Anti Ku Klux Klan protesters out numbered KKK members 50 to one yesterday in New York.

[SUPER=03-New York, NY;]
About 800 protesters packed into barricades outside the Manhattan courthouse to take a stand against the KKK.
80 Klan members were supposed to march. Only 16 showed.
KKK member James W. Sheely was punched upon arrival but only suffered a minor scratch on the cheek.
Members arrived without their traditional masks, as ordered by Thursday's federal court ruling.
The group then appealed on Saturday to the Supreme Court.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg ruled upheld the ruling.
The Klan was also unsuccessful in getting Ginsberg to allow it a public address system.
Police arrested several counter demonstrators, and there were a few injuries.

On their return to Tampa Saturday, many passengers say broken toilets with the accompanying stench of sewage ruined the trip.
The vessel remains under investigation by the Coast Guard following a fire last month that left it stranded at sea amid a tropical storm. Many of the passengers admitted Carnival employees did their best to make the trip a fun one.
Carnival says eleven factory technicians were on board to monitor the
vacuum toilet system and were able to resolve most problems.
