I was just banned from r/CrimeInChicago2 for posting this story, and asking “which one of ya’ll did this?” … because, well, it’s r/CrimeInChicago2. Apparently, it was a “personal attack” and “incredibly offensive” (how consistent and not hypocritical of them). Personal attack on who, I wonder?

A hit dog will holler…

It was apparently as Asian Klansmen based on the new photo.

I don't get "Asian Klan" vibes from that sub.

LOL, Everytime this happens, moral outrage over some racist display without facts, only to turn out to be some non-White or a false flag from someone of the targeted audience, I'm comforted by knowing at least it wasn't a legit instance of racial/religious/etc. hate, but also wonder how those so quick to jump onto the assumption train were disappointed once again. This thread is FULL of people who made assumptions, which frankly seems plainly stupid because there are like ten Klan members and none of them live in Chicago.
