We'll get into the details below but in brief: tragic events like mass shootings, natural disasters and pandemics should never be used as inspiration for Halloween costumes. Making light of tragedies can remind others of trauma they've endured and that's no laughing matter. Neither is cultural appropriation — nationalities and subcultures you don't belong to aren't a costume; they're real ways of life that deserve respect.

From September 1923 there were two Ku Klux Klan organizations: the one founded by Simmons and led by Evans with its strength primarily in the southern United States, and a breakaway group led by Grand Dragon D. C. Stephenson based in Evansville, Indiana with its membership primarily in the midwestern United States. [109] At an 1867 meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, Klan members gathered to try to create a hierarchical organization with local chapters eventually reporting to a national headquarters. Since most of the Klan's members were veterans, they were used to such military hierarchy, but the Klan never operated under this centralized structure. Local chapters and bands were highly independent. Given the real-world impact of terrorism and the tragic events it has caused, many people find the idea of Lay, Shaun.

In Australia in the late 1990s, former One Nation member Peter Coleman established branches throughout the country, [340] [341] and circa 2012 the KKK has attempted to infiltrate other political parties such as Australia First. [342] Branches of the Klan have previously existed in New South Wales [342] and Victoria, [342] as well as allegedly in Queensland. [343] Unlike in the United States, the Australian branches did not require members to be Christian, but did require them to be white. [342] Congress launched an investigation into the KKK in early 1964, following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas. Davis, based in Dallas, resigned as Imperial Wizard of the Original Knights shortly after the Original Knights received a Congressional subpoena. The Original Knights became increasingly fractured in the immediate aftermath as many members were forced to testify before Congress. [263] The White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan formed in 1964 after splitting from the Original Knights. [264] According to an FBI report published in May 1965, the KKK was divided into 14 different organizations at the time with a total membership of approximately 9,000. [264] The FBI reported that Roy Davis's Original Knights was the largest faction and had about 1,500 members. Robert Shelton of Alabama was leading a faction of 400–600 members. [264] Congressional investigators found that by the end of 1965 most members of Original Knights organization joined Shelton's United Klans and the Original Knights of the KKK disbanded. Shelton's United Klan continued to absorb members from the competing factions and remained the largest Klan group unto the 1970s, peaking with an estimated 30,000 members and another 250,000 non-member supporters during the late 1960s.
