LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Two men have been arrested for hanging a Barack Obama effigy from a tree on the University of Kentucky campus.

University police say 22-year-old student Joe Fischer and 21-year-old Hunter Bush turned themselves in Thursday afternoon. Both men were jailed Thursday on charges of disorderly conduct, burglary and theft.

Jail officials did not know who the men's attorneys were.

UK Police Interim Chief Joe Monroe says university police interviewed the men, who described the incident as a "stunt that had gotten out of hand." The effigy was found hanging from a tree with a noose around its neck Wednesday morning.

Monroe says the men told police they decided to do it after seeing reports about a Sarah Palin effigy

It's ok to hang an effigy of Sarah Palin but not Obama? The usual racial BS.

 

[LAYNFRM]

the lawyers will bring in the fact that they hung it on school property, and not on their own private property. either way, they would have been arrested since it's a black man in the noose and not a white man/woman like the one in commiefornia. unless their prints/hairs were somehow on the effigy, or someone had video of them doing it/saying they were going to do it, i wouldn't have confessed to jack ****.

Did someone hang an effigy of Sarah Palin? They better watch it. That little mama can shoot back.

 

[Bearco]

as always, it is one sided.

 

[Manimal]

people keep putting nooses on public, business, or school property...that is stupid.



Hang them in YOUR OWN YARD! The Palin hanger is on Private property.

I dont think it would matter if its on your own property..

here in lousy ana .. Public display of a noose is a crime...

Heaven forbid you put a prophet doll in it..

I posted somewhere else today about this..

Hanging a Husein Osatan maniquin will not only get you put in jail but it will anger the Masiah and you will end up in hell as well..
