I didn't know a noose was an illegal form of expression. Nor did I know that nearly killing a boy who may or may not have put the noose in the tree was punishable by a severe beating. Maybe you are a lawyer and can explain it to me.

Look, I am not defending Group A. They are a bunch of dumbasses that used a symbol of intimidation to send a message. Would you suggest that they represent the majority of white students PRIOR to the events? Would you say the students who beat the boy senseless represent the majority of black students PRIOR to the events?

You see events with your prejudices.
