Coincidence? KKK Leaves 'Neighborhood Watch' Letters in CT, Just as Zimmerman Defense Wraps Up

Coincidence? KKK Leaves 'Neighborhood Watch' Letters in CT, Just as Zimmerman Defense Wraps Up
Racists do not keep America's streets 'safe.'




(CBS) MILFORD, Conn. - The group United Klans of America (UKA), a part of the Ku Klux Klan, has been leaving a note on the driveways of Milford residents, which reads:

"NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: You can sleep well tonight knowing the UKA is awake!"

CBS affiliate WFSB reports the note is delivered in a plastic bag weighed down with rocks. The station says the note contains a phone number with an Alabama area code and a website for the UKA.

Officials reportedly said this is the first time police in the coastal Connecticut town have had to deal with KKK activity.

they make a big show of presence. They don't leave whiney ass notes under rocks like that. If they do the notes are dropped at homes of blacks and are not nice.

I suppose these White Supremacists are trying to promote fear that the Black Community from neighboring Bridgeport will come into their town and riot?

Sick, sick, people. Unfortunately, they are everywhere.

That's why I said it was unrelated below... However the trial will make the unbalanced a bit more active I guess?

if Zman convicted.

Of course, they also think the yahoo bigoted gun lovers will simply praise the legal system if Z gets his due with a conviction.

Earlier tonight my wife discovered a bunch of racist blogs, most ostensibly Klan-related, that were just as interested in the Zimmerman trial as many people here are. The difference, obviously, is that they're insane, insecure assholes.

Trial or not. The trial may have spurned more activity of late...

Not every Zimmerman supporter/Republican is a racist, but virtually all racists are Republicans and/or Zimmerman apologists.

They have manifested themselves in the actions of many Republicans and Teabaggers.

They have constantly been in the news with their public use of racist terms and racist actions. Dems are not immune, but examples of any racism are few and far between.

does not leave notes under rocks.
They crawl out from under them, but that is another OP.
