OTV: Ignore Aryan Nations Protesters

OrangeTV: I'm friends with some of the folks that worked on the event, and I don't have any details, but from what I've gathered there was no real drama. I heard the Aryan loon-goons only stuck around for about a half-hour of the four hour event, eventually leaving after being successfully heckled away by certain pleasingly obnoxious participants of the event. There seems to have been really no news in that regard, and I HOPE the stupid CDA Press continues to ignore the subject, rather than make a big deal out of nothing and give these morons the publicity they're craving. The Race for Equality event itself, however, was an enormous success and that DOES deserve some publicity.

Question: If the Aryans continue to show up at events sponsored by the Human Rights Institute and Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, should they be mentioned or even spotlighted in local media coverage?
