A brawl erupted during a White Lives Matter rally Saturday afternoon in South Buffalo, New York. The neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement had called for the rally in Cazenovia Park. But, according to Buffalo News, only one neo-Nazi official showed up, white supremacist Karl Hand of Lockport, along with a handful of other supporters.
I didnt organize it. I was just invited to speak, Hand, who is the chief of the Racial Nationalist Party of America, told WBFO. He plans to run for a Senate seat in New York.
More than 300 activists converged on the event to hold a counter-protest, vastly outnumbering the tiny number of White Lives Matter supporters. Video of the event showed one woman telling Hand that nobody is going to take your sh*t in this day and age, you are sick people
the rest of the United States is going to trample you out.
I came to hear what (Hand) had to say. Obviously I wont be able to do that, Anthony Chaman complained to Syracuse.com. He added that he supports white separation but insisted he isnt a racist. Buffalo Police had dozens of officers on the scene, but a fight still broke out between a man wearing a green White Pride t-shirt and some of the counter-protesters. His t-shirt ended up being ripped off in the scuffle.

2 years before that, I confronted Matt Hale on the street in Pekin Il for his racism (still have the scar on my knee when I was pushed to the ground by his thug).
My Dad fought the Nazis in WW2. I will carry on that tradition, always!
