Occupy Phoenix Protected by Armed Nazis

In the original German folklore, a doppelgänger was a ghostly, typically evil double of a human being. At Occupy Phoenix, there was a small contingent of men that talked a bit like protesters of Phoenix’s past, but sounded just a bit “off,” as if they were trying to reflect a message that wasn’t really their own.

The heavily-armed, camo-covered men at Occupy Phoenix didn’t feel they were aligned or allied with police as Tea Party protestors are, but instead made clear that they were there to use their weapons against the police, “if necessary.”

The speaker for the group calls himself “JT,” but the SPLC recognizes him as Jason Todd Ready, one of many neo-Nazis that have found a home in the Occupy Movement.
