Picketers greeted the Ku Klux Klan with jeers and signs telling them to get out when they descended on the Missouri town of Lone Jack in 1996. Pushback against a public Klan meeting was not surprising but the folks behind this protest were. They weren’t from a civil rights or racial justice group. They were members of the Missouri 51st, a local, far-right, anti-government militia primarily made up of about a thousand rural, mostly white, members.
“It’s almost impossible to imagine a militia rallying against the Klan today,” says Robert Churchill, a University of Hartford historian who recounted the incident in his 2009 book on militia groups,
Professor Kehinde Andrews of Birmingham City University sneered that Churchill had not fought personally in the Second World War. I mean, was it Churchill out there fighting the war? he said.

The Patriot Ledger
RANDOLPH – Police Chief William Pace is calling it a career in April after 30 years with the Randolph Police Department and a decade as chief.
Pace is Randolph’s 10th police chief since the department opened in 1924.
“The last 10 years in policing have been very challenging and I am proud to say that the department made every effort to meet those challenges head-on,” Pace said in a statement. “One of the things I am most proud of is the declining crime rate in our community, which I credit to intelligence-based policing and an emphasis on community policing programs, officer wellness initiatives and opportunities for officers of this department to engage with the community in positive ways.”
