East Texas Teenager Attacked Over History Project
Obviously, this young lady doesn't know that in our free, diverse society, there's only one acceptable view on immigration. And apparently, only one definition of a hate crime:
It was an assignment for history class--to make a protest sign for or against an issue, and Melanie said she chose illegal immigration. Her sign read, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration." Somehow, Melanie said the sign got passed around lunch and angered a group of Latino students.
"I didn't know any of these people," she said. One young[ster], she claimed, jumped on her back and he put her in a choke hold. "We have brick walls in the middle school and he slammed my face on the bricks."
Melanie said a group of boys also threatened to rape and kill her. Eventually, the boys let her go and when she went for help, she was ordered back to class, and told she could not call her parents, she said.
The SPLC is on its way to Texas right now to denounce these young men for their intolerance and sexual intimidation. They'll get there any minute now ... almost there ...

Interesting how the "Latinos" dealt with this young lady's "protest" sign. Compare this with the way in which a Southern Nationalist deals with the barrage of attacks on his culture. While one group sees as a first resort blunt force aggressive behavior, the other looks to intelligent conversation and other redress. The Southerner defends his position while those who most need to give a defense of their's, knowing that they cannot, immediately resort to violence.
Wait...I just accidentally described Lincoln and the radical Republicans! Oops.

Thanks for putting this article up. I caught a small amount of it on the toob; but, there hasn't been any follow up around here.
