The reason this doesn't work is that Nazis without opposition are a danger to any community. When not surrounded by many times their number of counterprotestors they are likely to find a member of a targeted minority to hate crime. The protestors are there not just to show that the 15 Nazis are not welcome but also to protect anyone who might otherwise find themselves alone facing 15 violent Nazis.
