If these kids didn’t commit a crime, why were their lives upended for two months, and why did they have to depend on a local prosecutor and the state AG to not break the law and destroy their lives?
It’s as if the prosecutors sat around for two months discussing the matter, as follows:
“I know they didn’t break any laws, but … they’re white! We can’t just let a bunch of white boys get sway with being so… white, now, can we?”
The Mizzou Two Desperados: Sean D. Fitzgerald and Zachary E. Tucker
To my legions of white communist and black supremacist readers who snort that normal white males who have committed no crimes, have nothing to fear from the law, let me introduce you to Sean D. Fitzgerald, and Zachary E. Tucker, or as I dubbed them, the Mizzou Two, who as 19 and 21-year-old University of Missouri undergraduates, were prosecuted by local authorities, and coerced into pleading guilty and being convicted, even though they hadn’t committed any crimes.

Give 'em one point for the escape.
A group of high school wrestlers who appeared in a controversial photo that some [Who? Doesn’t Reporting 101 require that one be concrete with such charges?] said depicted a lynching won't face criminal charges, prosecutors said.
The Warren County prosecutor's office said Thursday that the eight Phillipsburg High grapplers didn't commit a crime when they took a group photo around a wrestling dummy hanging from a noose.
The pic, which surfaced in February, sparked an uproar because the dummy was black and two of the boys wore sweatshirt hoods pulled into points, leading to suggestions the pic depicted a KKK-style lynching.

The eight boys, including the one who took it, were suspended from school and had their wrestling seasons cut short.
The teens insisted the photo was nothing more than an innocent dig at two rival schools, whose gear the dummy wore in the photo.
Warren County prosecutor Richard T. Burke said the decision was cleared with the state attorney general's office, and the case was now in the hands of Phillipsburg High officials.
