Hours after 11 people were killed at a Pittsburgh Synagogue, a haunted house in Ohio is now apologizing after they posted SWASTIKA SATURDAY and a man in Mississippi wore a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood and was walking into a bar for a "Halloween costume contest"!!

These are just 2 incidents that shocked Americans still reeling from the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue when a gunman stormed inside

Haunted Hoochie in Pataskala continued to advertised "swastika saturday" on social media as people slammed the event.

It's an annual event that bills itself as "America's sickest, most over the top, craziest and most outrageous haunted attraction"

On the last saturday before halloween, employees dressed up in their "craziest" costumes including those with swastikas.

People wrote on the page to explain why the party was still held as an employee DEFENDED it and said "meant to pose one group against another that is all they are. Tools of government and religions...change my mind"

He defended the event as totally "un-pc" and it went on as planned as he it's an event for people to "escape reality" and have a fun time and "joke around"

But now they back tracked it and apologized over the insensitivity on their part while still defending it and not even mentioning the pittsburgh attack by name.

They said "We show you the darkest sickest, depraved parts of the world we all live in. We definitely aren't Nazi's. It's a haunted house, it's all about the horrors we face here on earth. We also don't condone murder, torture, suicide by shotgun, or birth by sledgehammer. It does make us sad that this country is being divided against and killing each other, don't fall for the illusion that one race/religion is better than another. peace, love and light"

The so called apology came under fire as users blasted it for using nazi symbols for marketing.

People described it as disgusting who said they are using a symbol of mass genocide into a marketing ploy is simply disgusting.

The haunted hoochie again made ANOTHER U-TURN who said they 'screwed up big time" and apologized for a THIRD attempt and will now DONATE 50,000 to the victims of the shooting

Another man was sporting a KKK outfit at a bar in Mississippi and was KICKED OUT as he also waved the CONFEDERATE FLAG as co-owner Bryan Carroll asked him to take it off but he refused...he has now been BANNED at the Mutt & BC's Bar and Grill.

Do you think there's a line people shouldn't cross when making "jokes"?

The poll doesnt make sense because theres no joke in this situation. A joke needs a punchline and there isnt one here. They just thought it would be fun to wear swastikas for some reason.

It is bizarre but a haunted house tries to be as extreme as possible, come up with the scariest things they can.

instead of being offended on someones behalf. why not all take "ownership" of the symbol and change the meaning into something else.

if I recall some people did that with certain words with great support.

It's just entirely tone deaf to continue on with the event mere hours after the shooting. Just call it something else and tell your staff to not wear Swastikas. Hell, you could probably get away with doing it again next year barring any mass shooting happening literally hours beforehand.

As for the Klan wannabe member, good, fuck that guy. Using Halloween as an excuse to dress up as the KKK, complete with flag and all, and then refusing to do what the bar owner asks deserves to get you booted and banned from an establishment.
