An “unannounced demonstration” by Nazis ends when upstanding citizens push past police, steal a Nazi flag, and set it on fire. The Nazis leave, and the resisters are not arrested.

These people were just going about their day, and it was important to enough people to stop and get directly involved. They took on risks of bodily harm and arrest. I’m willing to bet that none of them were “prepared” for the confrontation.

    The Nazis began to back off," Eley said. “They quickly jumped in the back of a U-Haul truck and took off.”

    Every time i see a u-haul now I’m gonna be thinking about how many Nazis it’ll fit. This isn’t even the first time I’ve heard of them using u-hauls for mass transit, lol

      Its much more efficient to stack them on their side.

        Uhauls are also fairly standardized, so one could put a padlock just big enough to fit but not big enough to cut off easily.

      Sure would be a shame if someone were to weld/jam the door shut from the outside…

      When they got ran out of Philly they scurried into a U-Haul. That video is fucking hysterical, they wanted to come in and be tough and they ran off like the gang of twats they are.
