We had the KKK plan a rally in my community. We didn’t want to see the city pay out a ton of legal fees for a case they would surely lose. We let these twits have their little rally and.....ignored them.

The KKK holds a rally from the courthouse steps in a square in downtown Louisville, KY (near where I live) about every 4 years. I am glad to say they do not gain any strength from making themselves visible in that way from anyone around here.
The rally always makes the community somewhat tense until they go on their way.
My mother told me that Indiana is a stronghold for the KKK, and I have read that also. Does anyone know if that is true?
I recall (1978 I think it was) the KKK tried a demonstration and rally in our town. There were 4 or 5 of them that showed up on the "square", wearing the usual white robes and carrying Confederate battle flags. We didn't ignore them. White and black citizens pointed and laughed at them. They never came back.
Ridiculing them was very effective.
I don't know if it was the same Klan group that shot it out with the Communists and Black Panthers in Greensboro a few years later, but they do seem to be dying out.
