Does anyone else need a bath after reading that?

the KKK has a long history of murder, so it's hardly surprising.
I can't say I feel sorry for her, change-of-heart notwithstanding.

I do not see how this is bizarre or disturbing. One Klansman dead and eight more in the slammer. Sounds like a good day for Louisiana's minority populations.

Well, I guess that's the optimistic way to look at it. But it's still scary that this organization even exists. You'd think they could be declared a terrorist organization and be taken out.

Only environmentalists and vegans are considered terrorist groups.
The Repubs are still in power, you know.

Yeah, I know, but hopefully it can change. By the way, you forgot the Quakers. They're terrorists, too. Apparently, only peaceful groups can be labeled as terrorists.

We're talking about a state where David Duke still pulled 19% of the vote when he last ran for congess less than 10 years ago. Baby steps.

On one hand, she was being initiated into a group that wants to do similar violence to other innocent people. On the other hand, I can't help but believe that she was more than a bit naive about the Klan. She must have believed in all of that "protection of white womanhood" stuff. In any event, she was definitely Darwin Award material.
She also trusted a bunch of strangers in the wood who she didn't know in some initiation ritual. You wonder if she ever watched all the movies that say this sort of thing never ends well.

More on splcenter.org:
The woman Foster allegedly murdered, identifed by police as 43-year-old Cynthia C. Lynch, was apparently recruited over the Internet to join Foster’s latest Klan group. Today’s media accounts of this rapidly developing story have variously identified that group as the Dixie Brotherhood and/or the Sons of Dixie.
Sick hate...

Is NASCAR season over or something?

Evidently, the "Dixie Brotherhood" had a web page over at Freeweb; when I went there just to check it out, it said the page had been "frozen" and if I was the owner, to contact them. I got out of there fast. : ( Yikes!

As an aside, I really hope I'm not related to this Foster guy. Our family does have some distant cousins in Louisiana. I really hope he's not one of them. I know you can't choose your relatives, but still, that would be creepy.

Maybe it's time for the KKK folks to pack up and move elsewhere where they never have to see a non-white face. Maybe Russia... there will NEVER be a black president of Russia, it's safe to say. They can go be Aryan-obsessed there with no problem. Putin will welcome them with open arms. Buh-bye!

Sounds like a self eliminating problem to me.

The Red Army Faction did something similar, Badder murdered at least one of the members.
But another possibility is that they thought she was a mole. Hopefully folk will not leap to the assumption that the woman was really a supporter until we have more evidence.

Apparently, they decided my hometown of Tulsa has all the racists it needs.That sounds about right, given how the election went this year and what's happened in decades past.

Well, the number of racists a town needs is zero. So I'm sure Tulsa has more than it needs. But hey, at least you'll always have Bob Wills. And, yes, he is still the King.

A certain amusing irony in this.

Wow, some recruiting story, no? I'm telling you, the Rethugs have so stoked these loonies, they feel entitled to shoot anybody for anything that conflicts with their diseased world view. We should steel ourselves for more of this to come. Much more, I'm afraid and it needs to be continually pointed out that these types of hate crimes can be lain directly at the feet of Rethugs and their water carriers, Limpbaugh, Hannity, Coulter et. al.

And the world is a better place today because of all of this....

if this happened to every person who wanted to join the Klan, the world would be a far better place.
Some people are better off dead. Sorry, but it's true.

Said the woman's husband to reporters shortly after "The KKK took my baby away."
sorry had to do it....
But in all seriousness, maybe this will discourage people from wanting to affiliate with the clan. Kind of like how that crazy lady from Alaska is making the ivory tower think tank republicans question their affiliation with their base.
