Oklahoma Mayor: Hubby's KKK Robe & Cross Burning Just A 'Prank Gone Bad'

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


After her husband was spotted burning a cross and wearing Ku Klux Klan garb on Halloween night, an Oklahoma mayor said the spectacle was simply a “prank gone bad.”

Cary Kent Sharp, 47, was among a group of men found dressed in white robes and hoods around a bonfire when a Lahoma, Okla. resident called police to report the incident at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday, the Enid News reported.

Lahoma mayor Theresa Sharp later apologized for her husband’s actions, telling the paper “it was a prank gone bad.” The mayor said she was out trick-or-treating with her son when the incident occurred, and does not condone the actions.

“I just don’t condone it regardless of who it is – whether that’s my husband or Joe Smith around the corner,” Theresa Sharp said. “It’s not anything that I think needs to be represented for our community at all.”

If you think wearing robes and hoods while burning crosses is harmless Halloween fun, you're a fucking racist. If you're defending people wearing robes and hoods burning crosses, you're a fucking racist. Jesus.

611 people love in Lahoma OK, 2010 census, so "Mayor" of KKKTown is honorary, I suppose. Fred Sanders Nov 2015 #9

That pulling his robe out of hiding and wearing it on Halloween would not get any attention? Whoops!
