if this shit happened in this area of SWMO it wouldn't be a story because the KKK contingent would sweep it under the rug like it never happened.

Marionville used to have a BBQ place right on the HWY. Bowling's BBQ. They'd sell their BBQ in bucket to take home and eat at your leisure. I miss that place.

National KKK HQ is in the Ozarks, near Harrison.

Not defending the guy...he obviously has racist/bigoted views...but he didn't say what's quoted in the thread title. He said, "...but knowing him and how much was built up inside of him, I can understand why he would be the one to do that". Most of you are making it sound like he's cheering the deaths.

Maybe the vote was taken during a lynching

I'm sure there is some around but I've never met, seen or even heard of a KKK member in SWMO and I've lived here all my life.

Force our beliefs? How about expecting some decency and respect for people that aren't white? Apparently that's asking for too much from a Mayor.

Actually, we shouldn't even call him a Mayor. For a "City" that small, he's more of a neighborhood watch captain than a Mayor. Who pays him anyway? The state or the county? Either way, they should drop the dead weight expense.

Yep, infact one of their main gathering venues was Fantastic Caverns way back when.

I have, multiple times if "they" like you it's no problem but if they don't it's a totally different issue.

Did they serve ice cream?

It's a variant of Chris Rock's OJ/Nicole joke.

How did you know they were KKK?

Said so on the T-Shirt pocket.

Pastries, and the others are respected businessmen.

One gave me a KKK dagger as a gift.
