"Racist terrorism."
Dirty ol Huntington Beach, home to the US Open, officially Surf City USA, is bracing for a White Lives Matter rally at HB Pier at one pm today.
The rally, organised by the Loyal White Knights of the Klu Klux Klan, which was formed in 2012, self-describes as a newer, gentler version of the KKK, the white supremacist hate group defined by its profoundly unkind views of Jews, homosexuals, African-Americans, Catholics, Muslims and atheists.
The Knights wanna “restore America to a White, Christian nation founded on God’s word”.
HB has a rep for right-wing events.
A spokesman for the local cops, Lt, Brian Smith, said that while the city didn’t sanction the rally, it’s protected by the First Amendment.
Don’t matter if there’s Confederate flags, talk about lynchings, bags on heads, burning crosses etc.
“That’s all protected speech,” Smith said, comparing the rally to anti-abortion groups that march with images of aborted bebes. “Even though that is disturbing and shocks most people’s consciences, it’s still a protected right they have to display those images.”
As a counterpoint, the city is running a Day of Unity event at the same time.
HB mayor Kim Carr said, “We can’t stop people from coming to the pier, and we’re not going to be able to stop people from hiding behind the First Amendment to spew hateful rhetoric that’s really divisive in our community but what we can do is counter it with these types of events.”
And, the local BLM chapter is running its counter-protest at the pier at eleven am, two hours before the Loyal White Knights.
In a statement, the chapter’s leader Tory Johnson said, “White supremacy is not welcome here and we will do everything possible to prevent this rally and defend our community from racist terrorism.”

And obviously a kid with a warrant deserves to die, I mean you obviously are working the case. They can’t arrest his ass later? Are you aware that a warrant has your address and that they could just arrest him later for evading them? Do you not believe in non-escalation or is that too pansy-ass for you? Believe it or not, not any of the people I know or knew working in Law Enforcement, including my deceased dad, shot anyone to death, even in a standoff. And I believe you meant If You’re White, It’s Alright, yeah?
Ok ok look, the rally was literally put on by the loyal white nights of the kkk.
You trying to draw an equivalence between the BLM and the kkk does not make them the same. They are not.
Well, everyone knows that you have to shoot somebody when they get back into their vehicle. No need to de-escalate, just act as judge, jury and executioner because they have an outstanding warrant. Sounds reasonable, right? I mean, it isn’t like even being in the military and in uniform will save black and colored people from being violently assaulted by the police for the crime of nothing. If only people listened to things like “STOP FUCKING COMMITTING CRIMES”, then we’d have a harmonious, racially integrated society for sure.
‘racial harmony’ of HB….hahahahaha.
Sundown towns still exist, although not ‘officially’. If you are not familiar with the midwest or the deep south, you may not know what these are – https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-race-and-ethnicity-violence-db28a9aaa3b800d91b65dc11a6b12c4c
You can tell me until you are blue in the face that racism is not a problem, but you are wrong. Go walk in someone else’s shoes.
Actually we all kind of expect you to support a KKK rally
It’s bigger than that. Your experience is not everyone’s, I see it all over, have my whole life. But then again I am in FL which is one of the most racist places in the US.
Probably also carrying their stupid trump 2024 flags. This is the shit that has gone on in my backyard for my entire life. White supremacists vote trump – gee I wonder why…
And those A-holes will stain their precious white sheets.. with shitty values and even stinkier personal hygiene. Fuck I hate the KKK.
Looks like the rally was a bust, afterparty at Tito’s backyard, heavy clambake!
It’s really exposed the lower iq residents in all Countries. This has been a good litmus test of who really is a turn key mentally ill karen. There are still people who “believe in the science”, propagated to them by people who “don’t believe in the science”. smh
You be you HB. Please don’t ever change.
What if it’s exposed that David Lee Scales is underneath one of those bed sheets? Nothing surprises me anymore..
I’m apparently not very good at self deprecation either.
But hey, America does not have a race problem…
Sometimes I’m think Brazil is surreal … but then I remember and see that the USA, theoretically a first world country, surpass themselves in the competition…
America is shit hole.

These index it’s disturbing Ami
For Brazil (but we deserve that position, one of the highest sports in Brazil is killing poor people) and for USA
USA it’s shocking that position, because it shouldn’t be like that. Look at USA, and look tthe countries ahead and right behind… it’s disturbing.
But what the country is experiencing, with the invasion of the capitol for a coup d’état, and even today, this band of lunatics supremacists parading through the country covered head to toe with a white and a red cross on their chest, holding torches, and nailing burning crosses in public square till today … it is surreal that they are still allowed to walk freely in the streets
