Sheriff's Department investigating after man wears KKK hood while grocery shopping in Santee

SANTEE — A man wore a Ku Klux Klan hood while grocery shopping in a Vons in Santee over the weekend, igniting outrage from elected leaders, the head of the Anit-Defamation League in San Diego and others.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department on Monday said detectives were “looking into the matter and will pursue any appropriate criminal charges.”

“The Sheriff’s Department does not condone hate or any acts of intolerance in our communities,” the department said in a statement in response to Saturday’s incident. “We are a county that is welcoming of people from all backgrounds.”

Photos shared on social media show the man pushing a cart in the store’s produce area and holding a plastic produce bag while wearing the white hood. At least one photo shows the man, who appears to be white and middle-aged, standing behind the cart without a hood.

1. This is really unfair...

...clearly his intent was to find a way to carry bagels when his hands were full.

3. Just wondering

If these arseholes are being identified on social media. Like the cow in MI that was hanging out of her car window haranguing the medical personnel that were standing up for their peers. Also the idiot that was spewing his nastiness on the police officer in the MI statehouse. And this KKK loving jackass. While I’m not usually a fan of doxxing, the public needs to know who these horrid people are so we can stay far away from them. It could mean life or death.

4. "Have You Seen This Man?" He should be easy to find...

...especially if he used a credit card or check when he paid.

5. He Looks Like A Real Winner....

I know they say to never judge a book by it's cover, but I'll make an exception here.

8. The Store Is Irresponsible For Not Kicking Him Out

He took off the hood while in the checkout line, after having been given several chances to do so. Then they allowed him to purchase grocery items.

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT IMMEDIATELY, NOT ASKED TO KINDLY REMOVE THE HOOD.

I'd have left my cart and walked out of the store had I seen that.

9. Social distancing was probably not a problem

People must have been avoiding him like the plague.
