The Jena 6

[pcjohnnyb]

Maybe he beat some poor 80 year old woman in the process of stealing her purse.

No, those would be "felony-assault on the elderly".

Love all these "My baby is a good boy" threads.

Unfortunately with the online version you miss out on the staged photo of the "grieving" family. They even went so far as to publish a picture of the lead magnet @ age nine.

Sounds like a fight to me :shrug:

With 6 kids on him, if they'd wanted to kill him they would have. So murder was obviously not their intent.

If they kicked him in the head while he was out it could've killed him.

If he was already unconscious, what's the point in continuing to kick?

I'm sure they didn't check his pulse as he lay there. For all they knew he WAS dead.

I say they are animals that should be charged with attempted murder.

I'd like to go the the vigil...

with a flame thrower.

If that's the case, then I'd say he was a thug. But we don't know that.

If I had to lay blind money, I would say that the kid got in fights with the white rednecks in that town who need to bring they country ass into the 21st century.

And so what if one of the kids was 18? Was he still in high school? Then he's not an adult. You guys, I swear - I can't believe you're trying to lay all the blame on the black kid.

Depending on state law.. most states don't distinguish..

And I say they were unreasonably provoked and the white kid got what was coming to him.

Really? learn somethin new every day. Thats sad.

I'd say the response was about as unreasonable as the provocation. I still want you to bear my children, though.

Well in that case damn shame they didn't kill him.. that would have taught him!

Ideally this will teach him just as good. If one of my kids did something like that, they better HOPE the black kids got to them before I did.

Ha, i don't forsee this teaching him much though. now he will just say "i survived being jumped by those 6 black kids" and keep doing ####, but i could be wrong...

Just a minute, sister. What did the white kid who got jumped do to provoke this near-murder? You may be accusing him of the noose foolishness, and he didn't do that one.

from one of the many blogs on this case: I am from Jena too. I have biracial children in my family. Believe me, almost every article and interview is not giving the true picture of what happened. When I read these articles I think, NO WONDER people all over the world are so upset...If I didn't know better, I would be mad too. I know that at least 3 of the boys have rap sheets, this weeks Jena Times (thejenatimes.net)gave the info on Bell. I believe because of their age it has to be kept under wraps. Some of the blacks in the community are afraid of these boys. That is the truth.
And about the white boys that hung the nooses...That was disgusting. I know that one of those boys is a cocky little bully, that picks on everyone...white & black. But the boy that was knock unconcious had nothing to do with the nooses. The rumor (I said rumor, not fact) was that the "6" were targeting boys that dressed in wranglers and boots. That was Justin's only crime.
For the most part, the other things you guys are hearing about has been very twisted. I know 2 people that gave interviews and they were altered so much that it came out sounding nothing like what they said.
Now I tend to doubt everything I read in the papers and hear on the news. I guess these reporter just want to have exciting stories, it seems a couple get carried away then the others jump on the wagon.
The person that said there is no "whites only tree" was telling the truth. There are some nice shady benches that lots of black kids sit at...I don't think of them as blacks only benches, there is an area where a lot of the band students sit, I don't think there is any kind of rule..spoken or unspoken, saying that no one else is allowed to sit there or that anyone is unwelcome...kids sit where they choose to sit, usually with their friends. Don't other schools have spots where friends meet up at recess to visit?
It seems to me that the media is causing racial tension...I just don't understand why.
I think there is a hand full of blacks and a hand full of whites that are prejudice, other than that the rest of the people are just fine.
I wonder if Jena will recover from this.

I am not listening to some blogger person who could be anyone.

Like the broadcast or print media have the market cornered on honest unbiased reporting?

So based your logic, a drunk driver who kills should not be charged because it was not his or her intent???

Okay that makes sense... How about the bank robber with a gun who shoots a teller but the teller lives... Accidental wounding???

These thugs should be charged with Attempted Murder and the kid with the noose should be charged with hate crimes.. Two wrongs does not make a right.

One man's view.....

Today, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are down in Jena, Louisiana leading a protest.

Many will roll their eyes. I typically do at the theatrics of aforesaid Messrs. But there are times when it's time to take out the old whistle and blow it on good old-fashioned bigotry.

Sure it is...

I grew up in Lincoln, NE, honey, not the 'hood. Larry says there was a lot of racial crap in Laurel, too. It's an east coast thing.

...just don't say that around people from the West Coast or Chicago.

Compton, Watts, JJ...

And I thought this tread was going to be about a new movie coming out.
