NAT'L ALLIANCE RALLY FIZZLES IN CINCINNATI SUBURB

Once upon a time the National Alliance had 1500 members. That number has reportedly since gone down to 70. There is no greater illustration of this than the piss-poor showing of five – count ’em, FIVE – members who came out to rally on the tenth anniversary of the day they brought out hundreds to DC.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL, OH, April 24–On the tenth anniversary of the day the National Alliance was able to bring out over 400 neo-Nazis to Washington, DC for a hate rally at the U.S. Capitol, the same organization could only muster five to stand with them in this Cincinnati, Ohio suburb for a noon rally that saw twenty times that number come out to oppose them.

According to WCPO.com, a crowd of more than 100 gathered on the street chanting for the members of the National Alliance to go home. They were brought there by its Cincinnati representative Robert Ransdell, who was attempting to spin a recent attack on a white person in town by black youths as a hate crime. Police Chief Gary Foust has said however that there is no evidence that race played a role in the attack. “At no time did they indicate the crime was committed because of race; they were just walking around the streets with nothing to do, he said.

The teens charged with the assault, four 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old, appeared in court the same day of the rally.

Ironically, prior to the rally, Ransdell laughingly told the media that the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi organization, was being falsely portrayed as a white supremacist group. The group’s founder, the late William Pierce, was the author of the Turner Diaries, which was a fictional accound of a futuristic race war where at the end whites wipe out all other races as well as Jews, and Adolf Hitler is refered to as “The Great One”. The book has been considered a blueprint for white supremacists.

Police from at least nine different departments secured the parking lot where the rally was held. It ended two hours after it started, and the police escorted the five participants to their cars. One person was arrested for disorderly conduct.
