neighbors claim display of KKK flag because they can't afford curtains. Cops buy them curtains

[Demovictory9]

It was "horrible conduct," not criminal, and a prosecutor in Michigan is encouraging the state legislature to consider changing the law so that it would be considered criminal in the future. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy on Tuesday announced that her office was unable to charge a Grosse Pointe Park man who hung a Ku Klux Klan flag in a window that faced his Black neighbor's house.

After spotting the flag on Feb. 16, she alerted the Michigan attorney general's office and the FBI. Both said no action could be taken, so she turned to social media. Her posts went viral and spurred a march in her support, reports the Detroit Free Press. Local media called the city, and detectives visited the neighbor's home.

His girlfriend reportedly told them he couldn't afford curtains and put up the flag to cover the window, citing the security camera. Detectives returned to the home with new curtains and the flag came down.

"It's comical," Dinges said. "You can afford a Klan flag but you can't afford curtains? He does this awful thing and you give him a gift with my tax dollars."

1. THIS and it's not comical

"You can afford a Klan flag but you can't afford curtains? He does this awful thing and you give him a gift with my tax dollars."

3. He should keep the curtains, all he need is a little more decorating...

A few bricks through the windows, should do the trick!

2. How do they afford to live in Grosse Pointe Park if they

cannot afford curtains? Lame excuse from white supremacist.

6. That was my first thought, too

For people not familiar with the greater Detroit area: all the suburbs with "Gross Pointe" in the city name are wealthy. Here is a page with demographics.

4. He lives in Grosse Pointe Park and can't afford a curtain?

Ok maybe I'm generalizing too much. But I'm guessing he has plenty of money for a new truck and new guns. I'm probably wrong to view the Grosse Pointes as somewhat upscale.

5. Bed sheets?

I bet they had plenty of those, just take out the stitching for the neck and sew the eye holes shut and there you go. Curtains.

7. Thread winner.

I was trying to figure out what part of a sheet is called the neck and ... oh.

8. Here's how out of touch I am, I had no earthly idea there was such a thing as a KKK flag.

I'm kind of glad I didn't know.
