I am curious if Louisiana law prohibits either the fabrication of a noose or the hanging thereof. I am looking for a specific law and don't want to sort through everyones crap opinions please.

It's legal.

No. Making a Hangman's Knot, in and of iself, isn't illegal anywhere within the US, especially since a noose isn't legally defined anywhere as a weapon (although there are some Boy Scout troops that specifically won't allow you to make those). A lot of people would get in trouble on Halloween if it was. But how you display it could be taken as a death threat against another person, which is certainly illegal if it's considered plausible that you are capable of carrying out such a threat.

They are saying the hanging of the nooses was a hate crime. It certainly is a threat and I don't doubt that there is great prejudice in that area. Prejudice is always a nasty thing no matter which way it's pointed. Hanging a noose does not involve beating any one up. Hanging nooses is an emotional crime against humanity but it doesn't involve beating the snot out of someone.

Well while I don't think there is a law against making or having a noose. There are laws that you can be charged with in the deployment of said nooses.
Criminal trespassing, malicious mischief, and I'm sure a savvy DA could come up with a few more.

Not sure about a noose law there, but I am quite sure, aggravated battery, mob action, and attempted murder are still crimes......or atleast until the reverends get done. Seems with an empty noose (while disturbing)....no one was hurt. On the other hand one student got his *** kicked by six thugs. That seems to be getting over looked.

Noose law? Ask your friendly neighborhood Klansman. I'm sure they have the technique down well.
Or maybe you plan on hanging a Cajun.
What a weird country.

i think of that the expenditures have been absurd and outrageous. regrettably racism remains usual in our society and it rears its grotesque head while situations like this ensue. the biggest issue is the actuality that the white pupils who hung those nooses weren't expelled like they might desire to have been and the black pupils who have been charged have been given the worst punishment. interior the beginning up prosecutors have been going to objective those teenagers as adults with a can charge of tried homicide. Now you tell me who have been given the greater advantageous deal. sure the expenditures have been decreased however the preliminary costs would not have been positioned into place. the certainty of the situation is that if it have been white pupils who beat up a black baby, those style of costs does no longer have been utilized to the white pupils. and that's regrettably the way it particularly is . it particularly is unhappy to be attentive to that we are no longer all taken care of equivalent.
