Two years the counter-protest had to be dispurdsed with tear gas. One other year, despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by the city, the wife of the main klansman got hit by a brick and they sued.
All so 8 klansmen could stand around in their hoods on top of city hall. But given this I guess it's a good thing they took all these precautions.

Saw the very same situation in Dallas. The protesters outnumbered the Klan 10 to one and became the rowdy bunch. The Klan got what they wanted, though; lots of press and air time for a pathetic little handful of people. Just once, I would love to see the Klan stage a rally and no one shows up.
