Impressive Ole Miss

^ This. Odds are, it was not somebody I associated with the university (especially considering the Georgia flag--and why would you vandalize the school you're a fan of?). But the rest of the world will just say, "There go those ignorant Southern rednecks again."

$25K reward for information. Boy...somebody is nervous as hell right now if they told anyone they did it.
My vote for the culprit: Hugh Freeze and Marshall Henderson
/kidding aside. You'd have to be a real jackass to do this and I actually do hope they catch the guys

Who will the recruit be, who turns in the perps on an official visit? You know... For the "Reward"... [/WINK]
If only idiocy would confine itself to one group. My bet is on someone not enrolled at Ole Miss.
Even if it is someone enrolled at the university...
they are the dumb cunts that 90% of our fan base hates.

So says the guys who named their new mascot "Rebel." You have a lot more than 10% of your fans who can't let go.
Edit to add: it is quite telling that you claimed only 90%. That in and of itself is crazy.

What amazes me is the people who actually got worked up about this. It's almost certainly two stupid kids (yes kids) trying to get attention and they got it. A $25,000 reward for putting a rope and a flag on a statue? If people would just lighten up and let it go idiots like these two would move on to something else.
Had the same thought. 10% of your fanbase is how many thousands of people .... WTF?
Have to echo others from the thread - this is embarrassing for the entire state, regardless of anyone's affiliation to either University.
Sell ... DM never says but implies ...
white "couple younger-looking boys" in the article. Just can't picture a couple of black kids yelling ... ‘white power’ and ‘f— n—–s’
“I came up on a couple younger-looking boys by the loading dock that were yelling ‘white power’ and ‘f— n—–s’ on my way back over towards the statue,” he said. “When I rounded the corner of (the George Street House), I noticed the rope and the flag, and it definitely showed the Confederate flag.”

Insensitive much?
Yea if only everyone could just forget about the century's of oppression and the symbols thereof that would be greaaaattttttt.
This type of hate exercise deserves to be punished and publicly discussed. The more this is vocalized and people get exposed to it the more likely they are to see how heinous the message behind these symbols is.

It's a complex scheme set up by the student paper to net 25K.
Since every mention of negative incidents on campus are some Machiavelli-meets-Galt plot by the meddling paper engineered to destroy their own school's reputation. This time it pays off. Literally.

throwing eggs at a house, rolling a tree in a yard, Saran Wrapping a public toilet to cause a mess, running around in public in a banana costume being chased by a guy in a gorilla costume, etc. These are things where people are being dumb kids and trying to get attention. They are also typically trying to be funny.
putting a noose around the neck of that statue and draping it in a flag with the stars and bars is a different level of idiocy and one that has totally different motivations than the things listed previously. I am a bit sad for you that you don't see the difference.

What I don't get is how this even made the news
If the cops or whoever discovered this display had any common sense at all or any love for OM then they would have cleaned it up real fast and moved on. That way the university, state of MS, and south in general doesn't make the news for something terrible like this. And whatever dumbass that thought he was being cool gets his prank snuffed out before it goes viral. Am I way off on thinking that just taking care of it quietly is the obvious right thing to do here?

Commercial Appeal Opines, pretty fair and balanced.

totally agree...the chancellor sending out open letters to students only legitimizes the actions and brings negative attention to the university. its a classic overreaction that was made because of their history. if this had happened at state, i would want to get to handle it "in-house" as much as possible. the university doesnt need to send out statements that this was a disgusting act....that should go without saying. find the culprits, make an example, and move on...dont blow it up and make it a bigger story than it is when you already have a tarnished record on stuff like this.
Much better article than the CL ...
Completely forgot about the 'Laramie Project' incident.
CL is now reporting that the James Meredith statue vandalism is now being investigated by the FBI as a 'hate crime.'
CL states ... He said university officials have no reason to believe the perpetrators were students or non-students. “Right now, it’s too early in the investigation to really say much as far as who did this, and why they did this,” Blanton said.
