We love to see racists get what they deserve, especially when they’re leaders of one of the most infamous and hateful white supremacist groups in world history.
Last week, Daniel Walls was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to four counts of civil rights intimidation after he admitted to posting several racist flyers on the doors of Black churches in Columbia, Tenn. in July 2023, according to NewsChannel 5 Nashville.
After his three-year sentence is served, he still faces another six years of probation.
They read, “Be Warned. Race traitors, mixed breeds, communists, homosexuals, and all other walks of Godless degeneracy, the Klan is back again and here to stay, so you’d better make amends or stay away!!!”
The flyers also included Ku Klux Klan imagery, racist slogans, and homophobic language.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, Walls is the leader of the Old Glory Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (OGK), a small Klan group based in Maury, Tenn. They have been active since 2021 and have shared their propaganda in other states including Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

“The judge had to send a clear picture that this kind of senseless act of hate has consequences and his incarceration will deter others from trying to do what he did,” said Kenny L. Anderson Sr., pastor of Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church.
“So I am glad all of that fell that way, I really am.”
During his sentencing hearing, Walls said, “I stand here today with deep regret in my heart. I know what I did was wrong and a horrible thing to do. I don’t know what got into me,” according to NewsChannel 5 Nashville.
I wonder if he felt that same sense of regret when he started his hate group nearly three years ago.
