Man arrested for front yard sign - “N----- lives don’t matter. Got rope?”

No more hanging nooses to intimidate someone in the state of Virginia. It's so sad. Let me hand you a confederate handkerchief.

Judge Joseph Canada ruled that Turner had violated a 2009 Virginia statute that prohibits hanging a noose to intimidate someone, a felony that carries penalties ranging from no jail time to up to five years in prison and fines of $2,500.

“The statute, in my opinion, was written for a case like this,” Canada said.
From the op

He didnt display a rope.

From the OP

Turner was arrested in June after he used a piece of rope to hang a dark-colored, life-sized dummy from a tree. Witnesses at his trial said the display was a response to an ongoing dispute he had with his next-door neighbors, who are black. They testified Turner had sent them strange notes and frequently flipped his middle finger at them and at their relatives, who also live on the street.

Caldwell said that when sheriff’s deputies responded to the figure hanging in his yard, Turner initially said it was a scarecrow, but then acknowledged it was put there to scare people.

“He stated that he was a racist and he did like black people but did not like n-----s,” Caldwell said in court. After his first arrest, witnesses said, Turner also started draping Confederate flags in his windows.

Yeah...I could see where that would get him in trouble.

I bet someone will be in any minute to claim that preventing threats to your neighbor with hanging is PC

"Got rope" is probably what did it
THINK

...it's now a "hate crime" to say "rope"?

more anti white racial revenge "politics".

The article doesn't say that. You're full of shit.

"got rope" is an insinuation of murder

really? That's a slippery slope to try to assess people's "meaning" and then punish them for what YOU think they MIGHT have "meant".

Which obama czar is going to be in charge of determining what constitutes "threats" by white people?

Absolutely. They should lock you up for posting these dumb ass threads.

they're pretending to be able to assign "intent"..so anyone who ever makes or displays a noose is now using it to as you mentioned "2009 Virginia statute that prohibits hanging a noose to intimidate someone"...

"intimidate" someone....
"intimidation" is dynamic and there is no way to "measure" it...anyone can say they are "intimidated" by anything...let's outlaw anything that "intimidates" people...LMAO

What does "kill the crackers" mean?....is that "intimidating"?...should we lock up all negroes who advocate violence against white people?...

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Stupid move on his part.

While I am not sure he should have been arrested, I do think a stiff fine would have bee good.

The sherrif could have collected it (every day), dropped it off at the neighbors.

The neighbors could then have put out a sign that said hang more black dummies...our daughter is talking about attending Yale.

Nothing is wrong with having an opinion about people. But threatening them is a different story.

If they're hanging a fake white person from a rope in their yard, get arrested, then let go on the condition they don't do it again....then do it again, the answer would be yes, they should arrest them.

Who did he threaten?

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Ever hear of hanging someone in effigy?. That used to be common in america back when we believed in free speech. It was done to politicians and football coaches and about everyone. Now you go to jail for the word "rope".
