White supremacists interrupt Arkansas Holocaust remembrance event
Source: The Hill
A group of white supremacists in Arkansas interrupted a Holocaust remembrance event this week carrying Nazi flags and shouting racial slurs, local news reported Tuesday.
The Courier News reported that demonstrators interrupted Sunday's March of Remembrance in Russellville, Ark., an event meant to honor survivors and those who were killed in the Holocaust.
"It made me feel terrible, it made me feel terrible for my friends. They were talking to us like we were pieces of nothing," Joyce Griffis, the event's organizer told KFSM TV.
Randy Cook, who concluded the event with prayer, according to the Courier News, said the protests didn't reflect the Russellville community.

It's in my fucking back yard. I actually attended college at Arkansas Tech.
Those hateful assholes came from a town(Mountain View) which is a few hours drive from here.
I'm trying to figure out how to combat this.
Not in MY town!
