Los Angles attorney who wore a KKK hood adorned with a swastika to a meeting at Los Angeles City Hall was arrested, Wednesday, after he called at Los Angeles Council President a racial slur and drew a picture of him hanging from a tree.
"A cross that's burning, an individual in a KKK hood. He calls me the 'N' word and has a photo of me hanging from a tree," Herb Wesson, the first African American to hold the seat of council president, told ABC 7.
Attorney Wayne Spindler, 46, was arrested after he reportedly drew an image of a man hanging from tree, a cross burning and a KKK hood holding a noose and sign that reads "Herb = nig--r" on a comment card, according to Raw Story.
Spindler, who addressed the council wearing a KKK hood, told the news station that it was all a misunderstanding.
"The cross burning is the city burning down from corruption, the hood is city hall coming after us for our money and the tree is me and everybody getting lynched as taxpayers," Spindler told ABC 7.
