A group of white supremacists in Arkansas interrupted a Holocaust remembrance event this week carrying Nazi flags and shouting racial slurs, local news reported Tuesday.

The Courier News reported that demonstrators interrupted Sunday's March of Remembrance in Russellville, Ark., an event meant to honor survivors and those who were killed in the Holocaust.

"It made me feel terrible, it made me feel terrible for my friends. They were talking to us like we were pieces of nothing," Joyce Griffis, the event's organizer told KFSM TV.

Randy Cook, who concluded the event with prayer, according to the Courier News, said the protests didn't reflect the Russellville community.

3. Bring back the stocks, put them all on display on the public square in their Nazi regalia and...

hand out rotten tomatoes to the crowds...

4. "You've never seen such fine people!"

"The finest, I'd say"

5. why? Does it feel that good?

these people need massive amounts of drugs and alcohol, until they can deal with reality.

6. I'm sure there are very fine people on both sides

Every day the current occupant of the White House remains, these Neanderthals become more and more normalized and their hatred spreads. At least when they stayed under their rocks they had a harder time getting their message out.

14. Sweet lawd BtA!

I live here ...

It's in my fucking back yard. I actually attended college at Arkansas Tech.

Those hateful assholes came from a town(Mountain View) which is a few hours drive from here.

I'm trying to figure out how to combat this.

Not in MY town!

11. Back in March, when Trump was attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, he cited a letter

signed by Brigitte Gabrielle of "ACT for America," which planned a series of “March Against Sharia” rallies in 2017, with the Arkansas event organized by neo-Nazi Billy Roper; see https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/trump-anti-muslim-groups-letter

And Billy Roper is also behind this ugly group, chanting "six million more" to disrupt the Holocaust remembrance

13. on the up-side, this would enhance the immersiveness of the event...

...since nothing says "Holocaust remembrance" quite like a bunch of wannabe nazis trash talking the attendees

Nothing makes a NAZI smaller than sunlight.
