Hundreds Protest Neo-Nazi Takeover Attempt in North Dakota Town 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of people rallied in the small North Dakota town of Leith to
protest a potential takeover by American Nazis. The neo-Nazi leader Jeff
Schoep and his National Socialist Movement have voiced plans to move
into Leith, buy up properties, and vote themselves in to control the
local government. The town has a population of just 17 people. Sunday's
anti-Nazi rally included a large contingent of Native Americans from
nearby reservations.

Scott Garman: "Let's keep it peaceful. These are our streets. The
streets of Americans. They don't belong to the Nazis."

Chase Iron Eyes: "We know that white supremacists don't respect us.
They're here in an effort to spread hate."

Shelby Wilson: "We'll be here all night and then we'll be back if needed
over and over and over again."
