Mississippi man sentenced to more than 3 years in prison for burning a cross to intimidate Black family

[LibertyKid]

This thread is a joke; right????

Yes; the guy's a tosser and so on but as odious as the action is; jail time?? IF the only reason was because the neighbours were Black then he's a jerk. Sounds like a wind up thread!!!

Greg

A racist jerk. Let's be sure to call him what he actually is.

AMississippi man has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for burning a cross in his front yard to intimidate a Black family, according to a news release from the US Justice Department.

Axel Cox, 24, was sentenced to 42 months in connection to the cross burning, which happened in December 2020 and violated the Fair Housing Act, the release said, adding Cox “admitted that he lit the cross on fire because the victims were Black and that he intended to scare them into moving out of the neighborhood.”

Justice Department leaders condemned Cox’s actions, with Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division calling them “an abhorrent act that used a traditional symbol of hatred and violence to stoke fear and drive a Black family out of their home.

According to the Justice Department, Cox “wedged two pieces of wood together to form a cross, placed it in clear view of the victims’ residence,” following a dispute with the victims and “doused it in oil and set it alight. During this incident, Cox yelled threats and racial slurs toward the occupants of the house.”

Was his rights violated?

Can you burn a cross on your lawn if you want to?

Most places have ordinances about having open fires in your yard.

From BLM and Antifa????

Black owners???

Zero!!!!!! Now tell me; were the attackers wearing the typical DemoKKKrat hats???

Greg

Republicans don't wear the hats, they just have the mindset of the sheet wearers.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

You defended burning down cake shops!!!! Your admission is noted. You wear the same garb as your DemoKKKrat Masters???

Greg

Post where I defended burning down any shops, typical lying racist.

This is great. Justice served. No burning wood on Black Peoples’ lawns in 2023. Now, if we can just get Blacks to stop lighting whites on fire. Can you burn white people if you want to?

Took me a while to find it:

Davis told the Biloxi Sun Herald that Cox was reacting to his neighbors allegedly shooting and killing his dog. He added that his client acted “totally inappropriately.”

So why not call the cops. Why do we resort to cross burnings and racial intimidation. I swear, humans are devolving day after day. Anyone ever heard of emotional intelligence?

You tell ME; I only found out it was over the "victims" shooting his dog at about the 50th attempt.

Was the shooting of the dog legal?? Did the Police even investigate??

Of course it would have been a better option IF the Police had done their job!!! Do you KNOW if they did? In the words of the song:

"the dog up and died
after 20 years he still grieves..."

Still; the cross burning was stupid!!!

I think what we are learning in this situation is very common across all news reports; usually there are a lot of unanswered questions. We have seen it numerous times.

What happened to the criminals who brutalized and murdered the Newsoms?

How many murders of black folks do you think I could post and their murderers have NEVER been brought to the Bar of Justice.

A nut case starting fires is a concern for all neighbors.

After watching some of my neighbors getting drunk and playing with their BBQ grills, I agree.
