Aryan Guard in Kensington 2

Aryan Guard in Kensington 2 by thivierr.
This guy put his black flag right up to my camera, and then threatened to bust my camera if I took another picture.

This is part of a group of white supremacists who gathered to counter-protest the much larger adjacent anti-racism rally (off-camera to the right). It included members of the neo-Nazi Aryan Guard group. This gathering in Kensington was the first of two on August 25, 2007 in Calgary, Alberta.

So, they're holding a protest in the street and waving signs and flags to be seen, but they don't want to be seen. Another indication of their intellectual capabilities.

Pansy. If he's so proud of his views he should be actively encouraging the word to be spread - even if that word is 'moron'.

Well done thivierr!

I never knew that they had those skinhead losers in Canada. Perhaps there is a Kanada Klux Klan hiding as well. The girl in the background looks like a real prize also.

And I hope that "Flight Centre" place in the background is just a travel agency and not a flight school. These nuts do not ever need to learn how to drive an airplane.

Next time they march tell me, I'll come up from Next Mexico with my cache of cameras and enjoy watching them squirm. Ohh ohh, we should have a computer set up to upload them ASAP. :)

Some people never learn. When you threaten a photographer, you run the risk of your image being viewed world-wide within seconds whether you like it or not. Video is good for this, too.

You did well capturing this moment, as well as standing up to this freak-show in spite of the threats. You did good for all of us. Thanks
