Morphine Prince 109,896 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The editor and publisher of a local paper in Alabama is under fire for penning an editorial calling for mass lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). He said Democrats were going to raise taxes and that the KKK should hang them and raid Washington DC. "Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again," the article said, referencing the KKK's terrorising raids through black communities. "Democrats in the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama... This socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people." "Seems like the Klan would be welcome to raid the gated communities up there." "If we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out DC we'd all been better off," he said. "We'll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them." "It's not calling for the lynchings of Americans. These are socialist-communists we're talking about." Sutton also told the paper he did not believe the Klan was a violent organisation. "They didn't kill but a few people. The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be."

AJRocketMan 2,684 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This is so awful. It’s scary that we still have people that think like that in freaking 2019. I’ve been there for the Hangout Music Fest and it’s a world away from these backwards, head-in-their-ass rednecks who hate black people and homosexuals. Yeah, there’s a reason why major superstar singers don’t stop there on their tours! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony Rich coming from redneck hillbillies who hate college education, repeat chants all day, and hate minorities. 18 minutes ago, Morphine Prince said: "Seems like the Klan would be welcome to raid the gated communities up there." No, they wouldn't be, you motherf*cker. 18 minutes ago, Morphine Prince said: "If we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out DC we'd all been better off," he said. "We'll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them." Deplorable. Simply deplorable. 18 minutes ago, Morphine Prince said: Sutton also told the paper he did not believe the Klan was a violent organisation. "They didn't kill but a few people. The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be." Right They definitely "needed" to be racist f*cks who killed black people for no reason. Definitely. "The editorial began garnering attention online after students from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, tweeted photographs of the article." Educated young folks coming to save the day and holding people accountable. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith Grey 3,225 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Fun fact! Threatening violence against a government official is a felony! I’m pretty sure the line “I’m not calling for the lynching of Americans but social-communists” would count as such. I guess he’s just too simple-minded to think about the consequences of his actions tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoshLife 17,019 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This sounds like a direct incitement of violence to me, meaning it is NOT speech protected by the First Amendment. I hope they throw the books at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
