Banana peels seemingly make for a great headline.

A former student of the University of Mississippi pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal civil-rights crime, acknowledging that he and another man had tied a noose and a Confederate flag around the neck of a statue honoring the black man who integrated the state’s flagship university.

Jordan Samson’s post in a Facebook thread discussing protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, said “I have a tree with enough room for all of them if you want to settle this Wild West style.”

adding: Both news articles are from 2016. I linked on page one of this thread. fwiw
