State hate crimes list for 2012

February 3, 2013-old man seeking Info.

I wanted to know how many hate crime cases were brought up by people state wide. You would be surprised as I was to check out this fact. Every state must report to the record number of hate crimes in there state. Since I did not wish to view states that had no interest to me and only where I know I have families were of interest to me. These states are listed for information purposes only. If interested in your states, just ask and I will list them. This is what a retired old man does for fun!

Wynne, AR

The Wynne School Board has expelled two junior varsity football players who were accused of placing a noose around the neck of a black student. The board met in executive session Wednesday and decided to expel the two students for the rest of the semester. The Jonesboro Sun reports (http://is.gd/IAiVeH ) that it's a lesser punishment that the one recommended by Superintendent Carl Easley, who supported expulsion for the rest of the school year. Few details have been released about the alleged incident. Family members have said the white students placed a noose around the 14-year-old black student's neck, but authorities have not confirmed that account. More than 150 people attended the hearing. Many were angered by the board's decision, and Wynne police were called in to calm the crowd.
