Last week in the aftermath of the Chralottesville and again last night, Der Trumpenführer, has given license to hate-filled, far right extremists to direct violence against those who oppose their agenda - and those they simply dislike. And the forces of hatred are feeling emboldened to call for violence. A case in point: the Louisiana chapter of the group have distributed
fliers urging people to join their group and slaughter gay people in an
effort to “save our land, join the Klan, white power.” This is ultimately what "friends" who voted for Trump have supported. One has to wonder when someone will literally be murdered as a result. Pink News looks at the frightening mindset in Louisiana. Here are excerpts:
The Ku Klux Klan is taking aim at the LGBT community – who they believe should be killed in order to end the HIV/AIDS crisis.Leaders from the Louisiana chapter of the group have distributed fliers urging people to join their group and slaughter gay people in an effort to “save our land, join the Klan, white power.”
“Stop Aids: Support Gay Bashing,” one of the flyers read. “Homosexual men and their sexual acts are disgusting and inhuman.” “Our race is our nation,” reads another.
The fliers are signed “Loyal White Knights of the KKK” and include a website address and phone number to call for those interested in joining the genocide.
WSBTV reports the Newton County Sheriff Office has launched an investigation, following several complaints by residents who found the flyers placed on their driveways and lawns.
Bessemer Deputy Police Chief Mike Roper told AL.com the flyers were “very offensive”. Another woman who asked not to be identified told the news station that she is “extremely hurt by” the fliers. “As a member of the gay community,” she said, “I think it shows the ignorance of society still.”
The FBI said it is investigating the issue.
