Some black kids see some nooses and are so enraged they gangbang a white kid who wasn’t involved? Give me a break.

Certainly there are agendas pushing this, ala Bonfire of the Vanities. Since Iraq has cooled off the only news stories have been the sinking dollar and rising gas prices.

And despite the understandable association of nooses with racial lynching, kids can tie them for other reasons. I tied many as a youngster, simply because I was proud of having mastered tying the hangman’s noose - something few other kids could do.

I haven’t seen Lonesome Doves but there must be a hanging scene. The word “hanging” is the second plot key word on this movie web site:

Imagine, kids who rodeo getting ideas from a movie like that!

This makes no sense at all. What’s he saying? He’s going to prosecute 2 or 3 white highschool girls for rape for talking on the phone? Nothing like inviting the local DA down to the school to calm the waters, have him lose it and start making nonsensical threats.

“the crudely constructed nooses were not aimed at black students. Instead, they were understood to be a prank by three white students aimed at their fellow white friends, members of the school rodeo team. (The students apparently got the idea from watching episodes of “Lonesome Dove.”)”

This also makes no sense. “Lonesome Dove” aired in 1989 and while it’s been in re-release over the years it’s not likely anybody would make the connnection between nooses and that movie. If it was all just a big misunderstanding then why didn’t the school officials bring all sides together and explain that instead of letting this animosity fester?

“the jury selection process was completely legal and withstood an investigation by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.”

George Bush’s Justice Department? Hahahahahahaha! That’s funny. Almost as funny as the verdict being thrown out on appeal.

“Actually, Jena is a wonderful place to live for both whites and blacks.”
