A Human Solution

This is (just one reason) why humans should not be permitted to live on this planet.

The town of Jena, Louisiana, has been embroiled in a racial conflict since a group of black high school students sat under a shade tree on the school grounds that white students had apparently decided belonged to them. After the black students sat there, two nooses were hung from the tree's limbs, sparking fights which ended in one white student injured and six blacks on trial for attempted murder.

The situation is still contentious, so the new school board this year decided what was needed - a year after the incident occurred - was to cut down the tree.

Sure, destroy the tree that was only there gracing the environment, cleaning the air and providing shade. Fercrissakes.

Grrrrrrrr.
