    tony, are you even tangentially acquainted with first amendment law?
     
  2. There might not be a law specifically saying you can't ignite a cross in someone's yard but it's obvious what it is, Tony. It's a threat. Of violence. It means get out or great harm will come to you.

    It boils down to this, Ton: You have the right to do anything you want until you impede on my rights. It's a hate crime.

    I agree with you completely about the burning of the cross on someone's lawn. I don't think the noose is the same thing, even though the assholes are trying to use it in the same way. Like I said, it's got to be a crime before it's a hate crime. No crime, no hate crime. Owning a rope and tying it in a noose simply is not a crime.
     
  4. At the least you can agree that you should expect to get your ass kicked if you do something like that ...

    I don't know if you should expect it, but you shouldn't be surprised by it. And it still doesn't make the resulting ass-kicking legal.
     
  6. At least he didn't use a gun ... 6-to-1 is hardly fair, but you see so many youngsters these days reaching for the heat ...

    Hey, I could have started a new thread.
    I figured this was the best way to do it.
