My personal favorite

Recently Peter Jennings had passed away fighting a losing battle with lung cancer. ABC talked about how he covered so many events to the violence in the Middle East, the Cold War, and September 11th. But the one thing I will always remember Peter Jennings doing is when he came to Milwaukee to cover a Klan Rally (and to see what a bunch of idiots they still are to this day); and he crossed paths with one of the many who came out to protest the Klan voicing their hate speech in our community. He met Mick Braddock (aka Iamthepoison), which I would think would be a pleasure in itself.

Re: Mick

What was that like? Scary? We actually have the Klan in Milwaukee? I thought all those people lived down south.

Re: Mick

Isn't it illegal for the Klan to exist?

Not that I know of; but when they engage in domestic terrorism that is when the Feds would intervene.(one would hope)
