Update: WRAL has now changed the picture accompanying the story to a shot of the same graffiti, but from an angle that makes it harder to see. Wonder why they would do that?
Notice now it is much easier to imagine whatever symbol you want to be there.
They've also added a video, which curiously never quite captures a "racial slur." Obviously due to some inherent flaw in the camera equipment they were unable to get it all in the frame. The best they could do was pan on what appeared to be "fuckin" spraypainted on the street. Odd, that.
Despite the newscasters promise at the beginning of the video that "homes, mailboxes, streets (were) all covered with racial slurs," none appear on camera. I guess the crew was camera shy that day.
This is Jesse McKinney. He's standing in front of his house, which was vandalized with an unknown racist symbol. About a year ago, he found the following note in his mailbox...which he conveniently kept. "Clan" is misspelled on the note, but not in the news story.
It's quite a story.
