Good grief; this is 2014, you don’t have to burn crosses anymore. Just get on social media and rant about the icky couple and how god doesn’t like it. The cross burning fad went out years ago!
On a serious note, I’m glad this guy has been indicted. I hope John Roberts takes note of these types of actions, because from his tower, he seems to think racism no longer exists…

The baby’s race? What about the color of the house?

Justice Roberts probably thinks cross burning is a traditional congratulation to interracial newlyweds from right-wingers-- they even did one for Clarence Thomas. What racism?

the baby's race played a part in the group's decision to burn the cross.
Well, the damn baby shouldn’t have been strolling all over town bragging about being in THE HUMAN RACE!!!

I know, I was wondering about that myself.
As if they made sure that an interracial couple hadn’t given birth to an Ainu before they struck.

three charges, and not one of them a hate crime?

Was wondering if it’s OK for Democrats to shoot these cross burning punks in the rear end, with rock salt at the minimum, or if that action still represents a tabu’ in their minds.
Minor Hill is not far from Pulaski, home of the original Ku Klux Klan in 1866.

A while back, I was able to get a hold of a magazine which would only be read by the 0.01%. In it there were not only articles dedicated to people with about $10 million and above net worth, but ads as well.
A person reading and utilizing what is in this magazine looks upon this particular racist here like, well, any of the people whom the racist spends a substantial proportion of his waking hours hating.
Now, let’s not be jumping to conclusions all based on only one burning cross in a couple’s driveway. I expect he and the others may well have some perfectly legitimate motive and this whole thing’s been blown up right out of proportion over a simple misunderstanding.

See, there you are: the majority of the SCOTUS says racism’s all in the past, so it can’t be that. Guess we’ll all just have to wait to be surprised.

So - historical re-enactment?
Exactly, perhaps it was a Welcome to Tennessee t, and they lit it so they could see it at night.

How much more can I despise these fucked up scum bags?
Another step by the right wing to try and drag their “country” back where they felt comfortable with it. Nothing says white Christian loser like burning crosses.

I’m not licensed there, but I suspect the only hate crime known to the law of Tennessee involves back-talking to cops.
