Its called assault for a reason. The "intent to kill" part should probably be dropped, but a crime was committed. That being said, the assault victim was out of line by using racial insults, however a gang beating was not the way to handle it. The students who stupidly hung nooses to try to deter black student from sitting under the tree were punished, but I believe they should have been expelled, not suspended. Two wrongs don't make a right and the bad blood that has been fermenting in this community should be dealt with by their own town officials, schoolboard, etc. The eyes of the nation are upon them. To have the media parade of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will only polarize this community against each other. The only good news I have heard about this case is that the "white tree" has been removed. I do blame the school's principal and school district for letting certain white students to claim it for their own and ban blacks. They had to know about this. I think justice in this matter should be the firing of the principal and any board members within the school's district, expulsion for the students that hung the nooses, and juvenile probation for the students that committed the assault. They were provoked, but being called names doesn't give a student the right to commit an assault. I would hate to think of the backlash if the assault victim was black and their were 6 white students attacking. It seems there is no wrong or right or justice in this matter. Just enraged outsiders looking for media attention. The black students who ganged up and beat this
