Are the authorities in Ferguson really going to allow the KKK there? (Original Post) SummerSnow Nov 2014 OP
If they do, it should be without the promise of protection. nt Ykcutnek Nov 2014 #1
So, they arrest journalists, but let the KKK in. WTF? nichomachus Nov 2014 #2
Are they there? helpmetohelpyou Nov 2014 #3
Yes, they sent out notice that they will be there to "protect" the good citizens in Ferguson. SummerSnow Nov 2014 #6
I read about that but what I meant was are they really there in Ferguson? helpmetohelpyou Nov 2014 #10
I don't think they can stop them legally. NutmegYankee Nov 2014 #4

True, but the KKK is there to be violent only and add more fire to a already tense situation. SummerSnow Nov 2014 #9

If you allow one side to protest, the other side has the opportunity as well, no matter how vile they are.

a little thing, but do you have a link to any of this information? The Klan are tough guys on twitter but I don't think we will see them around tonight.

Be careful what you wish for. If they can prevent the KKK from being there, they could use this power against other groups too.

The KKK is legally allowed just as the Westboro Baptist Church is allowed to protest at funerals and such. It's that freedom of speech thing we have. In this country people get to say as they like no matter how ugly, evil or stupid.
