KKK affiliate starts neighborhood watch–what could possibly go wrong?

Source: Philly Now

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, 41 hate groups actively operate in Pennsylvania. In York County, an affiliate of the KKK and longtime nemesis of the SPLC has decided to “give back” to its community: by starting a neighborhood watch group.

“A local chapter of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan launched a neighborhood watch,” writes Eric Veronikis for PennLive.com.

Veronikis reports that, in response to a recent spate of burglaries in rural Fairview Township outside of York, the KKK-affiliate distributed fliers saying, “Neighborhood Watch. You can sleep tonight knowing the Klan is awake.”

Local police authorities have officially acknowledged the existence of the fliers with a figurative exasperated sigh and roll of the eyes at the sheer bat-shitted-ness of the group’s idea.
