ORLANDO, Fla. -- State Senator Gary Siplin and his staff are going door-to-door through Parramore on Friday to warn residents about a Neo-Nazi rally planned to march through their neighborhood Saturday.

VOTE: Do You Support Counter Demonstration?
ROUTE MAP: Downtown Orlando Neo-Nazi March

Orlando police are working on their security plan to make sure the march doesn't turn into a riot.

Senator Siplin's staff is handing out flyers at Parramore businesses to make sure people aren't caught by surprise with Saturday's rally and are asking them to come out and pray alongside the marchers.

"That's the same group that marched in Toledo, Ohio last October, launching violent protests from residents. Officers there arrested more than 100 of the counter-demonstrators.

Orlando police said they don't want that to happen here. The chief and other community leaders have asked residents to stay home on Saturday instead of coming out into the streets.

Police have riot gear ready and have asked for extra officers from the Orange and Osceola county sheriff's offices to be on hand. There will also be command centers set up and even a special booking center out on the street to handle any arrests.

Orlando police had a special briefing Friday morning to prepare for Saturday's event. They're hoping it's a non-event and that all of the plans aren't needed.


We don't need this crap. Too bad it's not illegal, should be some law against it.

[Calcasieu]

Actually, Tonya, as much as I have absolutely no use for Neo-Nazi skinheads, I support their right to peaceful demonstrations. If they get out of hand and/or break laws, they'll be arrested. I also support the right for people to counter-demonstrate which, in this instance, I would be tempted to take part in.

[tonya]

I can't see how this march will be peaceful when they'll be spewing hateful, inciteful prejudices. Lines need to be drawn, and this is one issue that should start the procession of new laws. I support the "Chill Out" program, but I gotta tell ya that if I saw this kind of junk marching down a main street in my face I can tell ya right here, right now, I wouldn't be chillin' out! ....

But as Calc said, as much as we detest their thoughts and way of life, we do have to protect their right to voice their opinions. For our right to remain solid, we have to support theirs too. Otherwise God knows who will become offended and want to stop our right to free speech and opinions.

Tell me why in the HELL this type of activity IS NOT considered TERRORISM:




ADL Reports Resurgence of Racist Skinheads in U.S. and Launches New Online Racist Skinhead Project


New York, NY, February 7, 2006 … The United States has seen a "significant and troubling" resurgence of racist skinhead activity, with a rise in the number of organized racist skinhead groups as well as a rise in the number of unaffiliated racist skinheads, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

In a new report issued today, ADL warns that racist skinhead activity in the U.S. is rising, with active groups or individuals identifying themselves as racist skinheads in nearly all states in the country.

The League has launched an online Racist Skinhead Project at www.adl.org/racist_skinheads, which tracks activity by state and region, while noting that the substantial increase in the number of active racist skinheads in the U.S. has accompanied a rise in violent hate crimes carried out by racist skinheads against Jews, African-Americans, Hispanics, gays and lesbians, and immigrants.

"Racist skinhead activity occurs in every state of the country, even where organized groups are not present," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "It is a fluid movement in which skinheads do not necessarily belong to a particular group. Viewed as a whole, the resurgence in activity by racist skinheads is significant and troubling. The Internet provides a borderless universe for recruitment and organizing, and racist skinhead groups have taken advantage of the technology to spread their hate through cyberspace and in the real world."

The Racist Skinhead Project encompasses ADL's ongoing monitoring of racist skinhead activity and trends. Information on new groups and developments, as well as criminal incidents, will be made available and kept current on the League's Web site.

Movement Appeals to Disaffected Youth

The ADL report cites several factors for the resurgence in racist skinhead activity:

* Alienated white youth have found a welcome reception on the Internet from white supremacists hungry for new recruits. The Internet has made it very easy for young people to be exposed to the online message forums and social networking Web sites prevalent in the racist skinhead subculture;
* The white power music industry, around which the racist skinhead subculture revolves and which has experienced a substantial growth in online promotion and sales;
* Racist skinhead groups such as Hammerskin Nation and Blood & Honor have expanded globally, using the Internet to create a network of international white supremacist sites and giving haters in different parts of the country – indeed, the world – the ability to connect online;
* Less competition from the major established white supremacist groups, whose activity has diminished due to the arrests or deaths of leaders and serious factional infighting.
Racist Skinheads by the Numbers

ADL's report identifies 110 racist skinhead groups, the majority of which did not exist five years ago. Of these, some are already defunct or reforming as new groups, which is common as the movement is fluid. Also, not all groups are equal – one may have five members, while another may have hundreds.

Racist skinhead groups and individuals have been involved in at least 83 criminal incidents in the past several years, with the vast majority being hate crimes against Jews, African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities. Although some of the criminal incidents involve minor crimes, there have been 17 incidents involving charges of murder, attempted murder or manslaughter. Racist skinheads have been behind several attempted acts of terrorism; for example, in 2005 a racist skinhead was convicted for plotting to firebomb an Oklahoma City synagogue.
Racist Skinhead Activity by State/Region

While unaffiliated racist skinhead activity occurs in every state in the country, even where organized groups are not present, the report identifies several states and regions as having a high level of racist skinhead groups and/or criminal activity:

* California: The state of California has a large number of racist skinhead groups, a sizable racist skinhead population, considerable interplay between racist skinheads and prison gangs, a large amount of skinhead-related violence, and a very active hate music scene in southern California, especially Orange County.
* Arizona: Arizona has had a considerable amount of racist skinhead activity, including four recent murders. Among skinheads active in Arizona are many hardcore racists.
* The Midwest: Ohio, Indiana and Illinois have experienced a considerable growth in skinhead activity in the past five years.
* Pennsylvania: Home to one of the most active skinhead groups, the Keystone State Skinheads.
* New Jersey: A large number of racist skinhead groups are active in New Jersey, including the Atlantic City Skinheads, the East Coast Hate Crew and the Eastern Hammerskins.
* Connecticut: What began as a small collection of racist skinheads in Stratford has grown into the largest and most active extremist group in the state. Known as the Connecticut White Wolves, the group describes itself as a "white nationalist skinhead organization" and promotes an ideology espousing hatred of Jews and racial and ethnic minorities.
* Oregon and Washington: Both states are traditional racist skinhead strongholds.

ADL notes that not every skinhead is a racist. There are many non-racist or even anti-racist skinheads in the U.S.

I would rather be informed about who I choose to dislike than be prejudiced

It amazes me how stupid people can become in the modern age...How can anyone be racist in 2006? Could anyone actually beleive that whites are superior to any other race when people like Colin Powell and Walter Williams exist?

A man in German was put away because he denied the Holocaust happened.
Homosexuals are stoned to death in many eastern and Asian countries.
In France you can be fined large amounts of money for publicly speaking out against the government with out a permit and have had your speech submitted for review. Same in Belgium and several other so called free European countries. There are still countries where slavery still thrives.

Historically, the idea of liberty yields two basic threads: "freedom to do," and "freedom from." In modern times, "freedom to do" evolved out of the Enlightenment, when it became widely acclaimed that not just kings and aristocrats are born with certain inalienable rights.
On the other hand, "freedom from" arose from amending documents such as the U.S. Bill of Rights, whereby certain provisions limited the coercive power of central government. Moreover, freedom from also is derived from a continually evolving set of ideas, laws, and customs including such proactive and state interventionist notions like affirmative action, welfare, and employment insurance.

Actually, the two strands of freedom are interwoven, since it is impossible to realize one without the other, and neither are fully realized, anywhere.

Freedom to do includes protests and freedom from would include having your speech censored by the state. It does not matter if we like what someone else has to say or not but a true American will defend another's right to do so. Just as it would be my right to counter protest. However that is what the skin head group wants to happen. when counter protesters show up they will do everything in their power to enrage them so they can say hey see we are better then they are they started the violence. It is a tact that they have been trying to us for years. But only now are being successful with it as most people have forgot King and other peaceful protesters messages. The neo idiot have the right to march and speak it is the irrational anger on our part that has now become the greatest enemy as we are willing to stomp on other peoples right in righteous anger. When you let yourself sink to their level and deny the the rights of others then you have lost all claim to righteousness.
