¿por qué no hay gente de color en knob creek, kentucky, o hispanos por qué no hay ningún asiático? aquí eso sería considerado casi una provocación porque aunque no quieran reconocerlo casi todos los que van a knob creek a disparar, profesan algún tipo de ideología radical: ultraderecha cristianos arios, neonazis supremacistas blancos, el ku klux klan sigue activo por la zona y aprovecha estos encuentros para juntarse con miembros del mismo ku klux klan de otros estados.
