Idaho White supremacist builds kkk snowman

[Streaky Haddock]

dude! I was only trying to make a wizard!

 

[MoNKeyYy]

10 Feet! That's a lot of work just to show off your douchiness.

Hey that's nothing, I once used a ladder to erect a 22 foot penis in my yard!

*someone whispers in ear* Fuck off! I'm not compensating for anything!

 

[Tartarga]

Wow, Idaho is the last place I expected to hear about this kind of crap from. As terrible as this is I can't help but be impressed by the 10 foot snowman.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I got to admit, that's a well made snowman... if you can get past the racist sentiments.

I have to agree, I wish I had the snow and the patience to build a 10 foot snowman. And I really don't see why the police were called when you could just go up and (politely) ask him to alter it to be, well... less racist.

If he refuses then do it yourself.

Or you could ignore it. It'll melt soon.

Or just throw snowballs at it. Eventually you'll knock the head off, especially if they had some iced mixed in.

I'd be out with one of those powerful laser pens, I've always wanted to see if they can melt snow as efficiently as they pop balloons. Hide in a hedge, and wait 'till the head mysteriously slides off the shoulders.

Ooh, good one. And they're really long range, so you could do it from hiding!

Neighbors have been enraged before by Eliseuson, according to AP and KXLY reports. On Halloween, he passed out bullet casings after he said he ran out of candy.

I know that's supposed to make him sound even worse, but that makes me wonder how many little boys' eyes lit up that night.

I live in Idaho, and I've raised the issue before about my being ethnically mixed, so I won't go into that. To anyone that thinks this is isolated, you're clearly not from around here. People like him are all over this state, and they're not exactly closeted about their feelings. It's not funny, especially since people like him have prevented people like myself from being employed, attending school, or participating in local church activities. It isn't something people talk much about, but it's here, in force, and it has been for decades. It's not trivial, and it will never go away around here.

Racism isn't funny, it ruins lives.

Then move next-door to us here in Washington, because there's no need to wallow in that filth. We're pretty cool with racial issues, or at least on the west side of the Cascades where I am. Too bad the cost of living is higher than it should be.

This attitude bothers me. Why do you think some places turn into such hellholes in the first place? Because all the decent people got fed up and left rather than try to fix the problem. As annoying as people like this is, the more isolated they are from each other, the better.

I mean, it's bad enough they have the Internet...

 

[Sacman]

Once again people are only only complaining because they have to explain it to their kids...

This is America God Damnit, we should be able to build anything on our property we damn well please... I don't care if the guy is a racist bastard, that's just how things work...<.<

"Neighbors have been enraged before by Eliseuson, according to AP and KXLY reports. On Halloween, he passed out bullet casings after he said he ran out of candy."

Um.
What.

You've never gotten a bullet casing for Halloween?
OT:I have no sympathy for him. But that was a good snow man

My neighbors are boring, I get BBs.
Bullet casings are a huge step up, obviously.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Even though I believe in freedom of speech, I draw the line at racist sentiments.

Hell, give me a bunch of fireworks and a shovel and I bet I could blow up that thing real good...

 

[tthor]

Just because he's white, people all assume the snowman is a racist. How typical.

well, the snowman has a coneshaped head, and is holding a noose

fair point, but you can't change someone's opinion or belief in matters like these. Sticking around is only going to make your life more miserable. The best you could hope for is making anti-discrimination laws, but campaigning for those is just going to get more malice sent at you for obstructing their way of life. Best to leave them fester in their own rot and hope for an influx of good people that they can't discriminate against. Just get some white protestant Americans in there, and those rednecks won't be able to find a damn thing wrong with them when they start spreading tolerance messages.


Well, they probably will find something wrong with them, but they won't be able to ignore them on a fundamental level because by all means they consider themselves equal in every "important" way.

Reminds me of the time me and my mates built a 2.5 meter tall snow penis in a cemetery...

I apploude you. That is pretty epic.

 

[VanityGirl]

That is awesome. That Idaho guy just troll'd everyone.

But if he's being serious, for shame.

 

[RatRace123]

Frosty the snowman was a very racist prick
With a pointy hat and a swastika flag
He was kind of a dick.

 

[CaptainKoala]

All they do during those top secret KKK meetings is practice their snowman making.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Surely if you live next door, don't report it, just build a snowman wearing an I'm with stupid T shirt pointing to his snowman.

 

[Dastardly]

Gotta admit that the woman makes an interesting point:

"Blah blah blah, symbol of hatred, I had to explain it to my kids."

Did you, random idiotic woman? Did you, really? If it's so atrocious, why not just gloss over it and tell your kid not to worry about the damned thing? Yes, it's a symbol of hatred. But so what? Your kids ask, you tell them it's just a stupid ghost snowman. If you're that appalled, don't explain the shit in detail to your offspring.
