MACON COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) - The Macon County Sheriff’s Office is working to find out who left a burning cross on the County Road 54 overpass above Interstate 85.
According to Sheriff Andre Brunson, the six-foot tall cross was propped up on the roadway Thursday night and eventually fell onto the overpass rail. Bystanders stopped and pushed the cross to the ground so it would not fall on anyone.
Brunson says the sheriff’s office responded and put out the fire.
“It’s crazy right now. A lot of racial tension and things going on, but I just think it’s crazy in 2020 that we have to deal with this. And as the sheriff of Macon County, we’re going to hold whoever did this responsible because right now they’re stirring up a lot of stuff, and really, really, really upsetting the people right now and scaring the people,” Brunson told WSFA 12 News.
Brunson says the department is working with the FBI and state investigators to find out who is responsible.
No arrests have been made at this time.
“I don’t like what happened. Hopefully, we can prevent this from happening again, but we definitely want to find the person that did this and bring them to justice.” Brunson adds.

I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised what happens in Mississippi or Alabama (if this isn’t a fake thing)

I put the chances of this being a false flag at, AT LEAST, 66%.

I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a false flag. Macon County is 85% black.

I'll go with an 85% chance the perpetrators were not white supremacists.

Given the quality of arsonists we have seen lately, I’m surprised they didn’t set themselves on fire and go running like Richard Pryor.

So the only thing scary is one cross burning.

I don't see how that is an argument in favor of it being fake.

I would wager the vast majority of crosses burning in the past were put in black yards, it makes sense someone would put it prominently in a black county.

But even still, the klan doesn't really exist anymore. It's probably a bunch of people who think it would be funny and drive a lifted jeep with a saltlife tag

No, r-tard, we're saying it was probably black folks or antifa types who set the thing as a false flag.
