Many comments on the last video screenshoted above noted how the police seemed to be intimately involved with the group. In the context I'm presenting this info that makes perfect sense. The CNN article even states that the protest was unannounced...
It is true that even offensive speech falls within free speech. That said, protests often require a permit, and in my educated opinion as an activist myself, a controversial and potentially dangerous one such as this would not be looked upon so kindly by police as it was. Again, in the context I'm presenting here all the confusion by local residents as expressed in the CNN piece would make perfect sense. So, were the police involved in an fed operation surrounding this protest? Past Evidence makes this a district possibility.
Operation Gladio was a false-flag terror program set up by the CIA and NATO. Although Gladio was eventually exposed, it was not just a single event, but an ongoing operation that remained secret for decades, in which hundreds of innocent people were killed and injured in terrorist attacks that were blamed on other groups.
"Operation Mockingbird was a US government operation where journalists were paid to publish CIA propaganda, only uncovered by the Watergate scandal. It took a thief to unknowingly capture secret documents and recordings for the public to find out."
One last thing, ask yourself this, why in the world would an organic hate group conduct their protest where they did unless they were the feds? They certainly were not going to change anybody's mind to see things their way in that location. Furthermore, unless they were feds with police protection would they not be in grave danger for no good reason.
