The KKK must be alive and well in Kentucky

I guess many of you know I am an electrical contractor. Our next project is a Masjid in a near by town. The customer is a well respected heart doctor who just happens to be a Muslim. He is a very nice man and has embraced the American way of life.

We have built many medical offices for him in the past and he is fast becoming a commercial real estate investor as well as a heart specialist.

Anyway, the pipe fitters found a small gold plated coin in a presentation case on top of their pipes on the job site which is just in the foundation and slab stage. It was a KKK coin.

Now most of us contractors look at this as just another building. It would seem that the KKK wants to intimidate us. Personally, I believe in religious freedom and this doctor has every right to a house of worship just like the rest of us.

I would bet that if this KKK member had a heart attack he would be happy to let the Doc fix his heart and save his life. I guess he does not think the good Doc has the right to a place of worship.

This could get interesting, because construction workers are not easily intimidated.

The last time the klan showed it's face near here was back in the 60's and our citizens ran them out of town. The Klan had guns, but so did the town folks. There was more of us than there was of them.

This is sad news. I wish you the best in this confrontation, Rick. If worse comes to worse, I'm confident you will prevail.

I'm just bummed out. I thought society had progressed past this point of ignorance.

Yeah, it's a bummer. Is there any way you can find out exactly what you're up against in this case? Their numbers. Resources. That sort of thing?

Yeah, there is a huge cluster of them in that part of the country. They have their largest rallys just north of there in Indiana. They are getting sneakier these days, and are trying to infiltrate key positions in local government.

At the price of gold today, they gave you free gold as a token of hostility? These guys must have money to burn! That's not a good sign...

That's sad. Like you, I like to think this type of thought is long gone, but I guess it's not.

Kudos to you for standing up for this man's rights.

Uch, Rick, that just sucks. I am sorry to hear that you've had to be exposed to such hate. What slimeballs.

Just be careful, sir. Good not to let the bastids intimidate you, but also good to stay safe.

I dunno, Rick. Does the situation dictate that someone MUST have left that coin there on purpose?

Gold is rising in value. I don't see someone just leaving one of those things laying around.

If you think that it's solid gold, then I have some oceanfront Revoltingistanian property for sale just for you!

A cleaning company working for me found a KKK knife in one of the units they were turning over.
The owner was thrilled to find & keep it. His family (also black) didn't find it so hilarious.
We'd joke that he became a prospective member because of their affirmative outreach program.

Lets just say I'm watching my back and all of us workers are watching each others back. I mean, what are we to do, pack up and leave the job site?

The building will have a sprinkler system and we may be able to have cameras on another building close by to monitor any wrong doing.

Safety is an illusion however. No one is safe from a misguided person.
