Well, one day back in the 30s, the KKK went to my grandma's home and questioned her about where he was. They had heard that he had left his wife and two babies for another woman, and they were going to tar and feather him.
She knew where he was, but lied to spare his life (she wasn't saved then).
True enough he was low down and all of his born days treated his family poorly, but who were they to extend the punishment?!
Anyway, I just have a REAL problem with the KKK...

Yes, me too!
Even with that attitude, they make me sick.... I can't stand it when others think they have a right to take the law into their own hands....and as terrible as it was to leave a wife and babies, it wasn't their place to take care of him.. So they were started to "take care of" all those who didn't live up to their expectations? Ugh!
