So if they walked up a black student and held a noose in their face, is that a threat?
Firstly, a noose is not like a gun.
Secondly, it would depend on whether or not the person said he was going to lynch the person he held the noose in front of.

Damn the other guy got screwed 6 months in prison, which is three with good behavior, but I would take 5 years probation over 3 months in parish prison. So one year is a cake walk, even if supervised. As long as it's not drug court probation should be a breeze
Not in the federal system, he will do 6 months. To be eligible for good behavior, you need to be sentenced to a year and a day or more.

So it has to be a verbal threat? Holding an item used to execute people isn't enough? What about the noose and throat slitting motion?

If anything it's a threat to white people. More whites have died by the noose than any other race.

If we're still talking about the perception of force, I think a verbal threat with a noose in hand is sufficient grounds to justify the charge

I don't have any data to confirm or deny that, but it is probably true. Either way, in the south it often has racial implications against blacks.
Maybe it shouldn't, but I can't change that.

Can you brandish a noose?

So if you don't say anything just point to someone and do a throat slit motion while holding a noose, is that a threat?

We're really not talking about "threats" per say. We're talking about someone's perception of fear.
I don't think a throat slashing motion with a noose in hand is enough to justify the charge of installing a perception of fear because a noose is unlike other conventional weapons.
If he had a plastic fork, and held that in someone's face, would that be sufficient to claim a perception of fear? It largely depends on the weapon. A noose in not conventionally a weapon. It has racial undertones, which is the root of the charge.

That's pretty threatening and I get your point.
The entirety of college football team rosters circa 2007 should be in jail for minimum of a few months.

I mean, it's both facetious and true. People have been hanged in Effigee from time immemorial. It's hardly solely racial, although the PC police will paint it as such.
A noose is simply a form of efficient execution. It knows no race

In the context of hanging it around a statue for the first black student at a historically segregated university in the Deep South, you bet your arse it's racial.

That's not the reason for the statute is it? Is it there to protect the piece of mind of black people?
I will whole heartedly support laws based on race.

Why aren't BLM protestors charged with hate crimes?
Posted on 7/22/16 at 4:49 pm to lsu2006
I meant a noose in and of itself. Some people would have you believe that a noose is solely a black means of execution

How have they racially intimidated students attempting to attend a public university?
