[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2082097, member: 12952"] [URL]http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/2016/02/3_stabbed_when_violence_erupts_at_kkk_rally_in_california[/URL] Mayhem ensued Saturday as soon as six Klan members pulled up in a black SUV for the rally they had advertised and pulled out signs saying "White Lives Matter." Dozens of protesters swarmed in and someone smashed a window. The vehicle then sped away, leaving three Klansmen dressed in black shirts decorated with the Klan cross and Confederate flag patches outnumbered. "(The counter-protesters) were so angry, they would have torn these folks limb from limb," said Brian Levin, who directs the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. "I was afraid for their lives." Levin, who came to Pearson Park expecting to record the rally for research, found himself protecting the Klansmen until police could intervene. Police Chief Raul Quezada said his officers were able to respond quickly enough to arrest all but one of the main participants, with the exception of one counter-protester who was still at large Sunday. Four of the arrestees were released after a review of video evidence, he said Sunday in a statement from the city. [/QUOTE]
