should be ignored publicly with no mention on news etc. Take it down throw it out. These dopes want publicity and attention. Give none.

Is that you want people to be on guard and have a warning. Imagine the lawsuit if they did not speak up, and the people who put up a cross killed someone. Now imagine you are the family of someone who is killed. Making this public could save lives.

These are the people let loose and patted on the head in TrumpWorld. Interesting, too, that this was displayed in Grant Park, named after President Ulysses Grant who went after the KKK with a vengeance. I suspect the locale was intentional.
The Civil War raises its ugly head. Again.
