'They Need to Go Home': Neo-Nazis Can't Find a Warm Welcome at Texas Rallies

Nearly two hours southeast of Dallas, halfway to Houston, Centerville sits on the side of Interstate 45. It’s a small town, home to fewer than 1,000 people.

So, when a handful of out-of-town neo-Nazis showed up on a street corner on June 5, waving their flags and holding up “White Lives Matter” placards, word spread quickly and a commotion followed.

When local resident Spencer Culton spotted the masked white nationalists, he whipped out his phone and started recording. “I don’t know where these motherfuckers are from,” he narrated, approaching the group, “but they need to go home.”

A neo-Nazi wearing a white shirt and a black bandana replied, “We’re getting out of y’all’s town.”

“Hurry up with it,” Culton shot back.

They hand out "literature" and ask for donations.

I figure they do OK because they keep coming back.

I stopped by my 90 year old Dad's house one time, and he had a pile of pamphlets sitting on a table just inside his door. I thumbed through them and it was sickening racist Nazi crap.

I asked him what the deal was, and he told me a couple of nice young men stopped by and chatted with him. He gave them a cold drink and twenty bucks. He said he didn't even look at the "literature", he assumed they were from a church group.
