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.

“ allow bigotry and hatred to be broadcast in our community”
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

Baton Rouge is full of tremendous pussies.

Patriot Front is an American white nationalist and neo-fascist hate group. Part of the broader alt-right movement, the group split off from the neo-Nazi organization Vanguard America in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally in 2017. Patriot Front's aesthetic combines traditional Americana with fascist symbolism.

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?

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

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