NC Klan rally drowned out by protesters who ‘always wanted to talk trash to a grand dragon’

Approximately 100 members of the Ku Klux Klan took to the streets of Troy, North Carolina on Saturday to protest immigration, but they were drowned out by over 400 counter-protestors who attended the KKK event, The Courier-Tribune reports.

Instead of a formal speech about installing a “shoot-to-kill” border policy, however, Grand Dragon Chris Barker instead led his fellow Klansmen in what were meant to be rousing shouts of “white power,” “come get some,” and “read the Bible,” according to Jasmine Spencer, who attended the event.

Troy locals carried signs and responded with mockery, shouting “Don’t come back to Troy, boy!”

Donald Loften told The Courier-Tribune that he was happy the once formidable Klan had become an object of mockery. “Young people today will not stand for this. When I was a little boy, the KKK coming to town would have put fear in my heart, but not anymore,” he said. “This country has come so far since those days. Where I work, we all work together every day. It’s a shame and disgrace for society that this hatred can go on, but I guess there will always be that 10 percent who want to hate somebody. They want to stir up trouble, but they are dealing with a different mentality now. People have no fear of them.”

3. You'd think by now they'd come up with a fitted sheet of some kind.

- One that's not so pointy, but you know it's hard to overcome traditions. It's also hard to top this level of Total Obliviousness of reality, but they seem to manage it quite well.....

yes the KKK have a 1st amendment right to spew their hate but was glad to see that love far outnumbered the hate protestors.
