OMAHA, Neb. -- More than 200 officers in riot gear from local, state and federal agencies worked with three police helicopters and blocked off 15 Omaha city blocks with barricades, mounted police and city trucks to greet 60 Nazi protesters on Saturday.
Dodge Street, the city's main thoroughfare, was closed for more than six hours.
Police said they wanted to make sure a protest by the National Socialist Movement, also known as the American Nazi Party, didn't get out of hand.
As a stream of counter-protesters gathered nearby, the protesters shouted sieg heil in front of a closed Mexican Cosulate.
"Anti-illegal in particular, but we have a problem with all immigration, you know? We need to close our borders," said Cmdr. Jeff Schoep of the Nationalist Socialist Movement. "This needs to be a white country like our forefathers founded it."
"I've heard more ignorant remarks, like, 'You're stupid. Go back to Mexico.' More than any actual substance," said counter-protestor Tim Carter.
"Everything about Nazis represents hate and evil," said counter-protestor John Perez.
It lasted about an hour. The officers on hand kept the two sides far apart and only shouts and insults got from one end to the other.
Omaha police said they won't know how much the security operation cost the city until the officers log their hours for the event, and a spokesman said many were working overtime.

Wow. That is all I have to say. I just for one didnt know this was still going on. Didnt know there were people that were this ignorant. I just couldnt believe it when I saw it. There were kids in nazi shirts and shit. It was crazy. They were going on about the immigration and such. Fucking blueberries. They were saying that we should close borders so its a white country like our fore fathers founded it. But they took it from someone else. And were immigrants them selves. They did this protest in front of the Mexican consulate in OMAHA. Its just crazy...
