(Oregon, Illinois) A group called the "Aryan Anarchist Skins" held an illegal immigration rally in downtown Oregon Saturday afternoon, but despite a big build up, only four members of their organization showed up to take part.
Overall, close to two hundred people showed up for the rally, but most opposed the "Skins" group, or were just watching outside the security area to see what happened.
Security kept the sides from getting close to one another, and while each side shouted insults at the other there was no real threat of violence.
Members of the Aryan Anarchist Skins group claimed this event was not racist beforehand. But when WTVO interviewed one of the groups leaders who identified herself as "Commander Skin", she responded to the question asking her if she was a racist with the reply, "To some degree."
Ogle County Sheriff`s Police say no arrests were made during the rally and it ended after about 30 minutes.
