A person wearing full Ku Klux Klan robes walked through the center of West Warwick, Rhode Island at 2 a.m. Monday, captured on video by witnesses and security cameras, prompting a police investigation into the disturbing incident that has shaken the quiet community 13 miles south of Providence.
Witnesses Confront Shocking Scene
Ryan Fitzgerald and his brother recorded the hooded figure near the Main Street gazebo while driving through town in the early morning hours. The individual wore the distinctive white robes and pointed hood associated with the racist organization. Fitzgerald described the encounter as unmistakable. When the person looked directly at their vehicle, the brothers immediately drove away, uncertain whether the individual might be armed. Fitzgerald expressed shock that someone would display such overt racism in their community.
The incident occurred on a Monday morning around 2 a.m. as the robed figure walked alone down Main Street. Multiple witnesses and surveillance systems documented the person’s movements through the downtown area. The video footage quickly spread across social media platforms, generating widespread concern among residents who never expected to witness such a display in their neighborhood.
Business Owner Reports Incident
Leslie Letourneau, owner of Candy’s Curiosities & Vintage, discovered the costumed individual on her business surveillance cameras. She immediately contacted local authorities after reviewing the footage. Letourneau described feeling personally violated that someone would walk past her storefront in such attire. The business owner said watching the surveillance video made her physically ill, particularly knowing this occurred directly in front of her establishment on Main Street.
Investigation Underway
West Warwick police confirmed they are actively investigating the incident but declined to provide specific details about their progress or potential suspects. Town officials acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and the community concern it has generated. The department has not released information about whether they have identified the person or what charges might be pursued. The incident has prompted discussions about hate speech and public intimidation in the normally peaceful Rhode Island community, where residents say this level of racist display is unprecedented in recent memory.
Democrats love to play dress up and cause violence!
Sweetheart I would think it’s the Republicans because we do have a dictatorship in the White House now I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a garment like that God bless America I hope that people like you and people like Satan the devil in the White House doesn’t cost us another civil war in this country
The only people I see causing violence are Democrats.
Exactly! Democrats love violence and confusion.
Just have to figure which Democratic Politician it was
Definitely, Democrat. But, seriously, what law was this individual violating? It is 2 am and the streets are deserted PLUS the so-called Klan attire is not even authentic. Personally, I think it was a very sick joke to gauge public reaction? Most likely, a college student?
I guarantee this was a Democrat trying to make it look like a republican. Chances are even better it was member of the alphabet mafia. I bet the mainstream media will issue reports of a “right wing” person doing this until they figure out who it REALY was then it’ll just be silence.
Agreed. I also think the pictured photo with this article, was not necessary and very misleading since this ‘hooded’ figure, in the actual video, appears to be a very sick joke and not authentic, yet mainstream media followed their protocol and immediately announced this as KKK. I tend to also think this was a college student who was trying to gauge public and press reaction as part of a class project.
It could also be a hoax and worn by a Black person. There have been too many hoaxes trying to stir up division and violence. Whoever it was should be reminded the Ku Klux Klan was Democrat.
I saw what appeared to be white skin under his chin, the back area. I could be wrong but it doesn’t really matter the color of the skin. What matters is the message behind that garb. It’s not a good message. You have to see that.
*neck area, not back
I agree the person’s skin color doesn’t matter. I would point out that if the person wanted to appear to be someone other than who they are, intentionally creating the appearance of “skin” that did not match their actual skin color is not much of a stretch.
Someone knows who that guy is. They know his walk. Those “someones” should let local police know.
This is not just a costume. This is a bold statement that could incite violence.
It needs to be investigated NOW!
2AM? What trouble would they be looking for? Or just someone sparking panic! Like the SPLC?
Democrats will do anything to divide us, just look at what SPLC has been doing for years!
Smh, Not much difference between people being offended by the Clans uniform and people being offended by people dressing up and claiming to be the opposite sex from what they we’re born.
And trump is NOT doing anything to benefit Blacks in this nation.
Really ??? What neighborhood groups in Chicago, Memphis, Washington DC….etc Benefited the most from Trumps Police “Surge”…..Primarily Black Neighborhoods….many many Black lives were saved. Amazing that Every Weekend 15-25 Shootings–90% Black Victims….AND the Governor & Chicago Mayor Sued to keep Trump out–Crime Statistics Dramatically improved–Except for Chicago….. Huuuum……more Hypocrisy & Trump Derangment Syndrome ….. Did you not see the No Tax on Tips & other legislation Benefiting Average Americans…..??? Get Real Dude…..
This is fake news.
I think you are very right: fake news designed to cause fiction OR just a joke to see the public’s reaction. Legally, this male or female was not violating the law.
Plus, the so-called KKK outfit looks more like a church robe with the ‘hood’ added as an extra to incite a reaction. I still do think the photo posted at the beginning of this “news” article was not only, misleading, but very inappropriate since it had nothing to do with the story, except to incite negativism, which the “media” is very good at creating..
At a guess, I would have to say the person is likely a democrat out in support of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Especially given how much funding they have given to the KKK and other democrat hate groups. Yes, the KKK exists and was originated by the democrats even to the point of a mentor to a young Joe Biden was a grand dragon? (unsure of his title in the KKK.) Sadly, this is probably just another democrat false flag operation.
