Purpose of the KKK? Same as any hate group. KKK, Black Panthers, Aryan Nations, Crips and Bloods; all the same, just different colors. They all do have one thing in common; they are cowards hiding behind numbers; but their numbers pale in comparison to the good people in this country. It's not that difficult to imagine an adult in our state that can't spell the word devil though! What's the graduation rate, past and present? And until they are caught, I'm inclined to think it may not have been the KKK.

i have a question? what is the purpose of the KKK and white supremacy groups. i have lived in arkansas all my life and i promise you being separated and segregated in this society just ain't that hard. You can segregate and separate yourself when you get ready but do I have to do it too or is it okay for me to choose?

I lived in both Baxter & Marion county, for over 10 years. There are many groups there includng Christian Identity, White Brothers, Aryan Nation, Saxon & his bunch of nuts, Patriots or decendents of KKK members who don't formally belong to a local chapter, but do have long held beliefs in White Supremacy, Seperatism & Segregation. They didn't go around spraypainting & spraying fire extinguishers, their methods are much more intimidating & the results quite costly. Anyone remember the CSA in Boone county? This is either some teens or some wannabees.

thaone, put your race card back in and shut up. Gangs (of all races) are the ones that usually spray paint places like this, or some stupid ass punk kid. The KKK and white supremacy groups usually do not. By no means am I promoting or condoning any of them at all, just stating what my opinion is. The KKK and other white supremacy groups have been mimicked by so many people, just like the goober up in Pangburn. Everyone thought the KKK was coming to town because some idiot that was not affiliated with them decided to hang up some posters. This seems to be the work of some useless punk kids that had nothing better to do. Should it classified as a hate crime? It is very possible that it should be.

I would tend to agree with you forward. This sounds like the work of some punk kid(s), not the KKK. Some people think it is cool to go around and do stuff like this so others will think they are associated with a specific group and think they are "cool". In my opinion, it is just plain stupid and whoever did it should pay for the damages as well as go to jail. Idiots.

That's a pretty strong image your running on this story Fox. From the sounds of things and the mis-spelling of the word devil, I would bet this was a kid or group of kids, not the actual KKK that did this.
