Counter protesters? What happened? ONly 12 people showed up to counter the 50+ minuteman militia.

Hello,
I was among 12 other counter protesters in downtown los angeles on saturday june 21 at olympic and broadway.
We arrived around 1130am on the corner to be greeted by 10 other persons to stand in solidarity.
We could see the flag waiving minuteman militia gathering around there cars that would eventually lead the procession.
We observed at least 40 police with about another 30 on bicycles down the street.
As the march started --we walked with the racists (on the sidewalk) holding our signs and chanting anti-hate slogans.

As the march ended at city hall...the racists went one way and we went another.

The sorry situation is...why was there only 12 people there?
There should have been hundreds.
WHat is going on los angeles?

Are you just going to say "fuck it" it was too hot....
and let these racists own the streets of los angeles?

They won that day.
Because noone cared enough to show up and kick these assholes
off the streets.

good job LA.....thanks for nothing.
