MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Neighbors are defending the woman who submitted an application for a KKK rally permit.

Tamra Crowder filed the application last week. Crowder listed a home on Maria Street in the Berclair area as her home address.

Carl Range lives on Maria. He told abc24.com, "I'm not really against KKK rally. If they want to come to Memphis and do their thing, that's fine with me. I don't have objection to it… They have their own right and I've got my own right."

It's not clear whether Crowder lives on Maria. Range says he doesn't know her but he does see people coming and going from the home.

No one answered the door at the home on Maria. Crowder also has an address in Olive Branch, but no luck there either.

Another neighbor, John Free, says Crowder is free to believe and support whatever she chooses.

"Everybody's entitled to their opinion, that's all I can say," he said. "That's their business, I'm just here to live my life."

If the permit is approved by the city, the rally will be held March 30.

I don't support any hate group but; What "trouble" 'carol'? Be careful what you wish for.

Is it just me or did the neighbor seem a little nervouse, like he knew that if he said he didn't support it, he would probably have to deal with those members destroying his home and belongings. I just am in shock with this!! I mean come one people, give it a rest already, your cause is dead and trying to revive it in anyway is just asking for more trouble.

The problem, 'Novarese', is that those who are against this don't CARE about the rights of others. They don't practice what they preach....

I don't think those neighbors were defending the woman as much as they were defending the right to free speech she enjoys, just like everyone else. Heck, one neighbor admitted he didn't know her so he definitely wasn't defending her. But nice misleading title to add some "human interest" to your useless story.

Have mrs Fullalove tell the klan why they wanted change in the parks names. THEN WHEN people start breaking windows & tearing things up, send the bills to the city since they started this mess.
