Three University of Mississippi students have been suspended from their fraternity house and face possible investigation by the Department of Justice after posing with guns in front of a bullet-riddled sign honoring slain civil rights"
I thought the left supported freedom of speech. Guess NOT!
The "left" has zero to do with this if Ole Miss, MS. Officials or the DOJ are looking into it.
You can't get more "Right" then those orgs.
The question posed here was why the Right won't glorify and employ these Patriots, being as they dedicated a day to the same type of Actions.

That photo did give those boys the freedom of speech to claim their guilt of vandalism to a memorial of a lynched child.
so if I get a picture of you in front of a burned down house, that’s proof you burned down the house?
If I were standing next to the burned down house still holding the gasoline container and a box of matches while smiling, I am sure it would be submitted into evidence at the trial.
Those boys put out a photo of themselves at the scene of a vandalism crime while holding weapons that are capable of committing such vandalism. I suppose investigators could pick up the spent bullets there and compare them to their riffles to see if they are a match.
Another occasional thing among stories like these is when the involved people might say something along the lines of "We had no idea this sign or statue had such significant historical importance". Uh, I call BS on that quote in certain situations.

The drama on this thread is getting boring. It's the same thing every single time:
Use words you don't know the meaning to because they sound scary.
Accuse the person(s) of a crime when even the Dept. of Justice doesn't know if they did a crime or not (because they don't work on assumptions in cases like this).
Screech that it was "threatening" despite the fact that it was posted on a private account, not out in public, spread around, handed out, sent off to for all to see.
The clutching of pearls from those trying so hard to prove that they aren't racist is so tired.
They have the right to take that photo that displays their character.
The person who had access to the private account and then snitched - I don't have a whole lot of warm feelings for that person, either. No one likes a snitch. Nonetheless, they have the right to "bring it to your attention Ole Miss".
The school has the right to investigate the matter.
Everyone should be prepared for backlash when they do things like this, including the snitch.
But the backlash should include facts only, not someone's fantasy fiction that they are making up in their heads to make sure that everyone is very aware that they are NOT racist!
These guys will never be able to creep so far into White Southern society as to never come into contact with a Black or White person who is not repulsed by that picture. They will even be shunned by White people who share their sentiment but for political, social or business reasons are not so dumb as to broadcast that sentiment to the world for all eternity.
