Several parents noticed the nearly 10-foot-tall snowman while driving their children to school on Wednesday, KXLY4 reported.
The snowman has a pointed KKK-style hood and an outstretched right hand with a noose in it. In addition to the snowman, the home also has an Aryan nations flag on display.
This is not the first time the homeowner, a self-described white separatist, has been the subject of a media report because of his actions. In October, KXLY4 reported that the homeowner passed out bullets on Halloween.
The homeowner later removed the noose from his snowman, after being visited by county sheriff's deputies and informed that he could face criminal charges for hanging a noose. The pointed hat of the snowman has also reportedly been knocked off.
Other incidents involving the Ku Klux Klan have occurred around the nation over the past few months.
Members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Supreme White Alliance rallied at Augusta State University after a student there was told her beliefs about homosexuality were "unethical and incompatible with the prevailing views of the counseling profession."
Based on her religious beliefs, Jennifer Keeton, who has no known affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan or any other hate group, considers intimacy between adults of the same gender to be sinful.
Keeton filed suit after the university threatened to expel her if she did not undergo a "re-education plan," claiming her First Amendment rights were being violated.
"We're trying to protest the constitutional rights that they are trying to take away from her," said a grand dragon with the KKK, Bobby Spurlock. "She has not contacted us, but we were contacted by someone that is aware of her."
At their rally, the dozens of protesters were confronted by nearly 300 counter-protesters from homosexual and civil rights organizations, The Augusta Chronicle reported.
"We had 200 people rallying against them, and they had eight people," said one counter protester. "They looked like idiots."
Hours after ending their protest, the Klan members held an initiation ceremony at a house in Warrenville, South Carolina. Later, the Klan members ceremonially burned a cross.
The protest at Augusta State University was not the only appearance the Klan made in Georgia this year.
Last month, members of Klan rallied on the steps of the Gilmer County courthouse in Ellijay and, earlier this year, another Klan rally took place in the town of Nahunta.
"Certainly in Nahunta and Ellijay, although there were 40 robed Klansmen -- and that's a significant number when you think about it today -- there were probably 300 to 500 spectators," Bill Nigut, Southeast director of the Anti-Defamation League, told WXIA. "And in Nahunta and Ellijay both, there were many people nodding in agreement, supportive."
"They continue to be anti-Semitic and they continue to be racists," continues Nigut. "In an attempt to find a way to communicate with the mainstream communities, they take on issues they think the communities share in common with them."
On October 26th, the University of Wisconsin at Waukesha campus was vandalized with swastikas and the initials "KKK."
On October 20th, KAIT8 reported that a man in southeast Missouri decorated his yard by placing a Ku Klux Klan figure next to a black man hanging from a noose. The man, who said the display speaks for itself, later removed the "decorations" at the request of the county sheriff.
On October 8th, residents of a neighborhood in Indiana complained about finding Ku Klux Klan fliers in front of their homes.
"Martinsville, over the years, has kind of gotten rid of that reputation that we used to have down here," one resident told 6News. "You get tired of all the junk mail, and I would consider that true junk mail."

In fact when I was younger I used racism to cover my real secret. I even got in trouble for it, my friend was expelled for it.
So I know what they really mean when they say certain things, you are fooling no one because I know your game.

nah mate, I doubt the aclu gives two shits about me. Maybe I'm an exception nowadays, but I was raised around holocaust survivors and the idea that real, diehard racists and xenophobes (not just the disapproving neighborhood association variety) are a direct threat to me and mine and that if I don't confront them, noone else will. I'm aware that there are many on every step of the ideological ladder who find themselves there more by self styling than by conviction (I can point out some real good examples of chicken hawk neocons who would have everyone but themselves lined up on our borders), but all I want to point out is that you ought to have a similarly balanced outlook. REAL, committed leftist anti-racists, like REAL reactionary racists, are a serious bunch, despite their unflattering portrayal by mainstream media establishments who want to lump them in with some of these admittedly annoying capital L Liberals.

they are legit questions based on the premise that a noose being illegal is the reason hanging sarah should be punishable.if so, was it a real noose with a fake sarah, or a fake noose with a fake sarah?
the noose law in question is it a local law, or a federal one.im not a fan of making nooses so i dont delve into that area of legal concerns.if it is a local law, did that law exist were sarah was hung?

the name calling was a direct response to the base level you brought our discussion to name calling, in calling me an ass.i was just playing around in the arena you took it too.i asked legit sunstative questions, and you defered to name calling as a response.so im just playing along, and rather nicely i might add.
im only insinuating you have VD based on the premise that the mall gave it to ya.being as one cant fuck the mall, it would be the very defenition of foolish to see my comment as an insinuation, wouldnt it?
unless you can fuck the mall, and its just a fetish that has alluded me?what does giving away crack have to do with vd?
are drug dealers more prone to contracting vd as a matter of thier profession?
does the exchange of viles of crack cause one to catch an std?
or is it giving anything away for free that results in std's?im just playing with your silliness.
