Group: Murder suspect has long history with Klan
COVINGTON, Louisiana (CNN)—The suspect in the shooting of a woman killed during a Ku Klux Klan initiation has at least a seven-year history of Klan activity, according to an organization that tracks hate groups nationwide.
Relatives describe Cynthia Lynch as having a deep need to feel wanted and eager to join groups.Raymond “Chuck” Foster, 44, was the founding Imperial Wizard, or national leader, of the Southern White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a Klan faction formed January 1, 2001, in Watson, Louisiana, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“During the next three years, the group developed chapters in three other states while maintaining a low profile,” the Montgomery, Alabama-based center said on its Web site.
By 2004, the Southern White Knights had chapters in Savannah, Georgia; Homosassa Springs, Florida; and Marion, Ohio. Its founding chapter relocated to Denham Springs, Louisiana. The group disbanded in early 2005, the center said.
Foster faces second-degree murder charges in the death of Cynthia Lynch, 43, of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I was not surprised that this story was not posted in the blog. You would rathr spend time demonizing Obama. Seems someone determined that conservatives did not need to air their dirty laundry. How much you want to bet this guy called himself a patriotic Christian American?
