Atlanta’s Piedmont Park is closed this morning as an investigation in underway after the body of a Black male was found HANGING from a tree near the park’s entrance.
Atlanta Police have issued a statement saying that the scene is “consistent with a suicide,” however social media is not letting this story slide that easy.

Well the State of Georgia’s Department of Transportation has said ‘NO’ and denied the groups attempts to participate in their ‘Adopt-A-Highway’ litter cleanup program.
The application was rejected in 2012 by Georgia’s DOT which claimed the 65-mph speed limit in the area exempted the stretch from the adoption program, but it also stated that the group’s “long-rooted history of civil disturbance would cause a significant public concern.”

A few months later, the KKK chapter filed a lawsuit and are now taking the issue to the Georgia Supreme Court in hopes that they can one day rock their white hooded gear and spread their message of hate while cleaning up Georgia’s highways.
Oddly enough, the Klan has the support of the ACLU in their quest.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is an organization historically built on hate, but that doesn’t mean the members of their exclusive group can’t have a rally on the steps of Georgia’s state capital building, which is located in the heart of downtown Atlanta.
For those of you unfamiliar with the KKK:
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), informally known as the Klan or the “Hooded Order”, is the name of three distinct past and present far-right organizations in the United States, which have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration, historically expressed through terrorism.
The rally was apparently held March 1, 2014 and a young man who calls himself “Stacey the CEO” caught a bit of it on video and posted it online.

Stacey and his friends were in amazement, being that they had never seen a real live Klan rally, and decided to watch (and record) peacefully from across the street. ‘Peacefully’ being the operative word.
Guess who the cops ask to leave?
Meet Raymond “Chuck” Foster, 44, the head of a Ku Klux Klan chapter from Bogalusa, Louisiana. Foster was booked into St. Tammany Parish jail in Covington, La. and charged with second-degree murder in the death of a woman on Monday after she tried to back out of a KKK initiation ritual. The woman had been lured from Oklahoma via the internet, to be initiated into the group, but had changed her mind:
The woman, whose identity was not released, was supposed to be initiated near the village of Sun, La. and then return to her home state to find other members for the white supremacist group, Strain said.
It wasn’t clear what rites awaited her at the campsite, but authorities believe the initiation had begun by the time the shooting happened. Strain said the group’s leader, Raymond “Chuck” Foster, 44, shot and killed her Sunday night after a fight broke out when she asked to be taken back to town.
Foster was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond. Capt. George Bonnett, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, said he doesn’t know if Foster has an attorney.
Seven others — five men and two women ages 20 to 30 — were charged with obstruction of justice and were held on $500,000 bond at the St. Tammany Parish jail. All eight of the suspects live in neighboring Washington Parish, but Bonnett said he couldn’t immediately identify their hometowns. (Source)
