And while Shabazz makes a point – there is a difference between “terrorist organizations” and “hate groups” – it seems he's admitting to being a hate group. “Nothing like the KKK” – - I'm sure MSU YAF could say that too. I take it that you condemn Black Panthers and Shabazz since they are on the SPLC hate list.

Still, Shabazz's group chanted “Chanting “No Justice! No Peace!”" according to your rendition.  That sounds awful close to a threat of violence if they don't get their way.  Threat of violence is a key element of terrorism.

While I strongly condemn the idea of leaving nooses around as jokes, I think the Prosecutor probably got this one right.  There's enough back-story to suggest there was no racial motivation here (Halloween, chemistry lab – rubber noose, the guy actually came forward which, as Doll points out, was hugely courageous).  Shabazz is on a witch-hunt, designed to attract attention and build his cadre of self-perceived victims.
