2. Some whites didn't like it and hung nooses in the tree. Too which they were suspended, but not charged because there is no law on the books that gives a criminal penalty for hanging a piece of rope in a tree no matter what shape it's in.
3. Some blacks get mad and beat up a white kid, not necessarily the white kid that hung the rope, but a random white kid. Not only beat him up, they ganged his ass with 6 people.
4. The 6 get slapped in jail, because there IS a law against stomping the crap out of someone. Attempted Murder, too stiff but understandable considering 6 on 1.
5. In comes Super Sharpton and Black Wonder Jackson to rally behind the 6. Everyone saw this coming and is to be expected.
What you failed to mention is the FACT there were 6 black students standing around, the altercation was 1 on 1, and the other 5 were charged as well. On top of that charged for attempted MURDER and the kid that got his ass whooped (for good reason) left the hospital with a band-aid and went to a school function that night
