What a obnoxious racist little twit. If he'd been a white guy caught defacing posters of Martin Luther King on Martin Luther King/Robert E. Lee's birthday, he'd be out on bail right now.
Besides, despicable as they may be, even the KKK has freedom of expression in this country.

He trespassed on private property to vandalize and steal.
He could face criminal charges.
To: cowboyway
They should make him put the flags back on each grave, just as he found them. Maybe then he’ll think twice.

`Folks, this is his REAL official picture, I am not making this up! Looks like he shot a sofa and skinned it to make that coat.
To: MikeWUSAF
Looks like he fell down in some grease or oil just before the picture was taken.
Doncha hate when that happens?

This is someone whom was voted into his position. Him being the “idiot racist” can you imagine how mentally challenged and/or racist those who voted for him might be?
This is a perfect example of the mentality of a large cross section of voters - in case anyone is wondering how we came to be in our current state of affairs.

I read the article and I’m surprised that he doesn’t seem to be under arrest for theft........

He looks like a pimp was bad fashion taste.

Does he have the same designer as Michelle Obama?
His jacket reminds me of the furniture ad with the guy who is wearing an outrageously patterned suit, and ends up picking a couch that has the same pattern as his jacket.

Her committed the desecration of graves, that’s at least good for a criminal mischief charge.
