SANTEE A man wore a Ku Klux Klan hood while grocery shopping in a Vons in Santee over the weekend, igniting outrage from elected leaders, the head of the Anit-Defamation League in San Diego and others.
The San Diego County Sheriffs Department on Monday said detectives were looking into the matter and will pursue any appropriate criminal charges.
The Sheriffs Department does not condone hate or any acts of intolerance in our communities, the department said in a statement in response to Saturdays incident. We are a county that is welcoming of people from all backgrounds.
Photos shared on social media show the man pushing a cart in the stores produce area and holding a plastic produce bag while wearing the white hood. At least one photo shows the man, who appears to be white and middle-aged, standing behind the cart without a hood.

(2,221 posts)If these arseholes are being identified on social media. Like the cow in MI that was hanging out of her car window haranguing the medical personnel that were standing up for their peers. Also the idiot that was spewing his nastiness on the police officer in the MI statehouse. And this KKK loving jackass. While Im not usually a fan of doxxing, the public needs to know who these horrid people are so we can stay far away from them. It could mean life or death.

sans the hood, of course.

(9,998 posts)He took off the hood while in the checkout line, after having been given several chances to do so. Then they allowed him to purchase grocery items.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT IMMEDIATELY, NOT ASKED TO KINDLY REMOVE THE HOOD.
I'd have left my cart and walked out of the store had I seen that.
