6 black kids ganged up on a white kid and assaulted him, beating him badly. They are all being brought up on charges ranging all the way to attempted murder.
This is in contrast to a bunch of white kids hanging nooses in a tree where a black kid had been sitting.
Now, while I will agree that what these white kids did was tasteless, rude, mean and derogatory...they did not BEAT someone bloody. No physical assault took place. They did not put anyone in the hospital.
Now blacks are complaining about unfair treatment for the black kids of Jena 6.
Am I the ONLY person who does not see the MAJOR difference between what these two groups of kids did? One group was just plain, downright rude and mean. The other committed assault and battery. Last time I checked, being rude and offensive was not against the law. Assault and battery is.
