Ku Klux Klan Members Drive Through North Carolina Town To Hail Trump Victory

[sheshe2]

Police in Roxboro, North Carolina, will hold a press conference Monday to address community concerns after a band of KKK members drove through the small town Saturday celebrating President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the recent election.

The parade was originally going to take place in Pelham, 40 minutes away from Roxboro. But organizers moved the event after protesters gathered in Pelham Saturday morning to confront the Klansmen, according to the Charlotte News Observer.

Two men were also arrested on Friday night after a stabbing at a KKK meeting in Caswell County, where Pelham is located.

Local police and state troopers blocked several intersections in a bid to keep the peace as the parade of vehicles waving American, Confederate and KKK flags zipped through the town of some 8,000 people. Men and women shouted “White power!” and “Hail victory!” Only a handful of bystanders watched. The parade was over in minutes, officials said.

1. Trump's America.

They have been awakened.

[TBA]

2. Just wait until this happens

So much for small government and states rights.

Sessions has not shared his plans on marijuana enforcement, but if he chooses, he will be able to act decisively and quickly—more so perhaps than with any other of his top agenda items such as re-doubling efforts to combat illegal immigration and relaxing oversight of local police forces and federal civil rights laws. With little more than the stroke of his own pen, the new attorney general will be able to arrest growers, retailers and users, defying the will of more than half the nation’s voters, including those in his own state where legislators approved the use of CBD. Aggressive enforcement could cause chaos in a $6.7 billion industry that is already attracting major investment from Wall Street hedge funds and expected to hit $21.8 billion by 2020.

And so far, Congress has shown no interest in trying to stop the Sessions nomination, at least on this issue. Even members who are in favor of protecting states from federal interference on the marijuana issue have said they support Sessions’ confirmation as attorney general: “I strongly support Jeff Sessions as Attorney General,” said Representative Tom McClintock, Republican from California. “He is a strict constitutionalist who believes in the rule of law. I would expect that he will respect the prerogative of individual states to determine their own laws involving strictly intra-state commerce.”

Meanwhile, proponents of legalization across the country are panicking as they reckon with how quickly a Reagan-era throwback in the attorney general’s office will be able to dismantle more than a decade of progress.

“If we don't take action and hold President-elect Trump accountable,” said Representative Jared Polis, Democrat from Colorado, “in one fell swoop, the federal government could damage state economies, and discourage entrepreneurship—placing some of our innovators behind bars, all while eroding states' rights.”

3. Nothing will be untouched, nothing will be left unharmed, undamaged.

This is the beginning of the end, of everything.

Count on it, plan for it, arrange whatever deck chairs you need to because this is actually happening. It took 150 + years but the civil war is back.

4. I've been wondering if the KKK is going to march in the inaugural parade.

With his cabinet picks and advisors backgrounds, I wouldn't be surprised.

5. This country needs a good antifa movement.

As in the kinds of activists who will go adjust the attitudes of klansmen with spiked baseball bats.

Bash the fash!

6. Wow.. 20 whole members

I've seen more people at chemtrail protests.

[LanternWaste]

7. 20 here. 20 there. 20 over there.

20 here. 20 there. 20 over there. No doubt, it's becoming rather difficulty to minimize an obvious presence, but I have faith many will continue to pretend it's merely an aberration rather than a rapidly growing symptom.

8. Roll over and go back to sleep, then

Nothing at all to be concerned about.

Wow. Just wow.

[sheshe2]

11. ...

[sheshe2]

10. Think of how many are getting Cabinet positions @ the WH.

[Old Vet]

12. Its still 20 to many........

[sheshe2]

18. Yup.

[Abq_Sarah]

20. Yes

But it's not like there were a hundred, or a thousand. 20 out of a town of 8500 isn't exactly hyperventilation time. They're just fringe kooks and their population is declining every year.

[uponit7771]

21. +1

[mnmoderatedem]

9. Hey Trump! There is something for you to obsessively tweet about!

They are hailing you name in their cause. Does that bother you as much as SNL skits poking fun at you?

[Cha]

13. They got their asshole in the WH.. and so did all

the idiots who got suckered by him.

[sheshe2]

14. Sad that we have to pay for their stupidity.

[lpbk2713]

15. That's something I could never understand.

Why do some people go to so much trouble to display their ignorance in public?

[sheshe2]

17. Probably because they are ignorant.

Also, they know their majority is dying out. I won't be around to see it yet the census shows that 2040-2050 we are going to have an America of all colors.

[cwydro]

16. And there were numerous gatherings throughout the state to counter-act the cretins.

They're pathetic, and everyone knows it.

[gratuitous]

19. The trouble is, you have to turn out every time

They're incredibly tiresome, but as soon as one of their little demonstrations goes unremarked, they're empowered to do more, and low information people start thinking "There must be something to this" deplorable activity, and it accrues a little credibility, a little respectability. They have to be counter-acted each and every time, no exceptions.
