PIERRE, (KCCR) — A neo-Nazi white supremacist group held a surprise gathering and march on the Capitol Complex in Pierre Saturday afternoon. The group of about two dozen posed for a photo with a large swastika flag on the south steps of the Capitol then marched around the complex right past the Governor’s residence. The Dakota Scout obtained video of the marchers as the passed the Governor’s mansion…
The marchers wore black masks and red shirts with the words Blood Tribe across the back. The Blood Tribe is based in Ohio. The group’s leader, Christopher Pohlaus on the social media site X said they were protesting House Bill 1076. That bill legalized a definition for antisemitism when investigating unfair or discriminatory practices. Pohlhaus noted in the post the protest came on the 57th anniversary of Israel’s attack on the U-S-S Liberty. The South Dakota Highway Patrol asked the group to leave because they didn’t have a permit to protest on the Capitol grounds. The group was spotted protesting in Deadwood Saturday evening.
