Threat or Free Speech?
Just returned from an interesting story to say the least. Ken Germana recently posted a sign on his property in Bonner County that reads “Free Public Hanging.” The sign, accompanied by a noose, lists the names of President elect Barack Obama, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Al Sharpton. Germana says the sign is not racist and is not a threat to the political figures. If so, then why the noose? Isn’t that a threat alone? Germana says its a simple political statement and nothing more. Even so, the US Secret Service is investigating. What do you think about the sign?
