LAFAYETTE (AP) - One of five people accused of burning a cross to intimidate three black men in Beauregard Parish has pleaded guilty to a civil rights charge, U.S. Attorney Don Washington said.

Prosecutors said Berry Lynn Harris, 21, of Sulphur, and four fellow Ku Klux Klan members burned the cross to intimidate three black men who recently had moved to the Longville area from Mississippi to work at a nearby plant.

It is NOT joke when there is a fire in your front yard! Especially if you are black,in the South, and that fire is a cross!

This is a threat. I favor execution. But then again, I also favor execution for habitual criminality, rape, murder, armed robbery, and many other violent crimes.

I'm a firm believer in the theory that if a society has no criminals it will have no crime.

The KKK is a terroist organization, and should be treated as such. Although, to a slightly lesser degree, so is Rainbow Push (Jessie Jackass), and the DNC.

Wait, ok, maybe the DNC is on the same level as the KKK. Their tactics are very similar. Now that I think of it; maybe KKK is an amature organization compared to the DNC. I'm sure you'd get an earfull if you asked (and got an honest answer from) Clarance Thomas! At least the KKK has the decency to operate in the dead of night. The DNC doesn't seem to have that much shame.
