    Two purported Ku Klux Klan members allegedly terrorized a pro-LGBTQ rally in Kentucky, and one pulled a handgun on protesters — but law enforcement officers on the scene did not arrest them, according to local police documents obtained by Raw Story through an open records request.

    One of the men who pulled a KKK card from his wallet, identified in the police report as 44-year-old Kenneth W. Hutton, had recently worked for the city government in Corbin, Ky., a local official confirmed Thursday. “He quit about a month ago,” Corbin City Manager Marlon Sams told Raw Story on Thursday.

    The new information reveals how dangerous the June 3 rally had become and supports assertions by attendees that the dramatic scene in a small town with a history marked by racism and bigotry could have turned deadly. It also coincides with numerous protests nationwide by neo-Nazis, Proud Boys and other far-right groups against LGBTQ Americans and drag shows, as well as a rash of anti-trans rhetoric in right-wing media and legislative efforts to restrict the rights of trans people.

    The officers took the men’s guns and emptied the bullets from their chambers. They then returned the guns to the owners after escorting them to their vehicles.

    KKK Members in Kentucky Pull Gun on LGBTQ+ Activists — Police Let Them Go


    Not surprised that the police let these KKK members go free, and not surprised that one of the KKK members recently held a position in the city government.

    The link is behind a paywall. Did it really say the police officers are KKK?

    Your hate for whites is alarming. You must wake up every morning and type in white man bad.
    You’re a strange dude.

    I assume since my post regarding blacks was locked that this post will also be locked rivergator? The post is blatantly anti-white and is insinuating that all whites are KKK and racists.

    Link updated. The men carrying guns were proud card-carrying KKK members, I just assumed the police were too since they let them off the hook so easily.

    The men in this story were proud, card-carrying (literally) KKK members. I didn’t need to insinuate anything, they admitted it.

    Your constant need to put a cape on and rush to the defense of deplorable people is pretty strange (but not surprising) too.

    Believe it or not, criticizing the KKK is not a criticism of all whites.

    Saw a guy yesterday with one of those bright blue coconut bowl cuts and otherwise his appearance and manner was effeminate. I probably stared for a few seconds. If I don’t post for several days, they’ve probably come for me for an attack on LGBTQ.

    The thread topic is about two KKK members drawing a weapon on an unarmed person and somehow being let go by police without getting arrested. Care to comment?

    I would argue criticizing black students who are overtly violent against white students (which is happening in schools more and more often) was not a criticism against all blacks.

    Agreed. In addition, all cops in Kentucky are not KKK members.

    This thread is about two KKK members. Your thread went well beyond one or two black people.

    I did comment. This pattern of yours to vilify and castigate the white American man is more revealing about you than you realize.
    I hope your are feeling ok.

    I anticipate virtually no one opened this thread thinking that. He posted a link with video about a specific group threatening a rally of people. And the police response.

    How does starting a thread about a couple of KKK members vilify the white American man? Why are you so defensive?

    You have bad anticipation and possibly don’t dance well then.
    This OP is regularly posting anti-white, anti-cop articles.
    It’s his thing. But it says a lot about the hate he holds in his heart.
    Probably got that ass beat down by white frat dudes…many times.

    I get it, you don’t see patterns well.
    You wouldn’t get it.
    This is another non story. Have at it.
