ALEXANDRIA, Louisiana (CNN) -- Authorities in Alexandria, Louisiana, arrested two people after nooses were seen hanging from the back of a red pickup Thursday night, the city's mayor told CNN.
A photograph taken by I-Reporter Casanova Love shows a noose hanging from a red pickup.
Alexandria is less than an hour away from Jena, Louisiana, and was a staging area Thursday for protesters who went to the smaller town to demonstrate against the treatment of six black teens known as the "Jena 6" in racially charged incidents.

Police say the 18-year-old driver of the truck was charged with driving while intoxicated and inciting to riot and also may be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor -- the 16-year-old passenger.

While I’m certainly not an apologist for Jesse, Al and crew, there are still some pockets of dumbass white trash in Louisiana. These are also the people largely responsible for electing Blanco over Jindal last time around because Jindal wasn’t white enough.

The passenger told police he and his family are in the Ku Klux Klan, the police report said.

They should create Noose Free Zones so that people of color can feel safe.

I guess hanging a noose is the equivalent to being beaten within an inch of your life by 6 guys.

I have a difficult time the noose was just hanging out of the back of the truck after this was a national story and after Al and Jesse marched, and I am not one for conspiracy theories.

Hopefully, these punks spend a nice night in jail with some of the Brothers in the Alexandria jail.

Some folks in the Jena area seem to be doing their level best to live down to the expectations of the race hustlers.
Al Sharpton just got an early Christmas present from this embarrassing dirtbag.

I am sure it was just a coincidence that a Klan member was riding around in a pick up truck with a noose hanging out the back.
