Thirty years ago on November 3, 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina, five were killed as result of an armed attack by members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Nazi Party on a Communist street protest. The brazen, broad daylight murders resulted in the death of Communist protesters in the street, as armed members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party pulled rifles out of a caravan of automobiles and shot protesters to death.

The caravan drives past the protesters, appears to be harassed, then automobiles pull over, and men jump out start pulling guns out and shooting the protesters. A second French video on YouTube captures additional footage of the shootings by the Klan and the Nazis, as well as efforts by police to later come to the scene after the fact, and police findings of weapons in KKK automobiles. The second French video concludes with a “triumphant” rally by the Ku Klux Klan in Greensboro, North Carolina decrying way the Ku Klux Klan was portrayed on the “Jew tube,” and praising the efforts of the Klan in keeping “the apes from Africa” from protesting in Greensboro, North Carolina.
