Did you know this about the Jena 6 case?

Yep a very big difference between a rope in a tree and a boy beaten till he was unconscious and beyond for what a word if that.

The boy had blindness and a swollen head and still has headaches which of course a doctor can't determine the cause and yet grown people can't understand why they want these poor innocent jena 6 locked up.

If it were me or my kid I'd lock them up and everyone here knows they would too.

Nope I'm not a racist just confused as to why they a white boy getting beaten means nothing while a rope in a tree which hurt no one physically is more imprtant.

It's all very complicated, it's not just some random beating of kids. It was blown to porportions by the law system. While the kids were wrong for attacking the man, the kids were acting for a purpose that they felt they had been wronged. The incident was still on school grounds. The kids should have been suspended or expelled as any other "student" would, not sentanced to 5-15 years in prison for acting against a racial slant done by this man.

You say that the men were wrong but if a black man went up to your house and put KKK hats on your front lawn, would you not be offended. You say the black men should be convicted but what about the white individual that was let off without any consequence. Don't you think that our legal system should do something about that or is it just fine? Ignorance should have consequences just as acting bluntly. That's the purpose of the Jena 6 march. If this had been 5 white men do you think they would have gotten such high sentances? Do I need to show examples of when they havn't? I'll let you think about that.

the undertaking with Jena 6 is that exterior human beings and media misrepresented it as a race difficulty. it rather is a college secure practices difficulty. I artwork at a unfavorable, rural extreme college the place if pupils get into actual altercations, we've them arrested and record costs against them regardless of their race. it somewhat is because of the fact presently, youngsters (boys specially) think of no longer something of thrashing the snot out of somebody and in basic terms getting a slap on the wrist. sure, the noose incident improve into stupid and insensitive and improve into dealt with the main efficient consequences the college had available. Beating a scholar subconscious by ability of 6 pupils is risky and existence threatening. We had a toddler die some years in the past from a unmarried freak blow by ability of one scholar on yet another. the two childrens have been black, so no one made a race difficulty of it. we gained't save minimizing college violence by ability of utilizing race as a crimson herring.

"Not only is there almost no media coverage of the Black violent hate crimes against Whites, but in high profile cases when Blacks are prosecuted for heinous crimes against innocent Whites, the White victims are ignored and the Black criminals are turned into “real victims” by the media.

Nothing more clearly illustrates this point than what has occurred over the past year in Jena, Louisiana and the orgy of hatred that Jena has suffered. today, September 20, the town has been invaded by thousands of thugs like Al Sharpton who seek to make violent Black hate criminals such as Michael Bell and the rest of the so-called “Jena Six” into heroes. Even worse the entire White population of the town is facing a media lynching by being labeled racists who are unjustly persecuting Black young men.

Michael Bell, who has been convicted of four previous violent crimes, (a fact scarcely revealed by the media), led a group of six Black students to attack and unmercifully beat a White Student at Jena High School in what can only be described as a vicious hate crime. Motivated by racial hatred, the six Blacks attacked one lone White student, Justin Barker. They stomped and kicked him to unconsciousness and continued to kick him and stomp him as he lay helpless. The attack could have easily have taken his life if others had not intervened. Only by the grace of God did he survive.

To show the insane bias of this whole case, just imagine if the facts were reversed.

If a gang of six Whites motivated by racial hatred and led by a White with four previous violent-crime convictions had attacked a lone Black student, kicking and stomping him into unconsciousness, would there any concern that the leader and the other White gang members could be charged with aggravated assault? Would not there be national demands to charge the White attackers with the most serious of federal civil rights violations and hate crimes? White leaders from all over the country, even the leaders of the local town of Jena, would not be defending the White attackers, they would be condemning the attacks and calling for the harshest of punishments allowed by the law.

As far as the Media are concerned, oh yes the supposedly unbiased media, they would be interviewing the Black victim on every TV talk show across the land, discussing his fear, his pain, his suffering. They would be interviewing his crying relatives and friends. They would not be voicing any fear that the White attackers would be treated too harshly. No, they would be demanding the harshest of penalties.

Federal officials from the President on down would be calling for additional serious charges of federal civil rights violations. But you see, in the America of 2007 Whites are no longer deemed to have any “civil rights.”

When a lone White kid is beaten savagely by a gang of six hate criminals, the media is only concerned about how the Black attackers are being treated too harshly. And if you are waiting for civil rights charges to be filed against the Black attackers who violated the civil rights of the boy they almost beat to death, don’t hold your breath.

The entire Jena scenario and the coverage of it by the media show once again that it is not the people of Jena who are racists. By voting for me and by demanding justice in this case, they have shown rightly that they believe in fairness to all and that White people are now the real victims of racism in America. Once again it is shown that we must have advocates for our rights and heritage just as any other group is permitted to do so.

May the District Attorney and the people of Jena stay strong and never give in to those who seek take away their rights of life and liberty as guaranteed by the United States Constitution."

And if all the jurors would have been black, they would have said it was racial. It sounds like one of those cases of damned if you do, damned if you don't. I hate that its that way, its a shame the way the country is going. No one is never happy, everyone is out to get everyone else. Its sad really!

All people are asking for is that they be charged with and given appropriate sentences. Few people believe they should get off without a conviction of some sort.

Just a suggestion, you should work on your grammar and spelling if you are going to call others stupid. EDIT: I was not saying that grammar or spelling were prerequisites for discussion on Yahoo. I was just commenting on it because you chose to call a list of other people stupid.

When I read about the case my first thought was that there will be a lot of presumptuous white people posting ignorant, arrogant questions and answers in Y!A politics.

I wonder when our country will face the undeniable fact that blacks and latinos receive harsher sentences than whites for committing the same crime.

Bell is a candidate for the electric chair

this is all for the courts to decide not the "court of public opinion"
