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.”

    Just want to say, if I’m on your jury after you have t-boned or firebombed a truck full of nazis, you will never see prison.

    It is just self-defense at this point.

        Or during the trial, or during the deliberations. The first rule of jury nullification is you don’t talk about jury nullification. I believe that’s also the second rule.

          If you openly try to stear the jury to nullify you’ll be tried for perjury because jury questioning basically amounts to “are you going to nullify if the evidence doesn’t agree with what you think should happen here? Yes or no?”

        Don’t be too gung ho either though, if you’re going that route you have to be able to defend the idea that you argued based on the evidence of the case, because otherwise they’ll try to charge you with perjury for lying during jury questioning, they’ll do this because they designed the questions specifically to adversarially try to weed out anyone who’ll blatantly ignore the law and evidence in favor of how they think the case should be decided.

        Don’t be too mad at them though, if everyone started doing that, they’d basically have no job.
