The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders.

A small group of neo-Nazis marched in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, drawing a few vocal opponents and ultimately leaving following a "challenge," police said.

The demonstrators, all men, wore red, long-sleeve T-shirts and black pants, and some carried black Nazi flags, according to verified social media video from the scene.

"Neo-Nazi demonstrators ... carried flags with swastikas, walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Saturday afternoon," Nashville police said in a statement.

No arrests were reported, and the group left in a U-Haul box truck that ultimately exited greater Nashville, police said, indicating the demonstrators may have been from out of town.

"Some persons on Broadway challenged the group, most of whom wore face coverings," the department said. "The group headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and departed Davidson County."

Jokes aside, they're all over the place.

Maybe not being from Nashville doesn't mean they aren't from Tennessee, and given Tennessee birthed the KKK I don't particularly have trouble believing some of these losers were from places like Pulaski, which to this day is the only town I've been to with three different streets named after Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Best case scenario, they're a small group of fascists that travel a lot for their demonstrations, but pretending you can't possibly find twenty of these guys, or people like these guys, in any state is a good way to let the cancer grow unchecked.
