What is this Country coming to?
By The Pundit | August 15, 2008
Today, I read an article about a teenager in Louisiana who was sentenced to 4 months in prison for hanging some nooses from the back of his pickup truck and driving past some black protesters who were waiting for a bus. This is the article:
“ALEXANDRIA, La. – A Louisiana teenager who hung nooses off the back of his truck to intimidate a group of black civil rights demonstrators has been sentenced to four months in prison.
Federal prosecutors say 19-year-old Jeremiah Munsen displayed the nooses when he drove past people who had attended a massive civil rights march in Jena on Sept. 20.
Munsen had faced up to a year in prison after pleading guilty in April to a misdemeanor charge of interfering with the marchers’ federally protected right to travel.
The marchers were waiting in Alexandria for a bus home to Tennessee. They had been protesting the criminal cases against six black teenagers charged with beating a white student at Jena High School in 2006.”
Where have our 1st Amendment rights gone to? I find it very hard to believe that anyone would be criminally intimidated by such a display. The government continues to strip us of our freedoms as it works towards dictatorship not unlike Nazi Germany!икони
