He didn't specifically threaten anyone, true. But it was close enough to aggravate the nature of his crime and give the judge are reason to give a harsher sentence. I think that is what he was trying to say.

This a-hole was from Georgia. Mississippi always gets painted with a broad brush when stupid rednecks do things. His sentence makes a statement to those contemplating this kind of foolishness in the future. James Meredith visits the campus often, signs his books and lectures. This fool's gesture was definitely hateful, and he got what he deserved. If you disagree:

In modern America, the word connotes something that is entirely different than what you are referring to.

A "terroristic threat" is a crime by itself, at least here in Texas. I suspect that was the point he was making, but it has to be a threat to a specific person, which this was not. That's what I was saying.

That's the thing though. A conviction and sentencing should be looked at with impartiality regarding the crime and the offender. The justice system doesn't exist to send a broader statement about sociopolitical issues, and it doesn't exist to protect the reputation of a state school, or the judge himself.

Sociopolitical issues, no. Deterring crime. Absolutely. Don't kid yourself. That is exactly the intent and purpose of the justice system. To send a message.

Correct, deterring crime. But some of these insecure Ole Miss fans look at it as a violent arm by which to achieve their selfish goal of protecting the image of their school.

He'll probably have one of those American History X moments in prison. I look forward to seeing a biopic of his memoir.

Yes, but it wasn't like he burned a cross on some individual black person's lawn. That would be a threat given the history of our country. This kid was drunk and did something stupid. No individual black person was threatened. Given that burning the American flag in front of veterans is considered speech protected by the First Amendment, this action would be too. Again, political correctness gone amok. Someone should talk to this kid; he doesn't deserve to go to prison for 6 months.
I'd buy the drunk and stupid excuse if he spray painted something or even if he cut part of the statue off- but the dude brought props, that's not a drunken mistake that's planned.

That's fricking stupid (not the crime, the punishment). I bet there was a lot of outside pressure from that hypocritical piece of dog shite Al Sharpton. What a fricking joke.

Wouldn't you consider spray paint and/or a saw a 'prop' too?

Yes, that worked so well with the death penalty. Thank God that ended murder in this country. I'm sure there will never be an incident in Mississippi of racial hatred again after this message that was sent. Ridiculous. That is not what the justice system was set up to do. If you believe that's its purpose, you are the one kidding yourself.

This sentence is bullshite.
Violent black criminals get more chances and less time.

Hurting someone's feelings is not the same as hurting someone. His speech should be protected, even if heinous.
Government does not get to decide what's o.k. to say, and what is not. If he threatened a specific individual, then we have laws which apply.
Debate whether he committed vandalism, not whether his statement was acceptable.

This thread has been quite entertaining. That ole bro is gonna have one hell of a time in prison. I'm not sure how familiar any of you are with prison, I took a corrections class at UA and it scared the fricking shite out of me. Being a little white kid who is in there for a racist crime is not a good thing for his butthole. He's gonna either be raped and assaulted daily, or be put in solitary. Solitary for six months might literally drive him insane. If his appeal fails I'd bet he seriously considers committing suicide.

Well, that is different. They are not guilty of being White.
