Some of the marchers were thought to be a part of the right-wing group "The Nation." They carried anti-ISIS and anti-terror signs and chanted as they made their way to the Brussels Stock Exchange, where they were met with police in riot gear.

Watch Live: Extreme Right-Wing Group holds Protest in Brussels
The police fired a water canon at the group at least once — as crowds who were originally there to hold a peace rally in the Place de la Bourse cheered. A remembrance ceremony scheduled for Sunday afternoon was canceled Saturday by Brussels authorities citing the level 3 terror threat. But people gathered in the square outside of the iconic stock exchange building anyway.
As the right-wing protesters were pushed back by officers, they shouted: "This is our home." Most were clad in black, while some were masked.
Cheers later rang out as members of the peaceful group were able to string a banner of more than a dozen nations' flags tied together across the length of the steps outside the stock exchange building.
Shortly after the flags were hoisted, at about 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET), relative calm was reestablished in the square.

Typical socialists. They can't seem to stop terrorists, but a right-wing protest? Right on it with riot gear and water cannons.
