I first heard about this story on NPR. I'm not really sure what to make of it. Obviously there are grave civil rights problems in this town, otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds of people marching in protest. I don't think the same charges would be raised against a group of white teenagers. It would probably be the old "boys will be boys" saying.
I honestly can't blame the boys for wanting to beat up a white boy that hung nooses around a tree that they wanted to sit by. What world are we living in? Am I so sheltered to believe that things like this don't happen in 2007?
