Ford received the package by special delivery Friday.
"Special delivery"?? Who uses that term anymore?? What decade is he living in?? The only way one would see a reference to receiving a letter by "special delivery" would be by watching re-runs of 1930's movies, or maybe 1960's TV shows. I am not an expert, but I don't think you have been able to send or receive mail via "special delivery" for a LONG time. If he actually used the term "special delivery", he sounds like he is being overly-dramatic, and makes me wonder if this whole incident is fabricated. Otherwise, it was used by the idiotic journalist who wrote the story, who should know better.

Edmond Ford was the one that got caught in the FBI sting accepting bribes. He’s been howling racism and entrapment vehemently ever since.

What would be the crime; money laundering? When you are a Democrat and an elected offical does there have to be a crime for them to demand an investigation?
You can bet that had it been anyone besides his son they would have been charged with trespassing and littering at the very least.

So it is against the law to mail someone a KKK robe? A hate crime?

What did the esteemed Council member do to warrant a KKK robe?
Edmond Ford was the one that got caught in the FBI sting accepting bribes.
Nope
John Ford is the former State Senator (from Memphis) caught by the FBI in the TN Waltz sting.
Edmund Ford is the Memphis City Councilman who ran up $16,000 in unpaid electrical bills (without having his power shut off). This was after Edmund lobbied heavily for Joseph Lee III to run the Utility company. Later, when the Council was voting on removing Lee, Edmund accused them of being like the KKK. That's what was behind the robe.
Both Fords are in the same corrupt family that sent Ophelia to Nashville using dead voters, and almost inflicted Harold Ford on the US Senate.
Here are a couple of recent threads:

Maybe he meant it was sent “speedy delivery” by Mr. McFeely from the Mr. Rogers show.

I noticed that this article did NOT mention that edmund ford called the chairman of the council a RACIST, that he edmund did NOT have a racist bone in his body...and was the first to mention the KKK in his triade against ousting the imcompentent joe lee, ceo of MLG & W...a king willie puppet.
Nor that he edmund was the receiver of favorable treatment on his electric bill...for several years...being allowed to rack up nearly a $20,000 bill for his several businesses...that because of this conflict of interest he should NOT have been in on the session concerning this issue.
