James Meredith is now a respected author and lecturer, who frequents the Ole Miss campus all the time. Ole Miss is still dealing with the repercussions of his admission in 1962. Not because the university is light years removed from all that from a diversity standpoint, nor because the Center For Southern Culture exists on campus to promote racial reconciliation. But because the intent of putting a noose around that statue was to say, "Meredith should be hung and f*** him." I think those six months in prison will give this punk a lot of time to reflect on the concepts of respect for others and civil behavior in a heterogeneous society. I think this redneck from Georgia got off light.

So this kid deserves jail time for a misdemeanor because Ole Miss has a dark and sordid history regarding race relations. That seems fair.

I seriously doubt that, it simply will be a message to others who are like minded.
