I heard about this whole thing on the power 96 about two months ago but i never really got the full story and now i have. A tree that belonged to "white kids" long before the schools were integrated had suddenly been messed with when black kids decided to sit by it. Whatever, the story does continue and you already know how it goes so theres no point in me repeating it. Point is, that the kids who, as to me, commited a hate crime, of insulting the black kids by hanging nooses were just getting a good old suspension from school and when the black kids stand up for themselves when noone else does, they get charged not only as adults but as something as ridiculous as attempted murder. If i were in charge of the case, i'd either charge the white kids of hate crime as juveniles and the black kids as juvenile criminal assault or both groups equally suspended from school. They both commited some type of crime, no matter what the depth of it. What would you do if you were the black kids, would you just sit down and watch how "white folks" make fun of you and your background? Or would you do something just as similar as what these black kids did?
