The White Tree incident
In your article concerning this incident you list that there were 2 nooses found on the tree.  However, most news websites claim there were 3 nooses (CNN and The Toronto Star)

 

 Apparently the reason some people are so eager to claim it was two nooses rather than three nooses is because traditionally, in the Klan, the hanging of three nooses stands for "K - K - K."  

 The timeline published by the Jena Times—which uses much non-neutral wording—says that there were two nooses.  My default assumption would be that a newspaper is a reasonable and generally NPOV source.  From it's own website, the Jena Times appears to be small operation (primarily by writer/editor/publisher Sammy J Franklin since January 1, 1968).  Does anyone know more about Franklin, the paper's past, and/or its position in the community? — • TALK • 

It should also be noted that washington claims there is no relation between the noose incident and the attack.  source: http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=80&pid;=&sid;=1254410&page;=2  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.86.92
