No charges for man who displayed Klan flag next to Black neighbor's home

Prosecutor says horrible conduct' does not violate law but urges state to change legislation to protect citizens from such incidents

A prosecutor has declined to file charges against a man who displayed a Ku Klux Klan flag in his window in suburban Detroit, next to the home of a Black family.

Such horrible conduct" doesn't violate Michigan law, Wayne county prosecutor Kym Worthy said on Tuesday, adding that an ethnic intimidation charge would require physical contact, property damage or threats of such activity.
