Arkansas Christmas parade features Confederate soldiers offering bullets to kids asking for candy

Christmas parade in the Ozark Mountain community of Springdale, Arkansas didn’t just have the customary Santa Claus.

According to the Kansas City Star, one of the floats at Saturday’s Christmas Parade of the Ozarks featured two men dressed as Confederate soldiers and flying the Confederate flag.

One of the two Confederates carried a rifle with him.

In video posted to Facebook, the two soldiers are asked to hand out candy, as is customary at Christmas parades.
