Wow, I just reread the board, and most are commenting on and are upset about the beating of the white kid (Wagner). I agree with all of you that they should be appropriately punished for the fight. However, are y'all telling me that you are ok with the noose thing, or maybe you kinda glossed over that point. Or that the kids were originally charged with attempted second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, and the dangerous weapon was listed as shoes? Or that in 2007 you are ok with a school in America practicing de-facto segregation?
