Police Outnumber Protestors at Race Rally
Police Outnumber Protestors at Race Rally
By Associated Press

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- A rally organized by a white supremacist radio talk-show host on Saturday drew about 50 supporters and 100 counter demonstrators, but they were outnumbered by police.

Hal Turner invited the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups to help protest recent attacks on white students by black students at Kingston High School, about 60 miles south of Albany.

Police have said the attacks were not motivated by race.

Police had 175 to 200 officers at the event, which lasted about an hour, said Detective Michael Turck. He said he did not know of any arrests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hal Turner gems:
Now that the Lefkow killings have been proven totally unrelated to any evil white racists, all of you can take your foot out of your mouth.

But rest assured, I will continue to stoke the fire of public criticism upon judges; giving out their home addresses and the like.

These high and mighty people have had a good laugh for a long time, thinking they were untouchable. Not anymore!

-- Hal Turner

I advocate the use of force to rescue Terri Schiavo from being starved to death.
I further advocate the killing of anyone who interferes with such rescue. -- Hal Turner

2. Why do police have to protect these people anyway?
If they want to demonstrate, fine, but taxpayer funded police should not be protecting them.

3. To protect public order and human lives
a massacre in the streets is not desirable from a police point of view, even if they're racists.

4. A white supremacist rally in moderate-liberal Ulster County, NY?
The area is the home of New Paltz, where the Green Party Majoy gave gay marriage licenses. The Democrats are also now in charge of Ulster County's legislature. The county itself used to be pretty right-wing, but is now on the left (especially with transplants from NYC.)I'm glad to see that the Klan does not have ANY support up there.
