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

So let me get this straight, you want to commit mass murder, but you also don't want to get hit? Idk, man, seems a little hypocritical.

I had the misfortune of working with that guy before he went mask-off. weird fucking dude who couldn't stop hitting on the women in the office

He has no remorse while calling for genocide of brown people, writing "death to all Jews" or saying n-word with hard r. He also promoted imperialist, bat-shit crazy books to his fanbase.
