A day after San Diego residents were required to wear face coverings in public, a man went grocery shopping while wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood, according to a report.

The hooded creep was seen roaming the aisles of a Von supermarket in the San Diego County city of Santee on Saturday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Store clerks repeatedly asked the man to remove the hood or leave the premises.

A supervisor approached him at the checkout line and asked him again to take off the hood or leave, company spokeswoman Melissa Hill told the newspaper.

The man finally removed the hood, bought his items and left.

Social media users and local officials expressed outrage this weekend after photos emerged Saturday of a male shopper at the Santee Vons wearing a makeshift Ku Klux Klan hood.

“Detectives from the Sheriff’s Department are looking into the matter and will pursue any appropriate criminal charges,” said a press release Monday, confirming an investigation reported late Sunday by Santee Mayor John Minto. “The Sheriff’s Department does not condone hate or any acts of intolerance in our communities. We are a county that is welcoming of people from all backgrounds.”

Photo at left was taken Saturday at Santee Vons. Photo at right was taken Sunday from same location by Times of San Diego.

The idiot obviously struggles to even walk without resting on that cart.

Edit: I’m going to spend a few minutes to figure out how to completely disable this phone’s terrible auto-correct, if it’s possible.

The most high-profile hate crime took place in 1998, when five white men left an African American Marine paralyzed after breaking his neck during an alcohol-fueled ambush at a party.

They developed a nice new shopping area with many ethnic restaurants. More diversity is being welcomed here.
This asshole is a not like the folks I know out here.

He did not comply with requests from store personnel, why sell him anything? Deny him service and insist he leave and not come back. Period.

I just saw the last paragraph: "Photo at left was taken Saturday at Santee Vons. Photo at right was taken Sunday from same location by Times of San Diego."

He's just trying to be an asshole. Ban him from the store and have a cop give him a trespass warning. Time after that, have him arrested. Stop letting him screw around.

If I lived there and shopped at the store, I would leave and then call back to let the manager know that I would not return as long as they let this idiot parade around in his racist mask.

And by evolve I mean learn to walk upright. He couldn't look like more of a knuckle dragger if he tried.
