“expressed hateful and racist comments, including notions of violence toward people of color, racial slurs, derogatory pictures and videos, and a mock slave auction directed at two juveniles known to them,”
Hateful is legal.
Racist is First Amendment protected speech.
Racial slurs, like ni**er, used by blacks? Legal for them but illegal for you? Equal protection of the laws, anyone?
Pictures, videos and a mock slave auction? What law do pictures violate?
Notions of violence, but not actual threats of violence?
NOTHING here breaks the law.
Awful behavior, but apparently fully legal according to the report.
“All six have been charged with threat to commit a crime, according to the district attorney’s office. One has additionally been charged with interference with civil rights and witness interference, while another has also been charged with interference with civil rights, the district attorney said.”
Made up crimes.
