Hanging a noose is not a crime????

A case is Florida in which a white teenager was caught hanging a noose in a black families yard has taken an odd turn. Local prosecutors want to charge the teen but under Florida law hanging a noose is not a crime. They can not even charge the boy with trespassing because the black family did not have a “No Trespassing” sign posted or a fence to keep people out of the yard.

Another case of racial injustice in America

The case of Juan Rayford Jr.

Jena Louisiana is not the only place where racial injustice is taking place in the United States. I was contacted by a father trying desperately trying to get justice for his son in Los Angeles County California. His son 18 yr old Juan Rayford Jr. was sentenced to 220 tears on 11 counts of attempted murder because SOMEONE shot into a house with 11 people inside although no witnesses or evidence can put the gun in his hand. Also:

Like the Jena case no defense was put on by the public defender

The bail was set at 11 million dollars

The sentence clearly violates the Eight Amendment of the United States Constitution which protects against cruel and unusual punishment.
