Are you really going to try to defend this?

It reads very sincere. I rarely look @ red cups stuff, but that was good. If it isn't in the other thread about this it should be.

i assume he is just taking issue with the mention of trying to pursue this as a hate crime.

I am in no way defending their actions. I am however 100% defending their right to do it.

I'm not sure if you have the right to deface public property.

Red Cup is my favorite. Always well written, snarky, and generally fair minus hate week.

Not sure what they did meets the legal definition of "defacement."

When you say "right", what exactly do you mean? Right to do it free from legal action? Right to do it free from public scorn? Right to do it as a form of free speech?

That would be reaching. They better start arresting anyone that staples a flyer up on campus.

I hope the public gives them a ration of shite over it. But that is as far as I think it should go.

So the KKK can buy a permit and shout all the hate they want from the Court House steps, but let 3 dumb asses hang a noose around a statue and it's a hate crime?
They didn't buy the permit so in the eyes of the Feds they are criminals.

public should give them shite for it and the school should kick them out but no need to go further.

Okay. I don't think they should face criminal charges, but I fully support Ole Miss kicking them out of school.

You realize Meredith is still alive right? That really gives a prosecutor something to work with.

If they were minority students and burned a white person in effigy, it would have almost certainly viewed as free speech.

Giving the prosecutor something to work with doesn't mean anything, really. We're trying people's speech as an overreaction to social trends and a perceived increase in violence.

it is probably best that these 3 get kicked off campus. If they were allowed to stay in school then the nkemdiche brothers might try to kill 3 more students.

Yes I know he is still alive.
