Bringing knives to a two by four fight? Trump supporter David Duke is on his way to make sure everyone is all white, er, right.

What is really surprising is that, this being in the USA, there was not a mass shooting.

Hey, Wc26, do you these knife wielding KKK thugs were all little girls in pony-tails? Thank god it wasn't any worse!

The KKK has a long history in Orange County, first to disenfranchise the Californios who predated them, and later to keep down immigrants primarily from Mexico. Anaheim is currently over 60% Hispanic, many of whom work in low-paying jobs in the service industries supporting Disneyland and other attractions in one of the most costly cities on Earth. Remember these hard workers the next time you do anything Disney.

"All were men, except for one woman in each group."

So why bother saying they were 'all men' in the first place? What does it matter? Sounds pretty stupid to say, "All of the people involved were men, except those that weren't".

"After pushing a Klansman away from the crowd, Levin said he asked him: “How does it feel that your life was just saved by a Jewish man?”"

Nice. Good on him for doing the right thing and helping people -- even though they are scumbags -- and good on him doubly for not just letting it stand, either, but saying something.

It was formed in 1865.

Directly right after the losing the Civil War, and when the slaves were freed.

Levin sounds like an intelligent and rational member of the tribe.

This was also considered a Trump campaign rally. David Dude himself has endorsed Trump, just this week.

If only Trump had been there to punch them all in the face. They are his fanbase. Kinda like the guy I saw around midnight in a Superman dressing gown waving a gun I saw at 4am this morning.

KKK-Trump voters at their best. No way they are Clinton voters. What class!

The man replied “thank you,” according to Levin.

And then, deciding feelings of gratitude were out of order, painted swastikas on the window of a kosher deli he passed on his way home.

Freedom of speech and right to assembly for every one or only the selected few. And who is to decide.

Donald Trumps message is "Make America Great Again" this is nothing but a twisted slogan with David Duke endorsing him saying lets "Make America White Again". My only question would be why wouldn't he think America is not already great? The Kkk rally in Anaheim does not reflect the views of all th residents that live there in the city. At one time the city was predominantly white home to Disneyland and now predominantly Hispanic in Orange County it just so happens to be one of the cities along with Santa Ana where household incomes are very low. Had the Kkk went to any other predominantly white city in Orange County that rally would have never taken place because the white middle class residents would have not wanted the negative publicity surrounding their city. With that said the Kkk took advantage of the poor in that neighborhood to get media attention and spread their message. When the Kkk March ior white people march it's called a rally when Hispanics, blacks and other ethnicities March it's called a riot. Donald Trumps message is the wrong message and what you have is poor white racist backing him because of fear of losing their privilege status. Ok Wc626 its your call your mind set seems to agree with this kind of Donald Trump garbage aren't these Kkk members thugs oh no they are businessman yeah right Or you too are in denial.

Orange County === more Asian people live there than Hispanic and UCLA, UCI, USC, Chapman has more Asian people's children, Ir is not LA or SD.

There are currently between 5,000 and 8,000 KKK members, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Although it has historically targeted blacks, the Klan has also launched attacks against Jews, immigrants, gays and lesbians. Until recently, it attacked Catholics as well.

David Duke, KKK grand wizard, has encouraged his racist followers to follow Trump.

The racists obviously see a great leader in Trump who can bring them out of the shadows and make new inroads to fulfill Trump's vision of prejudice.

As Trump has stated torture is an essential part of bring an American and the KKK is happy to supply the brown shirts with Trump emblazoned on them.

Trump apparently has not denounced Duke or his racist mobs. Nice to know what a Trump Presidency will bring to Americans and Trump is welcoming them to his campaign to help make the GOP ShiaTea more diverse.

What a digudtingly feeble attempt to discredit Trump. Associating Trump with Nazis and the KKK is worse than Trump himself. So, when Trump says something you don't like he is a racist. When you associate Trump with the KKK and faciasts it's just fine. You actally do hate as opposed to making headlines.

Trump is making headlines and is surviving the nomination race on shoestring budget with his controversial statements. One can say that's clever of him. An individual doing the same here on JT DOES actually hate!

So far only Trump has associated himself with racism and prejudice.

KKK grand wizard David Duke has urged his racists to support Trump.

Now, some seem to think that billionaire Trump is a victim.

Trump has laid the trap of racism and prejudice for himself. As far as 'shoestring' campaign it should be noted Rupert Murdock has given Trump hours of free air time on FOXNews to promote racism and the Trump birther campaign.

If an American wants to vote for a racist the GOP ShiaTea has an option for them. Or they could just write in David Duke on their ballot. Why are the Trump supporters so shy about the central focus of Trump's campaign, racism, fear and prejudice?

If an American wants to vote against racism, fear and prejudice there are many choices that do not carry the endorsement of the KKK.

Has the news that both the American Nazi Party and the KKK have endorsed Trump not penetrated the Bubble?

The undisputed leader of the Republican Asylum 2016.

Trump wouldn't have anything to do with these scumbags. Orange County is a very affluent region in Southern California a RED dot in a sea of Blue. The majority of people that live there aren't prejudice, but there are areas where you do have KKK or NLR (Nazi Low Riders) and groups like the Aryan Brotherhood predominately around the Newport, Huntington Beach and Irvine areas, these groups in California are small, but still dangerous. Most of them support Trump for one basic reason and that is his stance on wanting to close the border.

As Trump has stated torture is an essential part of bring an American and the KKK is happy to supply the brown shirts with Trump emblazoned on them.

You don't have to be a KKK member to support enhanced interrogation for any radical terrorist, come on now.

Trump apparently has not denounced Duke or his racist mobs.

Did Hillary denounce the Black Lives Matters? Or the Democrats in general for that matter?

Nice to know what a Trump Presidency will bring to Americans and Trump is welcoming them to his campaign to help make the GOP ShiaTea more diverse.

If you are talking about racial division, Obama beat him by 7 years.

So far only Trump has associated himself with racism and prejudice.

And the Democrats as well, but by deception do it more quietly.

KKK grand wizard David Duke has urged his racists to support Trump.

You keep saying that. Remember, since the late 70's Duke has ALWAYS tried some way to get attention to his pathetic little movements and none ever got any traction. He's failed at pretty much everything he has touched. No one takes the man seriously, NO One, including Trump, acknowledging the man would give him credibility. Just ignore him.

Now, some seem to think that billionaire Trump is a victim.

The American people are victims and have been for the last 16 years.

Trump has laid the trap of racism and prejudice for himself. As far as 'shoestring' campaign it should be noted Rupert Murdock has given Trump hours of free air time on FOXNews to promote racism and the Trump birther campaign.

So what you are trying to say is, the network shouldn't give Trump, the GOP frontrunner ANY airtime and basically blow off his supporters by denying them any coverage on the man they support? What would happen if they or any other network did that to Clinton or Sanders for that matter. This is the reason that the anchors do not and can not openly endorse anyone to appear bias. As for CNN and msnbc, they covered the birther issue as well. This has nothing to do with FOX and remember, the Trump persona that we now all know and love was created by NBC, nurtured and fostered.

If an American wants to vote for a racist the GOP ShiaTea has an option for them.

Or they can vote for a habitual liar or a Bolshevik.

Or they could just write in David Duke on their ballot. Why are the Trump supporters so shy about the central focus of Trump's campaign, racism, fear and prejudice?

That is just nonsense.

If an American wants to vote against racism, fear and prejudice there are many choices that do not carry the endorsement of the KKK.

Ignore the KKK then, has nothing to do with Trump and to label anyone of the millions of Americans that support Trump as racists tells how small-minded liberals really are.

"Did Hillary denounce the Black Lives Matters?" Why is this a bad group?

"Ignore the KKK then, has nothing to do with Trump" The KKK and Bundies love Trump.

Hey, Wc26, do you these knife wielding KKK thugs were all little girls in pony-tails?

LoL. Good one. Naw, I don't like the KKK. They got dealt with so it is what it is. Just like Rodney King once said (during the LA riots), "Can't we all just get along."

Those KKK guys are lucky they weren't shot.

I know last summer a group of white supremacists did this exact same thing in a predominately black/latino neighborhood. There were only about 10~12 of them. And there was no incident whatsoever because most of the people in the neighborhood were at work, and plus every saw these guys as sad little men who have nothing to do but make themselves feel big. It was seen as more of a comedic spectacle than an intimidating display of the power of white supremacy. And to top It off , there was very little law enforcement presence too for "protection" beyond the natural patrol schedule for the neighborhood. While their "protest" march was reported on the news, there were no incidents of assault or altercations.

For them to do this in LA, I agree that I'm surprised nobody was shot. Maybe LA was cleaned up a bit in the past 10 years.
