To Boycott or not to boycott?

That is the question. Atty Gen Hood reopened the Cheney, Goodman, and Schrewner (sp?) case. Remember the three civil rights workers killed when investigating the church fire? Well anyway, the case has been reopened. A man was tried for conspiracy before, but the jury was hung bc one lady said she couldn't convict a preacher. So anyway, a group like the KKK has purchased a booth at the state fair on behalf of Chillings (the man charged). A lot of people are saying they are going to boycott the fair if they don't stop the White Nationalists from setting up a booth. They cannot stop them bc they have a right to free speech. So, do you boycott or not. Personally, I prolly won't go bc it just doesn't excite me anymore. Would I boycott? I don't know. I think I would want to hear what they had to say. I'm sure I wouldn't agree with them, but I would still like to know exactly what it is they are thinking. Gov. Haley Barbour (who is prolly a member of the group undercover) said to just ignore them bc their leader "is nuts." Kenneth Stokes said he is boycotting bc the "state fair is no place to hold a KKK rally." I concur. If I did boycott, I think it would be bc my safety would be in jeopardy if I attended. Their being there has the potential to be really dangerous. One lady said she is taking her nephew to teach him a history lesson. I can see it. Would I do the same for the same reasons? Probably not.
