Quote:A report of a group of people dressed as Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members in Newtownards, County Down, is being treated by police as a hate incident.

Pictures emerged of the group posing near an Islamic prayer house.

The pictures were taken on Saturday night on Greenwell Street. The incident was reported to police at about 17:00 GMT on Sunday.



"Some are saying this is just a Halloween jape. No it's not. Everyone knows what the KKK stands for.".

Morons trying to pass off racism as a Halloween prank methinks.

Gobshites the lot of them.

I find those crosses very offensive!

Yeah. Somebody should set them alight.... whilst the idiots are still holding them.

The Y-donor hosted the local Klavern once a year. If I saw those clowns I would have taken a page from the things said at those meetings.

The group of imbeciles pictured or some wider demographic?

You gotta love that they're forming a Klan in the most ethnically homogenous part of Europe. Well, at least Newtounards is one of the Protestant-dominated parts of Northern Ireland (79.35% in the last census), which would keep it from being an irony that would cause William Joseph Simmons to roll over in his grave. Unfortunately, I'm not in Covington County, Alabama, so I can't test for weird sounds coming from the area of the Simmons tombstone.

I suppose they may be part of the 8.35% of Newtounards Catholics and they're just wearing Capirotes and the accompanying robes,



But, I suspect the KKK insignia on the robes is a dead giveaway.

Intolerant fuckwits in NI?   Say it ain't so.

Riiiiiight...so it's pretty much open season on the population of Northern Ireland around here then. That's...depressing.
