From a legal perspective, I'd just treat them as gangs and profile them as such based on their behavior, I would be less inclined to buy into ideological hyperbole and fearmongering; I believe that law and criminology related topics put a better perspective on Nazis and groups engaged in "tribal violence" than historical or ideological takes on the subject, but that's just me. (Especially online where "Nazi" and Godwin's Law is abused to the point of meaninglessness by "right" or "left").These are genuine nazis. They were deliberately provoking fans of a club that has a left leaning support. Its like that poem about nazis. You give them an inch and they expect more. They do need to be opposed and not given space to spread their shit.It was a useless and, arguably, stupid thing to say. At the same time, any genuine Nazi deserves whatever he gets.
They came to my town once and we put on a fair as a counter demo. All good fun but the bastards came back. This time they were penned up in a pub behind a police protective barrier. They didn't march and they haven't been back.
The US has very little experience of the shit these people cause. Germany and Italy looked the other way and that turned out well.
We didnt fight Nazis to watch them march through our cities a generation later.
I'd also be skeptical of putting a criminal gang, which seeks to "imitate" the Nazis, though usually made up of overweight and unhealthy people who Hitler would have branded defective, and not likely of any racially "pure blood" either - on par with Hitler himself, or the Nazis as in the context of an organized national military.
If it were me, I'd rank them closer to "Jihadists" in terms of their behavior and threat prevalence.
