White Supremacist Group Patriot Front Heckled Out of Chicago March for Life
RUN OUT THE RACISTS

A white supremacist group encountered a less-than-receptive crowd during an anti-abortion march in Chicago on Saturday. Clad in khaki pants, blue jackets, and white balaclavas, members of Patriot Front walked through the freezing streets of the Windy City bearing upside-down American flags and a banner reading “Strong families make strong nations.” They tried to join the March for Life, but anti-abortion rights demonstrators had other ideas, heckling the racists with taunts of “Who do you guys think you are?” and “What are you guys carrying shields for?” Cars honked at them as well. The white supremacists eventually ceded to their detractors and broke off from the march. They ended the day with a reportedly extended wait for their transportation in the snow. The group is no stranger to logistical difficulties. Patriot Front was last spotted in disarray in Washington, D.C., stranded for hours waiting for pickup in rented U-Hauls.

4. I'm a Chicago guy. We certainly have our racists, but organized groups have never

been popular here.

In the 70s/early80's, there was a "nazi" group here. They became infamous.

There is a movie called "Skokie" that portrays a suburb of Chicago, and the problems with these "nazis' marching there. The town of Skokie was 60% Jewish at the time, with very large numbers of Holocaust survivors.

This group was run out of many neighborhoods. They would try to march in areas that were mostly white, assuming they would be welcome. They weren't. In one case, the neighborhood street gang ran them off.

Also, that scene in "The Blues Brothers" where the "nazis" were run off the bridge is a direct shot at the rag tag nazis in Chicago. That scene was very current true history at the time. They even cast the leader dead-on.
