Earlier this week, the British parody paper the Daily Squib published an article saying that the Klan was endorsing Barack Obama for 2012 just as they did in 2008. We suppose they thought lightning would strike twice, but curiously enough, the Klan leader they mention will gta san andreas not be around to vote in that election. That's because convicted felons cannot vote, and incarcerated felons especially so. Today a judge handed Imperial Klans of America leader Ron Edwards, convicted on drug charges, a sentence of four years, a guarentee gta san andreas that when Election Day 2012 comes, he will be sitting in a place many of the politicians that will be on ballots that day should be. This is the guy who would put on the annual Nordic Fest in Dawson Springs, gta san andreas Kentucky, but the fate of that event is uncertain, now that the IKA is in disarray. But a few years without that lousy music echoing through those hills, gta san andreas is a small price to pay for putting away such a huge scumbag. Hatewatch A federal judge this morning sentenced Ronald Wayne Edwards (seen at right during a deposition in 2007), former imperial wizard of the Kentucky-based Imperial Klans of America (IKA), to 48 months in prison, The Associated Press reported.
Edwards, who was charged with federal gun and drug violations, pleaded guilty gta san andreas in March. Along with his longtime girlfriend, Christina Gillette, who pleaded guilty on drug charges, he was accused trafficking methamphetamines and painkillers. Gillette will serve 12 months gta san andreas and one day in prison, the AP said.
Edwards got his start with the Klan in the early 1990s as head of the Kentucky klavern (or local unit) of the Arkansas-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan . That group, originally started gta san andreas by David Duke but since led by Thom Robb, tried to portray itself gta san andreas as a kinder, gentler gta san andreas Klan, seeking to adopt highways and follow other strategies meant to improve its image. But the group split in July 1994, when nine chapters departed to form the Federation of Klans over an accusation that Robb had absconded with funds raised through a telephone hotline and also a $20,000 gift that was allegedly meant for the group.
The Southern Poverty Law Center sued Edwards in 2008, contending that members of his Klan group attacked a 16-year-old U.S. citizen of Panamanian Indian descent on his father s side because they thought he was an illegal spic. Also named as a defendant was Jarred Hensley of Cincinnati, who served nearly three years in state prison for assaulting the teenager at a county fair in northwest Kentucky. A jury found Edwards liable for 20% of the $2.5 million they awarded the teen.
The gta san andreas Trayvon Martin Foundation was established by Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin in March, 2012 as a not-for-profit organization, under the auspices gta san andreas of the Miami Foundation. The Foundation s purpose is to create awareness of how violent crime impacts the families of the victims, and to provide support and advocacy for those families, in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin. gta san andreas The scope of the Foundation s mission is to advocate that crime victims and their families not be ignored in the discussions about violent crime, to increase public awareness gta san andreas of all forms of racial, ethnic and gender profiling, educate gta san andreas youth on conflict resolution techniques, and to reduce the incidences where confrontations between strangers turn deadly.
From a local newscast just after the verdict was handed down. This protest lasted three days and postponed a planned observation of the 22nd anniversary of the death of racist Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo, who is depicted in the statue.
