Its too vague to describe the hate filled planned rampage I saw yesterday, doesn't sound like killers. I saw Nazis and that's how I will describe them from now on. Drumpf and his Nazi followers are unamerican. They want to destroy our country and all the good it stands for.

Nazis = white supremacists

IF they were chanting anti-Jewish slogans (which they might have been), the picture would be complete.
