Exactly what I pictured. If you fancy yourself as a member of a superior race would it kill you to comb your hair and shave your neck?

They HAD to burn the cross. The black couple moved in and raised everybody on the street's property values 15%, except the cross burners.

The cross burners values would have been raised as well, but they are actively rednecking their home up to old-school Livingston parish trailer standards.

You mean thought crime. I don’t necessarily agree with burning a cross, but where’s the crime.

The SCOTUS has ruled on this issue before. Burning a cross, without the intent to intimidate, is not illegal. If a state law, Virginia in that case, says burning a cross with intent to intimidate is illegal, then that is good law.

quote:

In upholding the part of the law that prohibits cross-burning with the intent to intimidate, the Court’s majority held that the Virginia law is not inconsistent with R.AV v. St. Paul, a 1992 Supreme Court ruling that struck down an ordinance prohibiting cross-burning and other kinds of threatening conduct, but only when it is motivated by racial, religious or gender bias. Unlike the ordinance in R.A.V., Virginia’s statute bans all cross-burning with the intent to intimidate and therefore does not discriminate against particular viewpoints.

And pretty liberal use of the word "works."

Sounds like pieces of crap, but this is why we are where we are.
Free speech should be free speech. Burning a cross in your own yard shouldn't be a crime.
It then comes down to interpretation and that's when we all fricked. Fight like hell does not mean insurrection.

Can’t burn a cross on your own property any more? What has this country come to

When it's used as a tool to intimidate, like this was, then it is absolutely a crime. 1st Amendment be damned. That shouldn't be used as a cover here.

frick those people

True. Burning a cross by itself can be open for interpretation, however, if the additional allegations are proven to have merit, such as threatening them with "the devils army" (wtf), and posting their address online, I think it's reasonable to interpret this particular cross burning as a threat. I disagree with hate crime charges because a crime is a crime and what is and isn't considered a hate crime seems to vary depending on factors outside of universal application of the law.

Judging from the photos, I’d rather live next door to the black couple.

The black couple looks like decent people. This white couple looks like pure trash.
