http://www.la.indymedia.org/news/2005/07/133856.phpOn Saturday in Laguna Beach, twenty-five Save Our State and neo-Nazis raised a display of U.S. and neo-Nazi flags while protesting day laborers. Fifty counter-protestors responded.
Laguna Beach, CA, July 30, 2005--Fifty or more angry counter-protestors stood up to twenty-five Save Our State members and neo-Nazis today to thwart harassment of day laborers at the Laguna Beach Day Labor Center. To the stunned amazement of the counter-protestors, Save Our State members showed their true colors when the neo-Nazis raised a Confederate flag and several large Hitler youth flags, with German swastikas on a horizontal red and white striped background, amidst a field of U.S. and California flags in the parking lot across from the center.
In spite of repeated denials of collaboration with neo-Nazis, the Ventura and Orange County Save Our State group has received support from several hate groups including the National Vanguard, VDARE, and Stormfront members. They have also solicited support from Glenn Spencer's American Patrol, which published notice of the Laguna Beach event. Spencer is most infamous for a one-man firefight against an imagined invasion of Mexicans in his backyard, and in the process shooting a neighbor's garage.
S.O.S. has repeatedly denied associating with or soliciting the aid of the neo-Nazis, who have appeared with regularity at S.O.S. protests. As of this writing, a request from an SOS member to the group's leader to explain the neo-Nazi demonstration has gone unanswered.
