And actually, if I feel your intent is to stir trouble (and I do) then as the moderator of the AR forum I am compelled to comment on this thread and give any level of infraction warranted by your behavior. By reading your other posts in the Kansas forum you are an obvious agitator and feel some need to wage a vendetta againt people in your locale. I question your intent and integrity. You post these pictures here and state wrongly the location they depict, demonstrating you have NO knowledge of this area. Your OP is seemingly devoid of characterization but also lacks disclaimers. Your intent was obvious, paint an entire region you do not like in a very specific color. I do not believe in sugar coating history either which is why I have posted NUMEROUS times on the history of Harrison, which I actually know. I do my best to give the bad stuff right along with the good. How can you even pretend to be objective and tell us the story of these pictures (the good and the bad) if you yourself don't even know where they were taken? How many counter protestors were there if any? How many arrests were there if any? Who are these people? Are any of them locally important? A picture may tell a thousand words but without the set and setting they may tell a story that is counterproductive to building a truly equitable society.

You state that you do not collect this type of thing but yet you see fit to peddle it and profit from hate. Do you think you are doing some public good here? The best treatment that "memorabilia" should have gotten was a good burning.

His intent, I think is to sell photos! Just ban him Stormcrow!

You make many assumptions. First I did assume it was in Harrison. When people hold up signs that say PO box Harrison Arkansas KKK I don’t think that it was an assumption frivolously based. Another point, I never would destroy any item because it is based on hate. I collect ww2 collectables and the antique dealer said he could not put it out front. I know of a couple of collectors who have expanded their collecting to the American Nazi movement, and knew I could make a few $. I do not apologize for it. I saw in the book the link to cross burnings and on the back of the photo it said "cross burning in Harrison" When the people holding the sign that said KKK Harrison Arkansas I think it is a fair assumption to guess it was in Harrison or surrounding area. I do not recall car if it was in Harrison or not. I am sure they have had their share of rally’s and still do from people I know in the area. They are just not on the court house steps. They are between Harrison and Eureka Springs where the Confederate Battle flags fly like Tulips in Holland. You also create arguments based on straw man arguments. I never said there was no opposition to the rally or even commented on the rally. I said here are some photos from Harrison Arkansas. The only thing you can accuse me of is possibly making a wrong assumption of where the rally was held. Also you use the Ad Homonym attack, most likely for the purpose to distract from the photo you obviously are embarrassed of. By attacking the messenger instead of dealing with the message you distract form the information you do not want to be talked about. I suggest you lock this thread and let it die if that is your goal. You are keeping it alive by replying and attacking. If you truly do not want to keep talking about it quit posting. It ran almost to the 2 page and you brought it back up.

I live in Louisiana and once up on a time the KKK was big here now you should see who is big here and it's not the KKK. I hope to relocate to Harrison and know I will like it there.
