And I don't believe for a minute that it's just "white pride" for these guys.

The eye holes were shredding, they looked like they were cut out with dull scissors.
I hope these are empty claims by these two people. People like this tend to exaggerate their own importance.
This TV station is complicit in this by allowing them airtime while hidden and shrouded. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Edit to add, here is another one from a few days ago. A drama in a trailer park.

Neighbor Outrage Prompts Man To Remove Klan Flag From Home
The man did not speak to CBS4s Brian Andrews but his wife Marla Curly, however, had plenty to say to Andrews, and to her mother who stopped by begging her daughter and son-in-law to end the neighborhood controversy.
Apologize to who? The Blacks and the Puerto Ricans? Just because he took the flag down doesnt mean he feels any different, Curly said to her mother. He still feels the way he feels.
Curly did say that the flag was down for good.
Im apologizing for him, Curly said.
Curly said that her husband, whom she calls Steven, put up the flag because hes a boob. She also said that flying the flag was ignorant and offensive and that the couple will be putting up a confederate flag because hes a rebel without a cause.

But the (klan) flag is down Wednesday night, soon to be replaced with a Confederate flag.
Now I'm confused ... Duers told me that the two flags were completely unrelated. Now, this guy seems to imply the confederate flag is an appropriate and satisfactory stand-in for the klan flag?!?

I want to see that neighbor lady yell at him again. Great clip.

Curly said that her husband, whom she calls Steven, put up the flag because hes a boob. She also said that flying the flag was ignorant and offensive and that the couple will be putting up a confederate flag because hes a rebel without a cause.
Let's see, he's a boob:
boob 1 |boōb| informal
noun
1 a foolish or stupid person
He did something 'ignorant and offensive.'
And he's a 'rebel without a cause.'
Nice that she knows what she's dealing with had enough to 'apologize' for what he did. For which I'm sure she'll never let him forget tshe had to go and clean up his mess. He'll never get out of the dog house.
When the Florida Obamacare Medicaid expansion is put through, I bet they have a doctor to look him over.
There are a lot of these 'rebel without a cause' types running around looking for a reason to think they are relevant.
