No one is laughing at this Halloween prank after some residents of an Oklahoma town including the mayor's husband dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan.
A picture of the robed figures and apparent burning crosses in Lahoma has been heavily circulated on social media the last few days.
Concerned resident Misty Meister spotted people dressed as Ku Klux Klan members on Saturday night on Anthony Drive in Lahoma and called authorities at approximately 10:20 p.m., Enid News reported. She said she also saw a burning cross.
Cary Sharp, the husband of Mayor Theresa Sharp, said he and his friends dressed in the robes because they believed the prank would be funny.

(6,409 posts)That kind of stuff upsets people. I have a photo, taken at a Halloween party, of Jesus, Charles Darwin and Hitler having a conversation in our kitchen. Some people were very offended because Jesus had nails through his hands. Of course, some people took offense at Hitler, because Hitler. As far as I know, Darwin got a pass. And that was just a party in a private home. If you take that stuff out in public, there's going to be trouble, and I don't know why the mayor's husband would fail to recognize that.

I don't buy it.
The crosses weren't burned because of the intervention that transpired before they were able to set them ablaze.
