Finland: protesters attack migrants' buses

BBC story here

From the article:

Finland's government has condemned a protest in which demonstrators - including one reportedly dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit - attacked buses transporting asylum seekers.

TV pictures showed buses being pelted with fireworks near the city of Lahti.

No one is believed to have been hurt.

No doubt the mental convenience of conflating the actions of the few with the policies of the government. Irrational at best, illustrative of an agenda at worst... though I'm quite certain you'll rationalize it as something else altogether, yes (as pretense is a most difficult habit to break)?
