Now, with the numerous "not guilty" verdicts han- ded to Damian Williams and Henry Watson last week, some are saying it is over and that America can move forward. We at The News however, don't think the verdict is moving in a forward direction at all. Instead we see a depletion of the justice system, American values and morals.

But many of the 600-plus spectators who gathered to watch the 90-minute rally on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse Saturday afternoon had a message of their own. They snouted, "Klan Go Home," and jeered as 21 Klansmen, some of who carried shields bearing the Klan emblem, marched up the steps of the Civil War-era building. One Klansman said he was carrying the shield for his own protection. Klansmen were separated from the crowd by a line of law en- forcement officers In riot gear and a temporary chain-link fence. At least once during the rally, spectators tried to push the fence down. Officers showered them with a chemical spray and moved the crowd back. Several people perched in trees or stood on the "Mother of Presidents" statue, which had been wrapped in a protective layer of plastic to get a better view. No one was injured and no serious violence was reported. If there were many Klan supporters in the crowd, they did not call attention to themselves. Five young men dressed in clothing bearing Confederate flag emblems were surrounded by State Highway Patrol troopers and escorted out of the crowd after a crowd gathered around them, screaming, "Go home, go home, go home." One man grabbed a Confederate flag headband off the head of one of the men and set it on fire.
