Homeowners Outraged After Ku Klux Klan Members Leave ‘Get Out The Vote’ Fliers Across Alabama Town

Some Alabama homeowners are outraged after the Ku Klux Klan left fliers around their town. The hate group is trying to encourage people to go vote in the election and join the Klan.

Several people who live in St. Charles Place neighborhood of Madison tell KTLA sister station WHNT they found baggies full of rocks and paper in their driveway Sunday morning.

The message said in part, “Black Lives Matter Black Panthers are telling followers to kill white people and police officers.”

Many in the neighborhood said they were disgusted, but didn’t want to go on camera for fear of retaliation.

“This is pretty standard tactics for that particular Klan group. They’ve been fliering all over the sate. They were in Wichita last weekend. This is a pretty common practice for Loyal White Knights,” said Heidi Beirich with the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Beirich tracks hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery.

“It breaks my heart that people receive this kind of material, but unfortunately, this is the Klan using its First Amendment rights. So, they have every ability to do this.”

Beirich tells WHNT her agency doesn’t know of any violent situation involving the Klan.

There are eight Ku Klux Klan organizations in Alabama. the Southern Poverty Law Center estimates there are up to 6,000 Klan members nationwide.

Indiana Man Kills Girlfriend After She Declined to Marry Him

An Indiana man is facing a murder charge after allegedly admitting to killing his girlfriend after she declined his hand in marriage.

According to KTLA:

Jason Eaton, 43, walked into the Greensburg Police Department with a woman and asked to talk to an officer, according to KTLA sister station WXIN in Indianapolis. He told the officer that he had killed his girlfriend, later identified as Wendy Sabatini.

Officers were sent to their Greensburg home where Sabatini’s son, who thought his mother was at work, let them in. He had just arrived home from a school-related internship.

Sabatini’s body was found in a bedroom. Police said she died of an apparent gunshot wound to her head. A firearm was found in the bedroom.

Eaton was detained at the police station. He spoke with officers and said he approached her in the bedroom with an engagement ring to ask her to marry him, according to police.

She declined before he was able to ask, they said.

Eaton said he then retrieved the gun from a nightstand and shot her in the head from behind, according to police.

He eventually left the home and went to the home of the woman who accompanied him to the police department, authorities said. He allegedly told her he “messed up” and said he thought he killed Sabatini.

In addition to the murder charge, Eaton faces a firearm sentencing enhancement.

Sad and scary! Sounds like the girlfriend wasn’t going to make it alive either way with this guy. Had she married him, would she have eventually met with the same fate?

Georgia Postal Worker Caught On Video Dumping Mail In The Woods

Waiting for the mailman to bring you something? Well, you might be waiting awhile for it if you live in one Atlanta suburb.

According to KTLA:

A woman videotaped a US Postal Service worker earlier this week dumping bin after bin of mail in the woods behind her subdivision in Decatur, Georgia.

“I sat there and recorded for about 5 minutes. And he continued to just grab more mail and continued to just toss it over the fence,” Kellie Campbell told CNN affiliate WSB. Campbell said the man even took a short break to rest before finishing and driving off.

The postal service sent five investigators over to pick up the discarded mail Wednesday. It took them more than two hours to get it all out of the woods. The USPS has started an investigation. An investigation into the matter has already been started by the USPS.

‘Very disrespectful’

“The postal service condemns, in the strongest possible sense, behavior that jeopardizes the security and sanctity of the US mail or threatens to tarnish the reputation and high level of trust that the vast majority of our employees work so hard to uphold,” the USPS said in a statement to WSB.

The postal service says it thinks the man in the video is a part-time employee of the agency.

Residents, who say they’ve missed getting important pieces of mail in the past, were ticked off.

“That’s where my mail at, down in that hole down there in the woods,” resident Johnnie Lanier said. “I think that was very disrespectful.”

Will the residents ever get their mail? The postal service said it will be delivered to them as soon as possible.
