Nope, you picked it, he wasn’t. The brother of the bride told me a bit about him, but there was one little detail he said he was going to tell me afterwards. Of course, the guy was more than happy enough to tell us all about it himself.
Context: As part of our introduction to the country we were being invited to shoot various firearms, and basically since nobody had enough private property for it outside Charlotte city limits, Mr KKK was kind enough to lend us his.
I remember as we were leaving somebody said “well, I’m just glad Jeff didn’t come.” I asked who Jeff was but you can guess the important detail. Fuck that, man. I generally take people as they come to me but I draw the line somewhere short of having anything to do with a guy like that. Imagine having friends who are friends with someone who would proudly shoot you dead if you went near their property.
I was not there in NC for long but that was one of a few incidents that gave me the impression of a general deafness to the racial disharmony that exists in the region.
