come out of their houses and are standing with the activists. One woman 
from the neighbourhood verbally confronted a cop demanding to know why 
there are Nazis in her neighbourhood. The community members and activists 
have been asked to move by the police possibly to facilitate the concert 
attendees departing without incidents. At last count there were 14 police 
cars, two fbi vehicles, and one secret service vehicle on the scene. 08/24 
10:45 PM: Two activists are across the street from the armory, facing down 
close to a hundred riot police, fbi agents, and secret service. An fbi 
agent asked for an ID from one activist, saying that "we had problems 
earlier with nazis being attacked." There is also a police helicopter 
circling the area with a spotlight. A few local residents have also been 
coaxed out of their houses. The protesters at the scene have asked for 
others to join them. directions: "The nazi concert is in white marsh, not 
Towson. WhiteMarsh is 10 minutes away from Towson. From DC take 95 North to
