Man Kidnaps Woman & Forces Her to Watch "Roots": Police

This might be the strangest news story of the week.

A black man in Iowa has been accused of kidnapping a woman and forcing her to watch the TV mini-series "Roots" in an effort to make her learn more about racism.

WAVE reports:

Robert Lee Noye, 52, was arrested Monday.
A criminal complaint stated Noye forced the victim to watch the show, which is a nine-hour historical miniseries about slavery in the U.S. through the post-Civil War era, “so she could better understand her racism.”
The complaint also stated the suspect told the victim he would “kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago” if she did not sit and watch the show.
The Gazette reports Noye is charged with first-degree harassment and false imprisonment.
