LOS ANGELES — City Council chambers went dark early Wednesday after a man refused to remove his white robe and hood before speaking.

It was the second day that Michael Hunt wore the outfit to the meeting.

Hunt, an African American, submitted a card to speak during the standard public comment period and was called to the microphone by Councilman Dennis Zine, who was the presiding officer.

“Mr. Hunt, you’re going to have to remove your hood,” Zine told Hunt twice.

“Are you refusing to remove your hood? … Mr. Hunt, we can’t hear you. Remove your hood.”

Hunt refused to remove the garb, citing his First Amendment rights.

When three African American councilmembers left — apparently out of disgust — the council floor was lost, ending the discussion.

    half of you idiots arent reading the article… there is something potentially subliminal behind it and 90% of you fools only see that it’s a kkk person and don’t realize that it’s a black man inside… so stop making stupid comments if you are not thoroughly reading and making a proper assessment.

    I read on another site (i believe on BET) that he wore this outfit to see if his 1st amendment right would be violated and if so he was going to sue the city. He had already sued the city for something else and was reward money back in April of this year; I believe the article said he won between $250,000-$500,000. So he may not have had a good point to wear this outfit, he may just be a money-hungry individual!

    This black man dressed in KKK attire when addressing the los angeles city council. I get it. Bravo to this man. He was dressed appropriately for the group he was dealing with. Particularily Councilman Dennis Zine and others. The Black Man in the KKK Attire was just blending in, wearing what some on the city council wear everyday.

    BRAVO to this man for Keeping it REAL!!!!!

    To KORG and SUGAFOOT7, you two are exactly right, but first and foremost you have to get the Drugs out of the neighborhoods first, when that is done, then you can make a much more positive difference. This is constantly done to our Race because they know that we can take care of ourselves. It is sickening to watch them say, old john is not a trouble maker, he is a good family man, how can you be a good family man when you divide the family, sell the family or lie on the Parents to keep them separated. Black people stop killing each other and do not not for no reason turn your weapons of defense in for some stupid program that makes you defenseless and you cannot protect your family.

    THEY CALL LOUIS FARRAKHAN AND HIS FOLLOWERS A “HATE GROUP” ( AND THEY HAVENT KILLED ONE WHITE PERSON )JUST SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY NOT BOTHERING THE KU KLUX KLAN. WHY ARE THEY ABLE TO EXIST ? BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE AND BACKED BY A POLITICAL PARTY. IN BUFFALO, THEY DID AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER ABOUT THE KLAN THAT EXIST RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF BUFFALO AND PENNSYLVANIA. THEY WERE HOLDING AK47′S AND OTHER AUTOMATICS. THEY SHOWED THE CAMPS WHERE THEY TRAIN TO KILL BLACKS AND SHOWED THEIR CHILDREN CARRYING GUNS……THEY DID AN ARTICLE !!!!! AS IF IT WAS OK !!!! PEOPLE, WE “HAVE TO ” STOP BLACK ON BLACK CRIME IF FOR NO OTHER REASON….

    This guy is an idiot for doing that, but I can’t help but think about Dave Chappelle’s Black “White Supremacist” skit lol

    Two points: 1. we don’t know the full story as to why he insists on wearing that ridiculous cowardly costume.
    2. Michael Hunt is an idiot!

    My last name is Hunt but this fool is not related he is one of those special people. The Hunt’s in New Jersey don’t roll like that but he still need his ass whip.
