White supremacists, immigrant rights activists face off in Claremont

About two dozen white supremacists took to the streets in Claremont on Saturday to protest what they view as an unbridled flow of illegal immigration into the region, including the small college town.

Their demonstration along Foothill Boulevard was interrupted by a counter-protest of more than 200 immigrant rights activists, who decried the group as racist.

The screaming confrontation appeared to be tense but nonviolent. Dozens of officers from several police agencies watched over both sides, but Claremont police could not be reached for comment on whether anyone was arrested.

Jeff Hall, southwest regional director of the National Socialist Movement, said his group was concerned about protecting U.S. borders.

1. White supremacists are mostly gang bangers no

different than Bloods or Crips and should be treated as such. Why they are allowed any credibility is beyond me.

Off topic, but it looks like Claremont could use some road repair, but that's what Republican less government does for you.

2. Why is it that right-wing fascists always have police protection,

but when other protesters take to the streets to exercise their rights, they're usually met with violence by the police?

3. Thanks to the MSM for giving EITHER of these LOSER GROUPS any attention.

4. Crack-snorting, death metal-listening morons, each and all.

Look at the brave skinheads, with dozens of police to protect their sorry, cowardly asses. Feh!

5. Stupid of Them

to stage this in Claremont? Claremont is a college town with three liberal and one conservative colleges. The city itself is progressive,
upscale and historically Democratic.

6. Wow. In Claremont?

I've been gone from California for a long time. For some reason this surprised me. I know the Claremont College system has lots of foreign education programs, but had never heard about the city in terms of illegal immigration issues.

Thanks for the post!

7. Glorified tweakers.

I've yet to meet a racist skinhead in the Inland Empire that wasn't a complete meth-headed fuckup. these guys are only about 20 miles away, so I doubt they'd be any fucking different.

And the bastards have ruined it for those of us who like jeans, boots, and suffer from the scourge of male-pattern baldness! :grr:
