10ft KKK snowman
Residents in Hayden, Idaho were surprised when they discovered a massive 10 foot-tall, noose-carrying, KKK hood-wearing snowman erected on the front lawn of a neighbourhood home.
Several parents noticed the nearly 10-foot-tall snowman while driving their children to school on Wednesday. The snowman has a pointed KKK-style hood and an outstretched right hand with a noose in it. In addition to the snowman, the home also has an Aryan nations flag on display.
The owner of the snowman later removed the noose, after being visited by county sheriff's deputies and informed that he could face criminal charges for hanging a noose. The pointed hat of the snowman has also reportedly been knocked off. Vandals are to blame.
Other incidents involving the Ku Klux Klan have occurred around the nation over the past few months.
Members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Supreme White Alliance rallied at Augusta State University. "We're trying to protest the constitutional rights that they are trying to take away from her," said a grand dragon with the KKK, Bobby Spurlock. "She has not contacted us, but we were contacted by someone that is aware of her."
Hours after ending their protest, the Klan members held an initiation ceremony at a house in Warrenville, South Carolina. Later, the Klan members ceremonially burned a cross.
"Certainly in Nahunta and Ellijay, although there were 40 robed Klansmen -- and that's a significant number when you think about it today -- there were probably 300 to 500 spectators," Bill Nigut, Southeast director of the Anti-Defamation League, told WXIA. "And in Nahunta and Ellijay both, there were many people nodding in agreement, supportive."
On October 20th, KAIT8 reported that a man in southeast Missouri decorated his yard by placing a Ku Klux Klan figure next to a black man hanging from a noose. The man, who said the display speaks for itself, later removed the "decorations" at the request of the county sheriff.
