[quote=]HAYDEN, IDAHO—A white separatist drew complaints from neighbours and a visit from law enforcement officers after building a snowman shaped like a member of the Ku Klux Klan on his front lawn.
Kootenai County sheriff’s deputies told Mark Eliseuson Wednesday that he could be charged with a crime because the 3-metre-tall snowman was holding what appeared to be a noose. Deputies were called by neighbours who were appalled by the pointy-headed snowman with two dark eyes.
Hayden for decades earned notoriety for being near the former rural compound of the Aryan Nations.
Eliseuson could have been charged with creating a public nuisance. Idaho law defines such a nuisance as anything “offensive to the senses” or that interferes with the comfort of an entire neighbourhood. Eliseuson removed the noose and toppled the snowman after he talked with officers.
Eliseuson told KXLY-TV of Spokane that he sees nothing wrong with the snowman. But other people did.
“It’s such a message of hate,” said Amber Caldwell, who saw the snowman while visiting her cousin in the neighbourhood. “My kids asked me about it and I had to explain what that symbol means.”
Eliseuson has angered neighbours in the past by flying Aryan Nations flags at his home. At Halloween he passed out bullet casings after he said he ran out of candy.[/quote]

Looks like Frosty wants to have a white christmas.
That was a relatively good joke for the OP.
He should've planted Icicle-covered crosses on his black neighbor's lawn
It's just a ghost.

Shitty law.

Good thing I don't live in Idaho, or I could've had several lawsuits against me for letting one rip in the elevator

What ever happened to freedom of expression? It's not a hate crime or anything. Teach kids of what horrible people the KKK are, so they understand.

It seems like they are putting freedom of expression out in the cold in this particular case. I suppose the noose was what tipped the iceberg here.

I do it to gather the dumb ratings. Maybe. I guess I like skating on thin ice.
Trying to hard.

good, don't keep your kids in the dark about what happens in the world
No you see, it's really a statement about how racist ideals are slowly melting out of society.
Get it, 'cause snowmen melt

Ugly fat girls offend my senses.
I live in Idaho :(
The modern KKK is laughable and the destruction of this snowman under the pretense of moral righteousness would be a disgrace to all snowmen.
Is it bad that I'm not surprised this came from Idaho?
Best fucking joke in OP.
I'd have run up to that snowman and cut off the head with a bread-knife. (it's the biggest knife in my kitchen draw, and when swung hard enough I think it could cut through snow like a machete) Either that or i'd charge in wielding akimbo hairdryers (with a portable power source, of course).
It's a sick perversion of a holiday classic. May the next piece of misfortune that Mr Eliseuson encounters be amplified threefold...
I honestly find the KKK snowman quiet funny.
But I also have a disturbing sense of humor.
I would just knock it down.

Whats with calling every idiot a troll these days? Considering the other things he did and how he is described I doubt he does the things just to anger people without believing in it.
public noose-ance

Your profile doesn't say where you're from, but take it from me: That shit is gonna be so packed down, you're going to just lodge the knife in there.
For those who don't know what a bread knife looks like:

I don't think he's a troll, he seriously believes this shit.

There were no black people....
Someone should spread ash on it to turn it black
I suspect the OP is the man in the article, and did it so that he could have the best article-pun combo in a while
Only in America.
No really this time, considering the KKK is an (as far as I know) American organization and doesn't branch out into the other areas of the world.
