Racist Snowman Angers Idaho Town

A resident of Hayden, Idaho has managed to anger his neighbors with an offensive snow sculpture. KXLY.com is reporting that a man, identified only as "Mark," has built a snowman adorned with accessories associated with the Ku Klux Klan. The obscene decoration sits in Mark's front yard and sports a pointed hat similar to those worn by the KKK. It also has a noose hanging from his outstretched hand. Neighbors say Mark has also been flying an Aryan Nations flag outside of his home. One resident says they're "appalled" that someone would want to quote, "threaten people in our community with their signs of hatred." Mark, however, says there's nothing wrong with his snowman. Two Kootenai County sheriff's deputies have since visited Mark's home, notifying him that it is illegal in Idaho to hang a noose.
