<p>I hope that this doesn’t mean the KKK is on the rise. Bad economies tend to create fertile ground for growth of hate groups.</p>

<p>"(CNN) – Eight people were arrested Tuesday, one on a charge of murder, in connection with the fatal shooting of a woman at a remote Louisiana campsite during what police say was an initiation ceremony for the Ku Klux Klan.</p>

<p>The woman, whose identity has not been confirmed, was recruited over the Internet to join the Klan by the suspects, said Capt. George Bonnett of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office…</p>

<p>Bonnett said he has not seen any Klan activity in the area in three years he has worked there. According to the Southern Povery Law Center, there were seven active Klan organizations in Louisiana in 2007, the last time the civil rights law firm tracked hate groups."

<p>I’m always amazed that there are such ignorant people out there who still participate in such heinous activities like the KKK. Shooting a prospective member sure doesn’t appear to be the best way to build your membership, but on the plus side, there’s one less KKK member. Did I say that? Why, yes, I guess I did.</p>

<p>I’d gladly let them kill each other off.</p>

<p>Apparently the victim changed her mind about joining at the last minute. I’ve got to ask, ‘what didn’t she already know about the KKK?’</p>

<p>This was not some rural area of Louisiana, either. I looked it up on the map and that parish (county) includes the northern suburbs of New Orleans.</p>

<p>Well, not really. St. Tammany Parish and Washington Parish are still what I would consider very rural in many parts. Sun, La. in particular looks like it is seriously out in the sticks. What a bunch of idiots. </p>

<p>

<p>Sociopathic morons with weapons. What a great mix.</p>

<p>^^ So true! It is so sickening to know that such people are still around.</p>

<p>I know and it is sickening but scary too</p>
