That is much older in our histories past than the nooses are.
oh, so by your logic, if something is recent, that makes it important.
Your racism is showing.

It would be interesting to read the transcript of the conversation between the defendant and the officers.
Officer: "Are you aware you've got two nooses dangling from the rear of your vehicle?"
What does the driver say to that?

So, Indians should be offended by blankets because once upon a time they were filled with smallpox in order to kill them?
yep, you're clueless. To ignore you go. Brush up on the law and learn how to debate.
2) Of course time matters.
ok, and did he use them or threaten to use them? I would like to see where that was mentioned.
No I was just putting myself in the place of the interviewing officer, it would have been a delicious moment, waiting for the driver to respond to the question. I can just see him now, eyebrows knitted, probably meeting in the centre of his forehead, looking around for inspiration, maybe a bead of perspiration on his wrinkled brow as he tries to figure out how to get out of this one.
"Er...nooses? Oh THOSE nooses! Oh yeah, well, I was at a scout camp and we were practising knot-tying and....you're shaking your head officer....."

now the police can stop people for having rope in the back of their trucks?
if he had a confederate flag, should he be ticketed for that?
Cynic-American: said:It all comes down to the importance we put on symbols.
Cynic-American: said:If I wear a cross, does it mean I condone the crucifixion of Jesus?
In my opinion, no.
ah, so genocide against Indians is acceptable because it was long ago.
Gotcha.
but why not??? Its a "symbol of hate". Why is one excluded but the other is not?

according to many, its a symbol of hate.I thought it was a flag representing the former Confederate States of America.
A symbol of hate is a burning cross on your front lawn.
according to many, its a symbol of hate.
Oh hey, lets do away with all symbols because they have the potential to offend.

damn --does that leave anything ?
You want to see symbols of hate? Just wait for the AFL Grand Final, you'll see symbols of hate all over the place
Oh wait, I forgot, Collingwood's out of the Finals1. It won't be so bad then. But jeez if Port Power wins you'll see their bloody feral fans going nuts in Melbourne and all the way back home. Gawd, I'd sooner see a bloody Victorian team win than have to put up with Port's bragging, arrogant, one-toothed, beanie-wearing bloody ferals crowing (pun if anyone knows anything about footy - Chips?) about their big victory (another small pun there Chips).

Vale the great Len Thompson, former Collingwood ruckman in the 1970s and a superb player. Ditterich might have got the publicity Len but you were the real goods.
