Would Q-tips count as half a hate crime?
Yes. It was clearly racist in intent. I hope few here come to their defense.
A felony hate crime? Absolutely not.
Were they cotton, milled in the American South? Or were they polyester, manufactured in China? Inquiring public defenders want to know...
Nope - but I remember flying over a golf course dropping stale marshmallows ....
What was that line from Atlas Shrugged? Make everything a crime so you have a nation of law-breakers walking around?
Unlike the recent San Diego incidents, here the perps were actually white. Of course, this is racism. Whether it rises to the level of a felony is questionable.
I sure hope they never allow Mother Nature to allow dandelions to go seed-head on their lawn.
Crimes of violence are wrong...regardless."Hate crimes" are BARBARA STREISAND!
Racism is feeling or expressing that your race is superior to another (or, that some other race is inferior to yours).
Now while this cottonball event might be distasteful and rude, it clearly does not mean that whites are superior to blacks, nor the other way around.
Next, whites will be arrested for “eating watermelon in a racist manner”.
This is getting ridiculous
These charges are cotton pickin stupid!
Had they been armed with Assault Spitball Straws, this could have sent these kids to prison for life.
These charges are ridiculous.
It is this kind of abuse of our legal system will help to increase racism, NOT stop it.
The dipsh!t “victims” should have tossed white soda crackers all over the white guys yard. Then everybody could have been told to grow up and life could go on.
I’m a retired LEO and it is crap like this that makes me even more please that I am out of it.
cotton balls thrown across the lawn
I wonder how far one can throw a cotton ball?
Yes, the Black Culture Center is a hate crime: commandeering money from people of all races, then allocating those funds for the exclusive use by and for and in promotion of color-based racism. Imagine the seething rage unleashed if there were a White Culture Center on campus.
Oh, the cotton balls? dunno what’s up with that. Probably someone opened a bag and they blew around, freak accident. Someone too annoyed to clean up their mess.
If they were liberals, this would be free speech.
Cotton balls?...sounds like a hate crime against rag dolls!
Difference between a black Democrat and a black Republican.
Black Democrat: Will call the police and cry about the “hate crime” that occured on their lawn on the 10 o clock news.
Black Republican: Will chase down the dumb punks with the nearest baseball bat and tell the brats to clean up their litter. May be featured on the 10 o clock news for being arrested for simple battery and assault.
