BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Officials are investigating why a digital road closure sign was spotted promoting a known hate group Friday night, Dec. 29.

Video shared with WAFB shows the sign at the corner of Jefferson Highway and Essen Lane displaying messages apparently from Patriot Front, an organization classified by the Anti-Defamation League as a White supremacist group.

When asked about the signage Saturday morning, Dec. 30, a DOTD spokesperson said the digital display was not managed by the state’s transportation agency, but that it was reaching out to the contractor over the sign.

Shortly after, city-parish spokesperson Mark Armstrong told WAFB that the sign had been turned off as of early Saturday afternoon.

“The signs have been turned off. We’re not going to allow bigotry and hatred to be broadcast in our community,” Armstrong said.

Earlier this year, the mayor-president’s office addressed concerns over signs from the same group being posted across the city. The group hung banners flaunting their logo in high-traffic areas over roadways, according to The Advocate.

At what point do people start getting their arse kicked for saying something so stupid.

But you’ll allow a racist group known as BLM because if not, they’ll get their little feelings hurt

As an IT guy, I've always wondered how these road side digital signs get hacked.

Do they hack the wireless transmission signals or do they walk up and plug in a laptop to change the message?

Daily murders and the live action version of Grand Theft Auto are fine, though.

(Also, the sign didn't even say anything bad).

What a joke. Blacks currently calling for the extermination of whites with no consequences.

I fail to see the hatred.

Was there some message promoting the KKK or the Muslim Brotherhood that I missed?

Prior to WWll, the America First Committee was a pacifist group who opposed war. After Pearl Harbor, all that changed. Charles Lindbergh was its most prominent member.
Not sure if this is the same bunch.

“America First” “Patriot” - Words that Democrats consider hate speech.

I hate you fricking Democrats. I hope you and your family members get a heavy dose of what you’ve been voting for one day.

Did it possibly say anything else and they just didn’t post it, or was this it?

If it scrolled the lyrics of The White Man Marches On, I could see that being a problem.
