The way I see it if very simple. The umbrella of tolerance only stretches over the people who agree to support it. If you are someone who subscribes to an ideology of intolerance you cannot expect to be protected by the very thing you are trying to eliminate.

Police doing police shit: "They drove away ... indicating that we think they were outsiders." Uhauls can be rented and picked up anywhere. Pigs won't lift a finger to stop nazis.
It's gonna be awkward at home and at work when they arrest people they know.
You forgot about when they get together in the social club later.

Nobody thinks it's weird they didn't rent a bus? They rented a UHaul box truck and just piled in and sat on the floor? Folding chairs? Like this sounds like some low budget human trafficking cosplay.
It's because they want to be able to hide. You see a bus, not only do you know it's full of people but you can often see through the windows, and they can see you. A box truck is a stealthier way to move those people, and it also prevents a bunch of wanna-be tacticool fascist shitfucks from seeing the crowd telling them to emulate their hero and kill themselves.
It could just be way cheaper too
That's probably the real reason. You can get a Uhaul for $20-30 for the day, a bus would be much higher.

It seems like a really reckless way to travel. Those things don't open from the inside. If their driver was somehow incapacitated or if someone were to put a lock on the back latch, the nazis in that uhaul would be in serious jeopardy.
But even without that consideration, the idea of getting into a cramped unventilated vehicle that wasn't designed for humans and trusting a nazi to transport you anywhere seems ill-advised.
Nazis are historically stupid. Modern Nazis aren't any different
They are neo-Nazis, thinking skills are not one of their strong suits. If the Nazis actually came back they'd have them all executed (like they did last time) because these people are useless. They are all far too self-important to follow orders, and too thick for command.

Which seems illegal. Why couldn't they have been pulled over and at least cited for not wearing a seatbelt?

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.
Yeah, just make sure you don't make that known during jury selection or you won't get to help.

Everyone, may I present the proud white race.
Among the seriousness of the situation, I just want to say that I find hilarious that after these things happen, nazis online always go "well those aren't real nazis because look how fit they are, they are all in good shape, and are marching! they must be feds because of all the walking and going outside! ~~we~~ real nazis could never!"
Bunch of cowardly, destitute morons- all of them
the fact they're not in jail atm is a failure of the system
All the cops were busy at a march themselves.

And were followed to wherever they parked their mom's cars, and were shot, thrown in a pile, and burned, as is customary with Nazis and Fascists right?

Now the right wingers are trying to say that the two Democrats who were previously expelled from the state house are the ones who invited Polhaus and his Nazi clown car, which is absolute bullshit, but it just shows that right Wingers continue to refuse to take responsibility for their rhetoric and actions.

Are we 100% sure it's illegal to beat them on sight?
who cares about legality, lets talk about morality, it is 100% moral to punch a nazi and beat the tar out of them, it is also your duty to violate immoral laws, therefor its your duty to beat the tar out of nazis. no self respecting jury will convict...
This is really starting to feel like "Man in the high castle". Fuck Nazi's
I live in middle Tennessee and I assure you the only reason they were there is because they didn't friggin tell us they were. And I'm ridiculously disappointed I missed the opportunity to meet them.
Smart money says they came from Illinois

Jokes aside, they're all over the place.
Maybe not being from Nashville doesn't mean they aren't from Tennessee, and given Tennessee birthed the KKK I don't particularly have trouble believing some of these losers were from places like Pulaski, which to this day is the only town I've been to with three different streets named after Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Best case scenario, they're a small group of fascists that travel a lot for their demonstrations, but pretending you can't possibly find twenty of these guys, or people like these guys, in any state is a good way to let the cancer grow unchecked.
UHaul truck?
Should have pulled it over and cited everyone in it for seatbelt violations, at least get a list of their names.
