     Ignoring them makes them feel invisible. Not “safe.” Invisible is the worst. Their goal is chaos.

     Again, the 2017 article does not come close to representing what happened here.

     anban repeated this.

     They've done this more than this one time in this town. They're going to keep coming back and making videos to recruit and show off what they're doing.

     They're being tolerated and they're trying to normalize this behavior.

     It was only five, thank goodness. I don’t know that “mocking” would be effective.

     It is the most effective response. They want to fight. They even want to be attacked for fundraising and publicity.

     So don’t engage.
     Mocking is engaging.

     Five people with signs isn’t the same thing as a group with a parade permit and history of verbal violence.

     Ignoring doesn't help. It makes them feel safe.

     Five masked White supremacists waving Nazi flags demonstrated outside of a production of the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” this weekend.

     It was the third Nazi demonstration in Livingston County, Michigan.

     Sounds like this town needs to learn how to effectively mock Nazis.
