![KKK Grand Wizard the Snowman]()
As the holiday season approaches, I remember singing Christmas carols as a child. "Grand Wizard the Snowman was a very jolly soul!" La, La, Laaaaa.....
Wait, you didn't sing about the Grand Wizard when you were kids? Well then, you must not be from Hayden, Idaho. Because the folks in Hayden keeps it REAL.
Apparently, one resident from Hayden, Idaho has decided to show his holiday spirit by creating a Ku Klux Klansman out of snow, complete with a pointy hat, dark eyes and noose. That's so Christmas-sy!!
A self-proclaimed white separatist showed his a** drew complaints from neighbors and received a visit from law enforcement officers after erecting Grand Wizard the Snowman this week.
Markus Eliseuson was told by the police that he could be charged with a crime because the snowman was holding a noose. Deputies were reportedly called by neighbors who were appalled by the pointy-headed snowman with two dark eyes.
It is unclear whether Eliseuson is a member but he has earned notoriety in recent years for being near the former compound of the
Aryan Nation. Wow, they have a compound? I thought they only existed as a dramatic foil in TV shows?
Eliseuson could have been charged with creating a public nuisance. Idaho law defines a public nuisance as anything the community deemed "offensive to the senses" or that interferes with the comfort of an entire neighborhood.
The noose has since been removed. Which is sad! What's a KKK snowman without the noose? How can you celebrate Christmas without the symbol representing the lynching of black people in front of your home??? I know I can't.
So, as you enjoy your holiday season, think about that poor lonely Grand Wizard without his noose and remember those who are less fortunate this year. What has become of America when Grand Wizard the Snowman can't have his noose? Too much government intrusion, I'd say. Keep the government out of my snow!
Personally, I am going to stay off
Twitter until the KKK Snowman's noose is returned.
Merry Christmas!
