Former Student Who Put Noose on Ole Miss Statue of James Meredith Get 6 Months in Prison

sep 20 2015 A former University of Mississippi student who admitted helping place a noose on a statue of a civil rights activist is going to prison.

WTVA-TV (WTVA.com | Jail time in James Meredith statue desecration) reports a federal judge sentenced Graeme Phillip Harris to six months in prison beginning Jan. 4. During the Thursday hearing in Oxford, he also ordered Harris to serve 12 months' supervised release. Harris' lawyer argued he didn't deserve jail time.

Harris pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of using a threat of force to intimidate African-American students and employees

Judge called this a "threat of force"!!! I don't see that.. And why is this a federal issue anyway.? The tenth amendment says this should have been handled by the states.

The student should have claimed it was art........which is perfectly legal as freedom of expression. .....

Got that right. There is no white privilege - but white persecution is everywhere.

Lucky in one sense since its a federal crime he is going to federal prison and for 6 months probably some work camp with no fences etc aka less n!ggers to rape him or assault him. Stupid thing he did but we all do stupid shit no reason he should have been charged that's for sure.

He should have dressed it in pants hanging off its ass and an ironed-brim baseball cap under a hoodie and lots of gold chains.
Then it would have looked like obama's son.

Yes indeed. Stupid is not criminal. And if some black thug put a noose around a statue of reagan, there would be no charges and the press would applaud the thug.

A white stupid thug who attempted to instill a threat of force into a particular group of citizens.

Judge treated him leniently.

Only if he was an art student with a professor to back him up. See the difference? Dumb post sunni.

In today's enviornment anything by anyone can be considered art.

Sad but true.......

About the judge in this case, could it be Dianne Feinstein was correct in holding up the confirmation of this U.S. district judge nominated by George W Bush?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Wow, that is amazing.
Six months in prison !

[Sunni Man]

The student was only charged with a misdemeanor and yet received a 6 month sentence.

For some bogus crime called "threat of force"......what a bunch of BS. .........

Threaten who?
A fucking statue?

But, according to my link, a sitting President is fair game???
