ALEXANDRIA, La. - A Louisiana teenager who hung nooses off the back of his truck to intimidate a group of black civil rights demonstrators has been sentenced to four months in prison.....

.....Munsen had faced up to a year in prison after pleading guilty in April to a misdemeanor charge of interfering with the marchers' federally protected right to travel........

What about my rights to travel? There are locations I cannot go to all the time because the Black population is impeding my safe travel. 4 months for a prank is outrageous. He'll probably be murdered while he's in there.
