[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 husbands 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 dont condone it regardless of who it is whether thats my husband or Joe Smith around the corner, Theresa Sharp said. Its 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.

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