O'FALLON, Ill. — A 28-year-old African-American man has been indicted for sending threats signed from the KKK to officials in the southern Illinois community of O'Fallon.
A federal grand jury has indicted Justin Lamar Kidd, formerly of O'Fallon, on two counts of maliciously conveying a false threat, said Stephen Wigginton, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Illinois.

Officials claim Kidd is behind two November 2006 letters to the O'Fallon Police Department and City Hall. Both are signed "KKK warning."
The letter sent to the police department warns that an apartment complex would be burned down if "all the blacks" aren't removed.

"Get all the blacks out of O'Fallon before we start burning the(ir) houses down. KKK warning," said the letter sent to City Hall.
Kidd was arrested Wednesday and is being held in federal custody.

What is the point of this guy doing this unless it was to stir the pot and get something going .....

[The Straight Story]

1. Simple: He is a criminal, they lie, cheat. steal. try to cover their tracks

Kind of like with guns. People get all worked up over conceal/carry, the guy who is gonna rob/shoot some other people probably won't think twice about hiding his gun on the way to the crime.

Not a bad plan to ban the KKK, no one likes or trusts them - and they do have some criminal types in their org.

If it was a white person (non-kkk member) what would be their motivation?

2. Sounds like mental illness. I imagine he has an obsession with the KKK

because they hate anyone of color. You show me a racist and I'll show you a republican.

3. Little harsh ey?

I guess no black Democrats hate white people ? No white Democrats hate muslims ? Dude, racism knows no bounds.... be it skin color, culture, or political affiliation. Your comment is close to proving that.

And no, I am not a white republican.

He adds, "It's a shame that in a small city like Lake Wales where most everyone knows one another you have this kind of muckraking and character assassination."
In this small town of a little more than 13,000 people, times have changed since the Jim Crow laws of segregation and Rogers isn't apologizing or renouncing his time with the Klan.

He says, "Well I resigned years ago, about 30 years ago. Jesus said, 'He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone,' and so far no one's hit me with a rock. I don't know of any act of any violence that was sanctioned by our organization, either national or in Florida."
But Darryl Paulson, a USF professor, who is an expert in the Klan, points to a case in which two Klansman with the United Klans of America were convicted of attacking 19-year-old Michael Donald in 1981 in Mobile, Alabama. Donald was beaten up and his throat was cut.
Paulson says, "They hung him from a tree and they were sued in court and the civil judgment was launched against the United Klans of America. The jury awarded a six million dollar settlement to the mother of the slain child."

He adds, "When Rogers says he resigned. He had no other choice. The United Klans couldn't pay off the six million dollar settlement but they lost their headquarters. Their headquarters was sold as part of the judgement so in essence they were forced out of business. They were financially bankrupt."
Voters will make the final decision when they cast their votes in the non-partisan mayoral race on April 5. Though party affiliation is not a factor in the race Rogers and Carter are both Democrats.
