The great-great grandfathers of these hoodlums, the men who actually fought the Civil War for the South and suffered just as much in Reconstruction would shed real tears if they learned about this, and would take their disgusting descendants to the woodshed to teach them a lesson. They fought, risking their lives and everything they valued for principles - principles that we are free to accept or reject - but wanton cruelty is simply not one of those values. Shame.
