Getting kicked out of school and having this on his record for the rest of his life among community service and a hefty fine would be enough without prison time IMO.
It may have been for this kid. The Judge was obviously intent on sending a harsh message to others who would do something like this.

You're wrong. It did harm people. Who do you think he was trying to intimidate or make uncomfortable with a noose around a civil rights leader??? A noose obviously insinuates lynching and death to black folks. If you can't see how that is a bad thing, I don't know how to help you.
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.
