3 Stabbed In California ‘Ku Klux Klan’ Rally
KABUL: (MEP) Three people have been stabbed, and one of them critically injured in an anti-immigrant rally between members of Ku Klux Klan on Saturday in Anaheim, Southern California, local media said.
The US white supremacist group clashed with a larger gathering of counter-protesters where at least thirteen people were also arrested, including one Klan member who is accused of stabbing a counter-protester with a flagpole, said Anaheim Police Sergeant Daron Wyatt.
Wyatt added the violence broke out when nearly 30 anti-Klan protesters showed up before the rally and attacked six Klan members who arrived there later as they exited their cars.
“As soon as they got out of their vehicle, immediately they were attacked by counter-protesters and this caused a melee down the block,” he said.
Most seriously wounded of the victims was stabbed with flagpole and listed in critical condition, but his condition has been upgraded to stable
Being one of the oldest and most infamous hate groups in the US, the Ku Klux Klan has targeted African Americans, Jews, Catholics and immigrants, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which studies hate groups.
