FBI spokespersons said this weekend they are reviewing a white supremacist website which lists addresses said to belong to five of the six black teens accused of beating a white student in Jena, Louisiana.

The site "essentially called for their lynching," according to one agency spokeswoman on Saturday. Snip from AP item:

Sheila Thorne, an agent in the FBI's New Orleans office, said authorities were reviewing whether the site breaks any federal laws. She said the FBI had "gathered intelligence on the matter," but declined to further explain how the agency got involved.

CNN first reported Friday about the Web site, which features a swastika, frequent use of racial slurs, a mailing address in Roanoke, Va., and phone numbers purportedly for some of the teens' families "in case anyone wants to deliver justice." That page is dated Thursday.

The site in question, overthrow dot com, has been off and online intermittently -- but its cache and mirrors are easily googleable if you're inclined to observe the contents for yourself ("overthrow" plus "jena" plus "bill white" plus the n-word will get you there in a hurry). One of the mirrors is hosted on blogspot.

Editorial note: I generally don't link to websites that invite people to kill specific other people -- just seems like a bad idea -- so I'll refrain from doing so here. But you're welcome to debate that in the comments if you're so moved.

Here's a question for federal law buffs and attorneys out there: at what point does a website of this sort break federal law? Hateful or racist speech isn't illegal, per se, nor is publishing someone's publicly listed address on the internet. Many a troll would be in jail if that were the case. Is the legal question at hand whether this website specifically incites murder of the people whose purported home addresses were listed?
