The inside-the-law approach that works to some limited extent is public community rejection. Things like large groups showing up and standing with their back to the Nazis.
The method that has historically stopped Nazis like this involves getting some level of police cooperation and beating them up

Nazis are about a popularity show of power to intimidate political enemies. You combat them by 1. Not being intimidated 2. Do whatever you can to show them their ideas are not popular and that they are out umbered 3. Don’t throw bricks. Throw milkshakes.
Surviving brick attack: harrowing, heroic, convinces base they are political heroes defending ideas people desperately want to silence.
Surviving milkshake attack: Humiliating, no way to spin it to make yourself looks like a serious defender of liberty. Shows that people aren’t so afraid of fascist ideas they’ll do anything to stop it, they just think fascists are blowhard assholes.
Fascism and Nazism is all about projecting power against a treating political group. They want to see themselves as the white knights of serious, professional defense of an ideology. Tp defeat them, you have to suck the wind out of their sails by making them look silly and showing them that they’re just a bunch of angry nerds.

Throw glass bottles. You can choose to fill them with your choice of fuel, or maybe piss? Idk, you choose! 🔥

Lansky rounded up some of his tough associates and went around New York disrupting Nazi meetings. Young Jews not connected to him or the rackets also volunteered to help, and Lansky and others taught them how to use their fists and handle themselves in a fight. Lansky’s crews worked very professionally. Nazi arms, legs, and ribs were broken and skulls cracked, but no one died. The attacks continued for more than a year. And Lansky earned quite a reputation for doing this work.
Chefs kiss.

Fire them, and take away their badges.

Not until they hide behind cops who end up protecting them.

It’s weird. They’re the minority, and yet they adore bullying those that are different. Maybe try standing in front of them with at least as many people…? They’re Nazis. They’ll turn around and go home…

Knock their ass out so they are afraid to show their face? I know that’s assault but who the fuck cares about nazis
