San Diego grocery shopper wears KKK hood as face covering
Dont know which angers me more - the person wearing this or the fact that no one in management @Vons Santee did anything about it. @ADL_SD would be happy to educate your team. San Diego is #NoPlaceForHate pic.twitter.com/jMOzQqpcoi

Before heading to a Vons grocery in Santee, California, this moron apparently grabbed whatever face covering was most convenient. Clerks reportedly asked the moron several times to remove his dunce cap and he finally did so at the checkout line. From the San Diego Union Tribune:
Read the restThe city has worked over the years to overcome a history of racially motivated attacks and skinhead activity that led to the nicknames Klantee and Santucky." [...]
So troublesome in so many ways this is still happening in Santee at Vons, resident Tiam Tellez wrote on Facebook, where he shared photos he took of the shopper. Disgusting![...]While some questioned why the man was not forced to leave the store, Tellez, [Santee Mayor John] Minto and others thanked the stores management team for stepping in.
Many thanks to all who stepped forward to curtail this sad reminder of intolerance, the mayor said. Santee, its leaders and I will not tolerate such behavior.
