[Asclepias]

What an idiot. I hope they give him the max.

Lock him up for being stupid??

Stupidity is no excuse. He broke the law you idiot.

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

Stupidity is no excuse. He broke the law you idiot.

A law which clearly violates freedom of speech. Would you support the prosecution of someone who had a sign saying "hang all white people".? THINK, you miserable america-hating racist wretch!!!

The rope nor the sign are illegal. Using them to intimidate the man's neighbor is how he got convicted and arrested. There is no evidence that a person in that state that randomly displays the same combination of sign and or rope would be arrested. It was the purposeful targeting of a specific person, his neighbor, that brought him his legal problems. Many states have terroristic threat laws that disallow certain kinds of speech.

You should be locked up and forced to take 3rd grade English. Well, that's what those Obama re-education camps are for! NOW SPEEK, Dingbat!

Would he be arrested if his sign said "Honky Lives Don't Matter".?

Rocky Mount man guilty of hanging a noose is jailed over new yard sign

dec 2 2015 The Rocky Mount man who was convicted of hanging a noose in his front yard — and who is due to be sentenced for that crime next week — is back in jail, accused of making another provocative public display.

At his trial in September, Jack Eugene Turner, 52, was found guilty of a Class 6 felony. He was allowed to remain free on bond, but one of the conditions of his release was that he not post any further symbols or messages in his yard on Lindsey Lane.

On Tuesday, police said Turner was arrested for a second time after he put up a sign in front of his home that read “N----- lives don’t matter. Got rope?”

What is good about this type thing is, the other white racist chimps see this one getting punished for his actions and they are far less likely to let their racism out of their heads. And after a few years they die and take it with them.

HUH? Where did the sign mention a specific person??

I'm pretty much an absolutist on free speech. I think libel and slander laws should be repealed and i even think people should be allowed to yell fire in a crowded theatre. As it is we are always making exceptions to our supposed belief in free speech.

I found a picture of shootspeeders.

By the way, terroristic speech does not have to be limited to a particular individual.

The article from the OP states that witnesses testified at his first trial that the display was erected in response to a dispute with his neighbor, who is black. The jury was convinced the sign and rope were meant to address the neighbor.

The people that found him guilty are the ones that get to determine that. Follow along you cave chimp.
