Okay, thanks. So the tree was on the campus.
The tree was on campus, but the reports say only a few even saw them and the nooses were removed before the students arrived. The connection of the two incidents can’t be even closely made. Racist opportunists used them to stage something else.
The only reason the incident took so much prominence is because the mother of the lead instigator, Robert Bailey, Jr., was the NAACP La Salle chapter’s president, Caseptia Bailey, and she knew the only way she could get attempted murder charges off her deadbeat son was to make the issue about “RACE” and had to resort to an incident, an idiotic prank, that occurred some months prior. If the noose incident was so offensive, a reaction was justified immediately after its occurance, not almost a year later.
She used her position of “influence” and a NAACP membership drive to inflame the black community into racial tensions just to keep her despicable son from a lengthy prison sentence.
You need to read how THEY, the NAACP, Caseptia Bailey, Katrina Wallace, and others inflamed the blacks.

“Please turn around and look at these individuals up here [police and sheriff deputies on courthouse steps]. You need to look them in the eye. Their faces are some of the same faces that some of us have seen in photographs from the 60s and 50s. They got patches, they got uniforms but we should all know, especially our young people. Please look at them and understand that with all the badges and all the uniforms, they stand for absolutely…NOTHING. Which means if there’s a body that stands for nothing then it’s on us to stand up for one another.”
And Caseptia Bailey pretends to wonder why her son sits his arse in a prison cell? She fools no one - all know he might be out for a short time - but he’ll be back. He’s accursed with “the attitude”.
