Violent KKK faction bears watching says DOJ study
The Justice Department calls Wilkinson's Invisible Empire the most violent Klan faction, with a commando camp near Cullman Alabama. Followers wear fatigues, bear arms and claim they prepare for a race war. Other groups like United Klans of America and Duke's NAWP are deemed less violent. The six month review, prepared for the new administration, notes no massive Klan resurgence and cites media influence for visibility.
