The WashPost reported that ‘The white man who wore a Ku Klux Klan hood to a grocery store in lieu of a mask in a disturbing stunt earlier this month will not face any criminal charges for his actions, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department announced Monday night.

The man, who has not been identified by police [that’s what the kkk mask is for & police honor that], was seen wearing the pointed white KKK hood with two holes for his eyes while shopping at a Vons grocery store in Santee, Calif., on May 2, the day after San Diego County ordered people to wear masks in public settings including grocery stores. Store employees asked the man repeatedly to remove the hood until he finally complied at checkout.

In interviews with sheriff’s investigators, the man “expressed frustration with the coronavirus and having people tell him what he can and cannot do,” the sheriff’s office said in its statement.

“He said that wearing the hood was not intended to be a racial statement,” the sheriff’s office said. “In summary, he said, ‘It was a mask and it was stupid.’”

Police faced immediate pressure from groups such as the local NAACP chapterto respond to the incident and launch a full investigation. But after consulting with the U.S. attorney’s office and the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, the sheriff’s department concluded there was “insufficient evidence” to bring criminal charges. Typically, cases involving hateful symbols or speech must involve some type of verbal threat to rise to the level of a crime. After speaking with witnesses, the sheriff’s office apparently found none in this case.

To explain its decision, the sheriff’s department cited a recent U.S. Supreme Court freedom of speech case, Matal v. Tam, in which the court ruled in favor of a band trying to trademark the name “The Slants” while federal trademark authorities claimed the language may be disparaging to people of Asian descent. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the opinion cited by the sheriff’s department, “Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.’”

Racism White Supremacy - psychopathic degeneracy. 2) "The local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth—a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people." -Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, MD.
