3 fans wear KKK hoods at hockey game: Ku Klux Klan hood-wearers identified (Photos)

Three fans wearing KKK hoods at a North Dakota high school hockey game Friday were identified. After a photo of the trio donning Ku Klux Klan-style hoods and robes went viral on Twitter and caused public outrage over the picture, an investigation. While the names have not been released, many others know who the people were.

Citing a report on Feb. 23 from Fox News, the principal from Red River High School released a statement about the incident that has spread like wildfire on the Internet, social media and other news outlets.

The official, who refused to go on camera, said the fans who wore the KKK hoods at the high school game are being dealt with. However, there is no mention of what action is or will be taken as a result of the "inappropriate attire."

While there is little disagreement that the image is not a photo-shop and three people actually wore clothing that caused uproar at the game; there is a conflict in terms of how long the Klan hoods were worn.

The principal said the three "students" entered Red River's seating area wearing all-white attire like many other attendees, but donned the hoods and robes for "less than a minute" after the school scored its first goal.

Stupid stunt but not illegal.

Let the school take actions they deep appropriate and call it good.

If they had worn "gay pride" or "Che Guevara" shirts would anyone have noticed? Agree or disagree with the KKK, LGBT, NAACP, etc. big deal. But don't selectively call-out people on expressing themselves. Here's a hint lib-lurkers, that's not celebrating diversity, that's not being "all inclusive" - you're showing your hypocritical colors.

I thought they were some offshoot muslim sect of women wearing modified hijabs or whatever they’re called. Or dunce caps with face coverings.

When I lived in MS in the mid to late 70’s, every once in a while the klan would have membership drives downtown and it would raise the hair on the back of my neck. Spooky demokkkrats all dressed in white robes and dunce caps. I knew where the field was where they did their ceremonies too. Permanent steel cross with propane hook up. It wasn’t that long ago in the scheme of things.

“While the practice of wearing all-white dates back nearly three decades, the wearing of white supremacist attire does not represent the game of hockey. “

That there is an example of some great investigative journalism.

LOL. Maybe it was all a mistake? They just happened to have white wool hats and scarfs? It is winter up there ya know!

How long before cold weather cammo (ie. white covers) is declared racist?

If they were illegal aliens, we’d be told that they were also “honor students”. Note to self. Never wear a bedsheet with a pillow case hat to a high school hockey game. People will become “outraged” and go viral on you.

No, that would be SOUTH Dakota. In the deep deep south, anything north of Hwy 90 is considered yankee country. LOL!

So a trio of young testosterone-poisoned (I assume it’s all dudes) yutes pulls a stunt to get the “grown-ups” all in a tizzy... I think they succeeded!

KKK was not just Southern. There were a political force to be reckoned with in Indiana.

And yet Black Panthers intimidating voters and screaming “kill all the crackers and their babies” is acceptable behavior? Got it.
