Newnan, Georgia assigned a total of 400 police officers, many of them heavily armed, to protect a rally held be the neo-Nazi "National Socialist Movement" group Saturday afternoon. While 50-100 neo-Nazis were expected to attend, about 35 are estimated to have shown up.
Police formed a heavy perimeter around the group, including a fence, two layers of barricades, and shoulder-to-shoulder riot police.
While no violence seems to have occurred including the nazis themselves, about a dozen antifa and other counter-demonstrators were arrested. Several were detained before the event, allegedly for wearing masks.
At least two were arrested for standing on the street, although it's unclear what they've been charged with. A handful of heated scuffles occurred between officers and counter-protesters, with at least one instance of an officer pointing a rifle at a group for an extended period of time.
No shots were reportedly fired, and police say no property damage occurred throughout the day.

Tax dollars at its best. Over extending of power at its best. Welcome to a "free" nation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7vXsrR4dGYDemonstration is sometimes important, to change a bad situation to a better condition. But the protest must be conducted in an orderly manner so as not to cause the fall victim from both sides. Sometimes it is true that demonstrations are conducted in an orderly manner is better. Thank you for delivering the latest news that I should know.
I wonder if the police have their riot gear manufactured in the States, or if it's made in say... China? I don't like Neo-nazis or ANTIFA, but I do believe they both have a right to protest and express themselves. Hey, let them identify themselves so we know who they are. If they're all forced to not express their points of view, we'll never know whether or not we want to lend them our ear and time. We could even end up becoming friends with one, or allowing them in our midst thinking they're just like any other person. When we let them identify themselves, we know who they are and then we can freely decide to or not to interact with them. How great liberty is in expanding our knowledge of so many things.
