11/13/24 The community responds to people waving Nazi flags in Howell, Fowlerville.

“Community members who witnessed the white supremacists in downtown Fowlerville last Saturday attributed their show of hate to Trump's re-election. This tracks considering during their July Howell demo they were flying Trump flags next to the K KK flags while yelling "We love Trump! We love Hilter!" (video here)

“They were sticking their arms up and yelling hail Hitler and Hail Trump and everything like that.” . . Peter Damerow, who confronted the group says they told him to go back to his country.

“They looked at me and one of them said,” said Damerow. “No this is Pureville now, and we’re here to make sure it stays pure.” He says he believes the group did this due to the current political climate within the county.

“I really felt like they felt comfortable enough to do this because of Trump’s reelection and what they said to me at the stop light made that quite clear,” said Damerow." Link
