A Louisiana teen was indicted on federal civil rights violations for showing nooses to civil rights marchers in Alexandria, La., the Justice Department said.
Jeremiah Munsen, 18, was indicted on hate crime and conspiracy charges for his role in intimidating black marchers who attended a rally Sept. 20 in Jena, La., to support six black teens accused of beating a white classmate, the Justice Department said in a news release Thursday.
The indictment alleged Munsen and another person attached two nooses to a truck then repeatedly drove past a group of marchers waiting at a bus station in nearby Alexandria, La., to return to their home state of Tennessee.

Draconian tripe is all that is. 9Blacks can gang up on 1 white woman and beat the stuffing out of her and its not a hate crime? 55Dead in la riots and still no one brought to trial for murder. All whites are in danger of being railroaded for some imagined crime, while real crime is swept aside and hardly reported on. I really don,t know what action to take. I don,t go to any movies because of their odd slant against whites. I don,t go to any bassettball games and i doubt if i,d ever go to a pro football game. I wish someone would come up with some positive action to take against this injustice. Guess we could start boycotting states where stuff like this happens. Doubt if i,ll ever go to Louisiana or spend any money there.

History lesson: Poor whites are called that(crackers) because they were too poor to buy a horse to pull their wagons. They bought mules which were harder to get moving so they would have to crack a whip by their ears to get them moving. Mules are stubborn. The blacks were better off than the poor whites so it amounted to a derogatory term. Capitalism is evil. Popes have said so and it causes a fishbowl effect in society. Everybody can,t sing,act,or win the lottery so you end up with these cruel divisions.
