COLUMBIA - A spring day in downtown was anything but pretty, but aside from a few arrests, peace prevailed as neo-Nazis marched, and then left town.

The scene was intense along the parade route.The neo-Nazis started marching at 1:00 p.m.

The sidewalks were packed with shouting people, but most remained peaceful, with the exception of two skirmishes. Hundreds of people were drawn to the streets of downtown Columbia because of the march. Some bystanders expressed anger towards the neo-Nazis while others were there in support of the marchers.

Inside the Hitt Street garage, the group organized. As the National Socialist Movement members marched forward they looked to what they saw as local supporters.
