The KKK issues plea for members to kill gay people
The Ku Klux Klan is taking aim at the LGBT community ā who they believe should be killed in order to end the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Leaders from the Louisiana chapter of the group have distributed fliers urging people to join their group and slaughter gay people in an effort to āsave our land, join the Klan, white power.ā
āStop Aids: Support Gay Bashing,ā one of the flyers read. āHomosexual men and their sexual acts are disgusting and inhuman.ā
āOur race is our nation,ā reads another.
The fliers are signed āLoyal White Knights of the KKKā and include a website address and phone number to call for those interested in joining the genocide.
WSBTV reports the Newton County Sheriff Office has launched an investigation, following several complaints by residents who found the flyers placed on their driveways and lawns.
Bessemer Deputy Police Chief Mike Roper told AL.com the flyers were āvery offensiveā.

āI mean, I guess itās kind of repulsive, you know,ā Louisiana resident Patrick Sarver told WWL-TV.
āI mean, I donāt discriminate against any group and I donāt feel like anyone around here should be discriminated against either.ā
Another woman who asked not to be identified told the news station that she is āextremely hurt byā the fliers.
āAs a member of the gay community,ā she said, āI think it shows the ignorance of society still.ā
The FBI said it is investigating the issue.
