The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders.

A small group of neo-Nazis marched in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, drawing a few vocal opponents and ultimately leaving following a "challenge," police said.

The demonstrators, all men, wore red, long-sleeve T-shirts and black pants, and some carried black Nazi flags, according to verified social media video from the scene.

"Neo-Nazi demonstrators ... carried flags with swastikas, walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Saturday afternoon," Nashville police said in a statement.

No arrests were reported, and the group left in a U-Haul box truck that ultimately exited greater Nashville, police said, indicating the demonstrators may have been from out of town.

"Some persons on Broadway challenged the group, most of whom wore face coverings," the department said. "The group headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and departed Davidson County."

People need to start taking the paradox of tolerance seriously.
Police doing police shit: "They drove away ... indicating that we think they were outsiders." Uhauls can be rented and picked up anywhere. Pigs won't lift a finger to stop nazis.
Nobody thinks it's weird they didn't rent a bus? They rented a UHaul box truck and just piled in and sat on the floor? Folding chairs? Like this sounds like some low budget human trafficking cosplay.
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
Everyone, may I present the proud white race.
Just want to say, if I'm on your jury after you have t-boned or firebombed a truck full of nazis, you will never see prison.

It is just self-defense at this point.
Among the seriousness of the situation, I just want to say that I find hilarious that after these things happen, nazis online always go "well those aren't real nazis because look how fit they are, they are all in good shape, and are marching! they must be feds because of all the walking and going outside! we real nazis could never!"
the fact they're not in jail atm is a failure of the system
Glad they were challenged.
Run away! Run away!
Now the right wingers are trying to say that the two Democrats who were previously expelled from the state house are the ones who invited Polhaus and his Nazi clown car, which is absolute bullshit, but it just shows that right Wingers continue to refuse to take responsibility for their rhetoric and actions.
And were followed to wherever they parked their mom's cars, and were shot, thrown in a pile, and burned, as is customary with Nazis and Fascists right?
Are we 100% sure it's illegal to beat them on sight?
This is really starting to feel like "Man in the high castle". Fuck Nazi's
I live in middle Tennessee and I assure you the only reason they were there is because they didn't friggin tell us they were. And I'm ridiculously disappointed I missed the opportunity to meet them.
Smart money says they came from Illinois
UHaul truck?

Should have pulled it over and cited everyone in it for seatbelt violations, at least get a list of their names.
A Trump rally in Nashville?
Probably these morons.

They kind of look like patriot front rebranded.
Where's Indiana Jones when you need him? Didn't he take out a truck full of Nazis?
Republicans stopped them!

Right?

Republicans stopped them?

RIGHT?
Wayne and Tanis from Letterkenny need to have a donnybrook with the hard right.
They have to pile into a u-haul cause a u-haul blocks them from glowing allover the place.
