KKK confrontation in Mount Victory, Ohio

Post by Mindbender14 »

MOUNT VICTORY — A potentially explosive situation was handled quickly by Hardin County deputies Saturday evening in Mount Victory.
Sheriff Keith Everhart said several 9-1-1 calls were received from residents of the village when members of the Klu Klux Klan, some dressed in full regalia, marched through the town.

The Klan members met in a parking lot on the south side of the village before marching on the sidewalks on North Main Street. The Klan didn’t notify the sheriff’s office in advance it would be walking as a group through the community, said Everhart. Such demonstrations do not require contacting law authorities, said the sheriff.
“But it would be the smart thing for them to do for their own safety,” he said.

Deputies were dispatched to Mount Victory and arrived on the scene shortly after a group of community members asked the group to take its message elsewhere.
Witnesses said when the Klan members were asked to leave Mount Victory, one member, later identified as Kevin Gibbs of Hamilton, stood behind a female member of the group, pulled a pistol and pointed it to the ground. Witnesses heard Gibbs say, “I will kill you” to a black member of the citizens’ group.
“Verbal sparring ensued,” said Everhart.

Deputies quickly separated the two factions and took statements from witnesses and those involved. Klan members said they came to Mount Victory to “put out some fires.” Some denied being involved with the KKK despite wearing robes and jackets with the organization’s insignia on them.

Since Gibbs didn’t point the gun at the community member, said Everhart, he was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing, a misdemeanor. He was legally carrying the weapon, said the sheriff. Gibbs was cited and released.

“I want to applaud the deputies for their response to a potentially volatile situation,” said Everhart. “They diffused the situation rapidly and professionally. Had they not responded as they did, things could have gotten out of hand quickly.”
