First there was a bogus report of a column of tanks rolling into Ferguson, Mo. Today “The KKK” began trending on Twitter briefly after rumors spread that the white supremacist hate group had assembled in Clayton, Mo.
Whoops, I think @YourAnonNews just make "The KKK" trend in the USA and the OP deleted the KKK tweet about St. Louis pic.twitter.com/q3LQEcCTak

It didn’t take long to uncover that the photo was not current and not from Missouri.
@Swirlin_Owwn_Ya @KaraPublishes do u really think if the kkk showed up, there would be only 1 outdated photo and no media coverage? Please

So, Anonymous posts an old photo of the KKK as if they are on site at Ferguson (they aren't). As if the militarized police isn't bad enough.

The #KKK picture is not real. Don't share it.

Then again, some have expanded their definition of KKK.

The KKK has been deep in #Ferguson since the beginning. They're all wearing badges.
