A Neo-Nazi group is planning a rally this Saturday April 16th at the foot of the World War II Memorial near the Statehouse in Trenton. The group has obtained a permit for between 75 to 150 attendees to gather between the hours of 1PM and 5PM. They expect about 100 members to attend, some from as far away as Detroit. The groupis holding the rally to bring attention to high taxes, illegal immigration, and crime.
The Jewish Defense Organization has said they will have members on hand to disrupt the rally. They have also told any businesses in the area, such as hotels or restaurants, should the accomodate the Neo-Nazis their establishment will be subject to boycotts.
The NJ State Police have been aware of the rally plans for months and will be on hand along with officers from other forms of law enforcement.
While I don't think any group that can only muster up 100 members, especially when they are coming from other states, is a serious threat, hate in any form is wrong. I just hope the Jewish Defense Organization doesn't stoop to their levels. We shouldn't hate these people, we should feel sorry for how misinformed they are. Immigrants and other races are not responsible for high taxes, unemployment, and crime, however, their own hatred may be.
