Feds, Local Officials Say They'll Investigate Noose and Swastika Incidents, Prosecute When Possible

Subtitled: How To Keep A Moron Occupied

"A rash of hate attacks using hangman’s nooses, swastika etchings and other hateful symbols has driven one local government to form a task force and federal authorities to launch their own investigations into what's behind the acts.

In three different towns in Long Island, N.Y., this week, a noose was found dangling from a door hinge at a mall, another on a public works garage fence and two more on a highway department garage. Last month, a noose was strung up in a Nassau County Police Department locker room.

County officials announced Thursday that they were mobilizing a hate crimes commission to investigate the worrying trend in their community."

Yes, prosecute. Tie a piece of rope in an unfashionable manner and its off to prison. I for one, do hope they'd catch the kids who are running around tying up valuable law enforcement resources in the commission of these deadly crimes. We have SWAT, the WAR ON DRUGS, more paramilitary versions of law enforcement than imaginable, but it is high time for the HEMP POLICE.
