When I was lad who lived in Albert Lea, the local sheriff and police would not have even momentarily allowed a group of teenage boys of any race to hurl rocks during a parade into a crowd. I am incredulous and disappointed that the Assistant County Attorney (apparently the County Attorney is too busy to enforce the law) could not find one witness in the crowd of parade goers to file assault charges, disorderly conduct, etc. Kids, it's what a good attorney learns to do to do away with troublemakers.
These kids have a citizen's right to not agree with the sign, they do not have the right to go through life without someone offending their delicate sensibilities and MORE IMPORTANTLY, there is no constitutional right to attack or stone someone for having an opinion you don't like. (See the county commissioners wasting taxpayer money on a new courthouse against the public wishes - you have bigger problems in Freeborn County than ideas and some of the biggest problems hold public offices at the courthouse - no one liked that and not a single commisioner had rocks hurled at them)

On No further charges expected from rock throwing at parade
