Ku Klux Klan rally planned for Sullivan MO about 60 miles west of Ferguson on I-44.

Last edited Mon Aug 18, 2014, 03:07 PM - Edit history (1)

No details but noted on City of Sullivan,Mo-City Hall Facebook page with an official announcement. The last time this happened was about 15 years ago with a march down Main Street by Hooded thugs. If this occurs I am in place to docunent this hate crime.

My question to Governor Nixon where is the Highway Patrol maybe send the National Guard last time this happened these bigots were armed.?


Hey Agent Mike come visit Sullivan MO

3. I'd love to see documentation if you can get it. I suspect turnout will be somewhat low.

I like how they are having this rally completely out of the way of Ferguson

There are African Americans in Sullivan where there were none in late 1990's I suspect they are at risk. This is not a fringe group in Franklin County.

8. This is interesting. I know that during the Civil War MO was very divided and there was a mini Civil

War right there in the state. My family tree is loaded with Quakers who moved there to get away from slavery and found themselves in the middle of this war in MO. I see that there is still those factions at work in MO.

Can't drive in or out wearing hoods, unless they have dedicated drivers. Excellent time to get pics of their noggins before they put their hoods on. Also, has the SPLC been made aware of this event yet?

Be safe.

Yes I am taking a risk I will get pictures if it happens like last time. I figure the State officials do not give a shit after all the announcement was made by City Hall. They might if these assholes hurt someone.
