And I say 'men' because they're certainly old enough to know better.

Something similar happened in this flyspeck RedNeckLand town (which you'll hear a lot more about so long as I have breath) where I retired. Some teenage boys took a black high school student down to the county courthouse at midnight, put a noose around his neck, and threw the other end over a tree limb. They thought it was funny. For some reason the family moved next day, and they had come here looking for a safe place to raise their family, away from big city crime. It just makes me sick. This place prides itself on cruelty, especially towards outsiders.
