I was reading about that a while ago. The whole thing is fucked up. It’s a heavily segregated society. Some black kids started hanging out under the white kids’ tree. The white kids hung nooses in the tree to tell them to stay away from their tree. No hate crime charges filed. Tensions build, fights break out, black kids kick the shit out of a white kid. Attempted murder charges against the white kid. Cue the racial ambulance chasers.
Lovely.
Although I don’t totally disagree with the protesting. Kids in a fight != attempted murder. That’s an awfully steep charge for a high school fight.
