Not only is it surprising that this occurred on the sacred Easter Sunday, but to find that the Supreme Court ruled protections of the Fourteenth Amendment did not apply to the actions of individuals, but only to the actions of state governments is even more shocking.  The court ruled the federal government could no longer use the Enforcement Act of 1870 to prosecute actions by paramilitary groups such as the White League.  Now I can almost see why so called white people found in photographs of murdered so called black people had no fear of being identified and why other organizations such as the KKK were unopposed by government agencies. 

The more information that one has the more can be accomplished by THE ONE!
