OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A small group of neo-Nazis that gathered at 
the Capitol Sunday afternoon was outnumbered nearly tenfold by 
counter-demonstrators.

Fewer than 10 members of the National Socialist Movement stood 
on the Capitol steps waving swastika flags. They had been scheduled 
to demonstrate at Sylvester Park downtown.

The group was met by more than 100 protestors who had moved a 
planned rally at Heritage Park to counter the demonstration. 
Counter-protestors chanted "out of Olympia" over the Neo-Nazi 
group's loudspeaker.

The two groups exchanged some angry banter for about half an 
hour, then the neo-Nazi group was escorted off the Capitol 
Campus, said Sgt. John Sager of the Washington State Patrol. 
There were no direct physical confrontations reported.

There were no injuries or arrests.
