JENA 6 situation?

Question

Ok I'm sorry but I am a white male and I live in New York and in no way is this a fair trial for the black kids. Noose hangings from a tree isn't a hate crime? then if thats not then what is? There is no way to defend that the White superintendent didnt change the decision because the kids who committed the crime were white. and worst of all called it only a prank. what is funny about that at all? and then the shotgun part of it. the one black kid wrestles the gun from him so he doesnt get shot and decides to hold onto it so he doesnt die and gets charged with theft of a firearm? when i guarentee that the white kid didnt even have a permit for the gun. Then the attempted murder bull$hit story. the kid got jumped b/c he was ripping on the black kid for getting "beat up" at a party. the kid was out of the hospital the day he went in. if it were attempted murder the kid wouldve been shot, cut, or attacked with some other weapon. Idk about anyone else but this sounds shady to me

Answer 1

Ugly and non-excusable as empty noose hangings from a tree are--they're NOT hate crimes; putting somone's neck IN a hangman's noose because of his skin color IS.

The hanging nooses were NOT a prank; the students were disciplined by getting three day suspensions for it.

Are violent acts done when people disagree with the suspensions acceptable?

No. And the Law sees exactly that: six students gang beat one student. The serious charges on the Jena 6 have been tossed. If shotgun play was involved, then conviction reversal would NEVER happen, so get your facts straight. Again for the record: shotguns were NEVER involved....where did you get your story from, dude????

But don't party yet: 2nd degree battery still looms---and it can keep Mychal Bell in prison. And you really want him to stay in prison. Why???

Because if he wriggles free--something highly doubtful NO matter if the Million Man March coverge on Jena in Bell's support---PARENTS of the Jena 6 face civil lawsuits. After all, they DID damage a student.........

Oh....and here's another note of fact: Bell and his fellow five thugs ALL have histories of violence and minor scrapes w/ the law. When they blow out their 18th b-day candle, watch what happens to them 10 years from now.....likely, they'll turn to criminal activity, illegal drug addiction and dealing....and from there, either serving life in prison (after they kill somebody) or wind up on that cold stainless steel morgue table---dead from their hard criminal lives.

Blacks are far more racist than whites: It's OK for you, a BLACK man, to say the n-word....but oooohhhhhhhh----it's an insult if you hear that same word from a white person!!!

Answer 2

Don't be sorry for feeling the way you do. Thank you for saying what you did - b/c you are absolutely RIGHT! This is a bunch of BS if I've ever seen it. Never in my life did I think I would witness the same Jim-Crow style legal hatred and injustice that I read about as a young girl. And now it's happening.
It's totally shady and beyond that, it's wrong.

Answer 3

thank you someone finally outside of louisiana who has gotten the story right. I'm 40 miles from Jena and it sems like everybody else thinks the black kids did what the D.A. charged them with

Answer 4

i'm so unhappy and offended and dissatisfied. consistent with possibility this is naive, yet I was hoping circumstances like this one did no longer exist anymore. for sure there remains racism, yet this $hit is like we are back interior the '50s. i think of it is ridiculous, fairly once you seem on the disparity between how the black little ones have been charged and how the white little ones have been charged. this entire usa might desire to stand up and insist a metamorphosis of venue, and a revision of the information if it is available at this factor. White Jena electorate might desire to be genuinely ashamed of themselves. Aw, d@mn, now i'm labored up back... i'm sorry, I might desire to upload some thing after examining a number of those responses, fairly ebola in spite of. all of us might desire to be disturbed on the dealing with of those events. putting nooses in a tree isn't a stupid prank, and if it had got here approximately on your grandpa you may agree. you are able to no longer forget approximately with reference to the violence that got here approximately till now the "Jena 6" incident, which replaced into itself retaliation for a black pupil being beat up by way of a team of white pupils. Even till now that, there have been distinctive fights and incidents, alongside with a white guy pulling a shotgun on black youths in a convenience shop. They wrestled it from him and ran away, and have been later charged with theft (!). back to the incident handy, no one is asserting that each and each individual's harmless - the two white and black have finished issues they might desire to be held in charge for, little doubt. even inspite of the undeniable fact that, while the white baby have been given beat up, he spent a pair of hours interior the wellness facility and replaced into in church that night, the place his acquaintances suggested that he regarded fantastic. So how, by way of any stretch of the mind's eye, are you able to fee those 6 boys with tried 2d-degree homicide?! If the baby replaced into in a coma on existence help interior the wellness facility, i might desire to be certain how that fee might greater healthful. yet as a count of actuality that the gang of white little ones who jumped a black baby have been given basically misdemeanor attack rates, and the Jena 6 are on trial for homicide. If u.s. is definitely the equivalent, civilized society we declare to be, we can step up and say that this isn't precise. we'd desire to, or we are all in simple terms cowards and liars who placed on a pretend front approximately equality and justice for all.
