Let me first point out that I am not the original source for this picture.  If you would like to see more of the original sources pictures or read the story please go here. 

Well, others may have experienced this but it’s a first for me.   I have never participated in the annual Yamanote line Halloween party and after what happened this year I am pretty glad that I haven’t. 

This is just one of a few lovely signs paraded around by a group of ultra right-wing Japanese Nationalists who were protesting the annual Halloween party.
Rumor has it that they showed up in KKK-esque sheets and pointed hats in order to fit in with the rest of the costumed throng of people.
Now listen, I am a big advocate of free speech but you tell me this, what did the poor Protestants ever do to deserve this kind of treatment.  Those poor Protestants, poor poor Protestants, my heart goes out to them.  Geez if your going to make a sign, at least make one that has a modicum of sense to it.
