Jefferson City preparing for NSM march

By Jeff Haldiman, jhaldiman@newstribune.com
Published: Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:53 AM CDT
Upholding the constitutional right of free speech while maintaining order - that's the goal of law enforcement during a scheduled march by a neo-Nazi organization.

At a meeting Wednesday night at the Jefferson City Police Department, members of local law enforcement agencies talked with civic, elected and religious leaders about the National Socialist Movement (NSM) rally and march set for Nov. 8. They also discussed alternatives to the event that could be offered for the public.

“We don't agree with what this group is saying, but we have to defend their right to make a statement,” said Jefferson City police Capt. Mike Smith. “I'd like to see this turn out to be the most well staffed event - for no reason.”

Smith said police cars will be in front and in back of the group, which is something the department generally does for parades. All available police officers will be on duty that day, and they will be assisted by the Cole County Sheriff's Department, Capitol Police, Missouri Highway Patrol and the Missouri Water Patrol.

According to the parade request form filed by the NSM, the group will march past the Governor's Mansion around 1:30 p.m. toward the Capitol, where their rally will start at 2 p.m. on the south side of the building grounds. They plan to finish at the Capitol by 4 p.m. and leave town by 4:30 p.m.

Despite this schedule, Smith said they are not anticipating more than 25 marchers and believe the group may end the event early.


Already, plans are being put forth on alternative activities to take place at the same time the NSM event is going on.

The consensus of serious opinion makes Johann Nepomuk the grandfather; the man who raised Alois, though historian Fest writes that Johann Nepomuk eventually claimed his brother was the real father.As biographer Kershaw points out, the question of family in-breeding becomes more obvious if Johann Nepomuk is the grandfather, which would make him the grandfather of both Adolf and his mother Klara Poelzl.

and about you ol'boy Adolf;
Adolf's father, Alois, was nearing his 52nd birthday when Adolf was born, but was only celebrating his 13th year as a Hitler. Alois (Adolf's father) was actually born as Alois Schicklgruber on June 7, 1837 to Maria Anna Schicklgruber.
Mother: Klara Pölzl (1860-1907) "

Nazi's are bad but your attempt to silence them is just as bad. This isnt Communist russia or north korea. We cant just arbitraly decide what kind of speech is free or not. The nazis have a right to be there and to speak.

If that family wants to come back to the US, they know how to do it legally.

It's your choice, but Skynbird, am I understanding you right? Do you support the NSM?

People, don't forget to vote. Best wishes to all. Be safe. "

Maybe we should make November 8th Missouri's Jewish Heritage Appreciation Day. Or the enitire month of November. Let them still March, but let the whole dang place be decorated with posters, displays, and symbols - every year.

I think this march is a good time to ignore the tantrum.

QUIT IGNORING PROBLEMS AND DO SOMETHING. "

" Instead of ignoring the nazis and letting them march unobstructed, how about finding a way to passive-aggressivly disrupt their little march? How about law enforcement not protecting these idiots and let the non-nazis have their way with them?

Ignoring and pleading for people to not go watch the march is not a viable solution. We have to actively do something to make sure the nazis clearly understand they are not welcomed here and that they don't need to come back ever again. "

" I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I just think that it is pollyanna and unrealistic to think that no one will show up and that if we all ignore the Nazis that they will go away. The people in this town always try to ignore the problems and pretend they do not exist, instead of doing anything to keep the problems out or to prevent them from moving in and setting up shop here. I don't have all the answers as to what we should do, but ignoring the Nazis will not make them go away, and wishing that no one attend the event will not keep the multitude of rednecks, wood hippies, closet KKKers and good-ol-boys away.

Hitler and the nazi party was against: any race other than Germans, Mentally or Physically Disabled, Homosexuals, Catholics, Christians, Romas, Jehovah's Witnesses, Social Democrats, Trade Unionists, Poles, and other "Undesirables."

So - who are YOU against? Hitler took lives, he took away the rights of people who were different, who believed differently.

I do not like the neo-nazi movement or that they will march in our city. But it is wrong to stop them - unless we wish to emulate their leader. "

I am sure that even our Founding Fathers did not agree on every single thing, nor did they all have the same religious beliefs. That is where tolerance comes in - and being able to work within our communities rather than tear them apart. "

I don't believe the founding fathers were zealots. However, I believe they were very christian and based the Constitution on Judeo-Christian beliefs. I believe they tempered their religious beliefs fairly well considering they were building a new country. Keep in mind that it was also written based on the morals and norms of the day.

I meant that it is scary to think how different this country could have been if the zealousness leaked through. "

Both I believe to be true. This just shows how scary it is when God is invoked in a zealous manner by anyone or any group.

For the record, I am Catholic, conservative, and don't fear God, I embrace him. And for those who fear God's wrath...let God judge the Nazis when their time comes.

Think how this march really effect me? If it doesn't effect you, then chances are it isn't going to effect 99% of the people around. unfortunately 1% are whacos, and they won't change. "

Extrememist are not god fearing & raise there children to hate certain Races to induce Genicide ,murdering etc. whether there Nazi's,Islamic, extrememist, or terrorist.

They are wrong i agree with most comments prior to yours . Now if the Nazi's talk only about German Heritage that would be a different story...

" When an individual or group of people take a basic right away from another person or group, you endanger the rights of all people.

It is a slippery slope. When one right gets taken away, it isn't too big a step to take the next right away, and the next, and so on, so forth.

Take the online forum away, next the blogs, next local news sites, next the government is blocking access to sites it deems "harmful to society" (China). Sounds simplistic? Many small steps turn into a significant distance traveled. "

As for the NSM...I hate the thought of these guys & gals goose-stepping around our streets. BUT, if we take away this group's right to demonstrate, what right would you give in return? Would you give up a fight for gay marriage rights? Freedom of religion?

People loved him and followed him as he attempted to lead to global domination. He talked big until the US hammered HITLER into his German soil........Then back in the 1950's another young man appeared on the scene. He also spoke of CHANGE for his country and the people followed him. He recently turned his socialist government over to his brother. Yes, we still have a CASTRO in Cuba.

Thanks so much for this opening our eyes to this "truth" of yours! Some of us thought things like divorce was what is ruining our families, and that drugs, crime, ignorance, hate, and things like that are what is ruining our nation. But now we know better.

" In 1989, when flag-burning was before the Supreme Court, I was in Little Rock when an activist "Say" Macintosh announced he would burn a flag in front of the Arkansas capitol. The crowds showed up, it was near all-out riot.

Afterwards, he stated that this was the most publicity he ever got, and thanked the anti-flag burning people for showing up.

Instead of confronting the weasels, everyone should contact the local (JC and Columbia) media expressing that they wish not to see any coverage of this in any way. If enough people do this, and they feel that it would be bad for business, maybe they won't give them any un-due attention. "

How can one argue against a group's right (a terrible, misguided, and brainwashed one at that) to protest, with a permit, and urge others to action under that same right, without a permis? At least at this point, they are following the law.

These people crave attention, thrive on it, and are betting on it. If this turns into a brawl (physically or verbally) it shows up on the news, and on the internet and is used by the punks as a "call to action" for others who already feel the way they do or may be swayed with brainwashing. "

We should now, as responsible citizens, take action to prevent this rally, since our leaders won't. "
