OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A black school bus driver filed a complaint with authorities after seeing two children dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes and carrying a cross at one of her stops.

Claudette Johnson told the Marion County Sheriff's Office that she spotted the pair Wednesday among a group of students waiting for the bus. Johnson made eye contact with the two as the other students boarded her bus, but said the robed students did not speak.

The children in robes then crossed the street and handed the cross to another child, who dragged the cross away, the complaint said. They stood between 5 and 5 1/2 feet tall and weighed about 100 pounds, according to Johnson.

Johnson, a 23-year employee of the Marion County school system, said she had also seen a child wearing a KKK outfit at the same bus stop about two weeks ago. Her route serves students attending summer camp at a school.

``I don't think this is funny,'' she said. ``I'm an employee for the public school system. I shouldn't have to deal with this.''

A detective is following the case and had identified one suspect, said Lt. Butch Gallion. To take further action, Gallion said authorities would have to prove the suspects intended to harass or intimidate Johnson.

Gallion said the bus stop incidents were the only Klan-related episodes to be reported to his office.

Tom Patrick, executive director of support services for the school system, said the district would try to identify the children and contact their parents if the hooded figures appeared again.

``Hopefully, it's just an isolated incident,'' he said. ``I don't like to give credence to something like that, because if it did happen, you know these kids didn't learn it on their own.''

oOo: annoy:

Un-fucking-believeable. annoy:

only in america

even assholes have freedom of speech

it was a joke, they didnt say anything or do anything...and the look on the bus drivers face when she saw them was probably priceless. this is only like 30 minutes from where i live.

lol a joke, thats like going up to an african american and saying hey f u n*****
and then saying, oh i was just kidding...

if i were the bus driver i woulda ran right over those little fuckers

[quote="Sgt>Stackem":f5ce9]even assholes have freedom of speech[/quote:f5ce9]

in theory they dont...if they promote fascist ideals they are not expressing freedom of speech becaues in a fascist state the only freedom people have are obedience to the state. rational thought is replaced by irrational thought and all allegiance is to the nation.

I am sorry but I find that funny lmao.

oOo:

I could see how homosexuals could find that funny

Did they really have to say anything? They were dressed up as fucking KKK members! What the hell could they have done? a couple of 5 foot kids jump a bus driver? That's one fucking sick joke if you ask me!

Bet you the parents dont even give a shit because they're members of the KKK as well. Isnt that reason enough to have the state take your kids away?

I can't imagine living my daily life with such innate, brewing hatred in my heart 24/7.

It must be very stressful. Lighten the fuck up and let people live their lives.

Technically they didn't do anything wrong, correct? Stupid freedom of speech...

[quote=Fireal]Well, its just a suit. Suit people impose as racisismsmsm[/quote:e46a3]but how is that racism when they have big KKK meetings infront of City Halls with loudspeakers and such while being guarded by the poe poe?

I dont really care. We dont have KKK meetings here

rofl, then they blew they gay guys head off when they found out he was black

I wish people would but not in the world we live in.

[quote="TGB!":d0b37]Freedom of Speech doesnt apply when you're using it to intimidate or terrorize.[/quote:d0b37]

they didnt say anything or attempt to intimidate anyone. it was a joke. it would have been diferent if they would have been carrying nuces burning a cross and threatening to lynch the lady, but they didnt. they just sat there, i bet the other kids on the bus were cracking up.

the suit in and of itself is intimidating, there are some things you just don't do as a self-respecting human being, wearing a klan outfit as a joke is one

funniest episode ever!

Im glad you think intimidating/frightening a middle-aged woman is hilarious. If it was so "harmless" why havent the no doubt fearless kids come forward and taken credit for their "harmless misunderstood joke".

If I was a busdriver, and 2 kids tried to come onto my bus wearing kkk uniforms, I would say, get the hell off my bus, and let them walk to school. Behavior like this isnt a joke, and it should be taken seriously, not brushed aside. And BTW, Im not even black.

Shut the fuck up. I sick of you mother fuckers turning everything into an America-bashing session.

Go make a Canadians Against Americans forum and circle-jerk over moose dicks all day so I don't have to hear your fat ass spewing bullshit anymore.

So dressing in KKK gear and scaring the shit out of people is freedom of speech, but when someone says this can "only happne in America" they get jumped for it? oOo:

I don't know how anyone can defend those kids unless they think what the kids did was okay.

I wasn't defending the kids at all, I just think it's fucking ridiculous to throw out some pot-shot at a country based on the actions of some uneducated rednecks who refuse to acknowledge that it isn't 1950 anymore.

That's like me posting, "Only in Canada..." after a police officer who was smoking weed on duty watched a woman raped and beaten to death in Saskatchewan. (sp?).

rofl.

and yeah, you spelled "Saskatchewan" correctly.

Just out of curiosity, is the Klan any where else in the world..?
could this be one time when that annoying "only in America"
phrase is actually a statement of fact..?...educate me.

as an american i would like to say yes this probably happens only in america

I know that the KKK used to have chapters in Canada back in the day when they had millions of members. I doubt there are any right now though.

I am sure canada has a few come on hate is not just an american thing. Can we say nazi germany any one.

we have nazis that live in canada, just about a month ago or so some nazi kids went around spraypainting swastikas on jewish garage doors then they hit the cemetaries and painted swastikas on jewish headstones
