In the middle of the afternoon, someone burned a makeshift cross in the
major park in downtown Chicago. It wasn't planted in the dirt, just
leaning against the tree. Cops got there in time to photograph it
burning and saw a man who had run away.
This feels like not someone trying to resurrect the K.K.K. but a bit of
a hoax. Since it wasn't on the front lawn of a home or in front of a
church, I suppose lesser crimes would be charged, but nothing about >intimidation.
