THE WEEK'S BIG 3
Police say scores of members of a white supremacist group marched in Philadelphia over the weekend, clashing with pedestrians and setting off what were believed to be smoke bombs at one point. The group of 11 militiamen who ended up in an hours-long standoff with police in Massachusetts on Saturday morning espouses a conspiracy-based, anti-government agenda that combines sovereign-citizen beliefs with those of the Moorish Science Temple. A rabbi is recovering after he was stabbed eight times outside a Jewish school in Brighton last week in what prosecutors are calling a hate crime.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
