Threats against Obama spark nationwide hate activity
A string of threats and hostile signs target Obama from Idaho to Maine, including a “free public hanging” offer in Way, Idaho, and a pool soliciting bets on when Obama might be attacked. Civil rights groups report racist graffiti near NC State University and online forums show rising white supremacist chatter since Election Day. Security experts note novelty of a black president fuels heightened hostility, with several plots thwarted or deemed nonviable.

Judge reviews restraining order over LHS stadium project
In a crowded courtroom Judge Malone weighs a restraining order against Lawrence High School expansion plans. Schneider argues the city misclassified the permit for a stadium with bleachers and parking. District attorney Finkelder cites potential harms and costs if delay persists, while Toni Wheeler defends the broad use of the site for band, PE, and graduation events. Malone will review evidence over the weekend and rule early next week.
