White Supremacists Protested in Michigan
White Supremacists Protested in Michigan

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A group of white supremacists demonstrating outside Michigan's Capitol was far outnumbered by 500 protesters who were screened by metal detectors and kept separate by 6-foot-high chain-link fences.

About 75 people from the Minneapolis-based National Socialist Movement were met with taunts from hundreds of protesters in what police described as a generally orderly event.

State and city police reported 16 arrests, mostly for disorderly conduct and other misdemeanors. Two people were taken to a hospital for minor injuries and a third was treated at the scene following scuffling between the two groups, police said.

Police said rocks were thrown at some officers as protesters left the rally site and windows of a police van were smashed, but no police injuries were reported. About 500 law enforcement officers -- some in helicopters and on horseback -- kept the peace.
