What do u think about the jena 6 case?

Question

if u dont know what im talking about read this. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/14/jena.six/index.html

Answer 1

I think anyone who ambushes someone 6 to 1 is intending to kill. Two wrongs do not make a right, and anyone who says differently is mistaken. What the white kids did was very wrong, and racially motivated, but that does not justify the attempted murder of someone. The law is the law, the Jena 6 broke the law and should be punished to its fullest extent. If the situation were reversed everyone would expect 6 white kids to get the same punishment.

Answer 2

The Jena 6 have already admitted :

1) They allowed rage/anger to build up towards WHITES for months.

2) They lost control of their anger/rage--and beat one WHITE student--because he was white.

The Jena 6, all juveniles, were handed ADULT charges of 2nd degree attempted murder; FAIR DUE LEGAL PROCESS intervened and the adult charges were tossed. The six now face charges of 2nd degree battery---and they still face serious prison time.

The Jena 6 feel the hangman's noose display--an incident that happened months at the high school MONTHS BEFORE the beating justifies their need for revenge; excusing their savage act. They want to be found INNOCENT. And they hope the march set for September 20th will put fear and racial pressure amongst white jurors--pressure they hope will set them free.

Racial antagonist Al Sharpton--who came into fame years ago, by his involvement in hoaxing an ugly racial rape / beating of then 15 year old TAWANA BRAWLEY, accusing rouge police officers of the crime---is leading the Jena 6 support rally/ march. Sharpton's Tawana Brawley hoax nearly ignited violent racial riots in the town. Sharpton paid serious $$$$ to wriggle free from legal prosecution. Despite his pleas for civilized calm, Sharpton seeks racial chaos to fuel his fame.

My take on the Jena 6? All six are juvenile criminals.

NOTHING justifies or excuses violent gang beatings on ANY person!! If Sharpton wants to bring in the race card, then the Jena 6 ARE guilty of a HATE CRIME---something that should guarantee years prison time.

In the Jena 6 matter--it is BLACKS that have been exposed as the RACISTS. Jena 6 support condones and advocates reverse racism and violent crimes.

Answer 3

the concern with Jena 6 is that exterior human beings and media misrepresented it as a race situation. this is a school risk-free practices situation. I paintings at a destructive, rural severe college the place if pupils get into actual altercations, we've them arrested and record costs against them regardless of their race. that's because of the fact recently, young toddlers (boys in specific) think of no longer something of thrashing the snot out of somebody and only getting a slap on the wrist. confident, the noose incident became into stupid and insensitive and became into dealt with the foremost effects the faculty had available. Beating a student subconscious by ability of 6 pupils is risky and existence threatening. We had a baby die some years in the past from a single freak blow by ability of one student on yet another. the two young toddlers have been black, so no one made a race situation of it. we will not shop minimizing college violence by ability of utilizing race as a crimson herring.

Answer 4

They should prosecute those kids to the fullest extent of the law for battery and assault. They'll get off just becasue they are black. Just like OJ Simpson. Why don't blacks start thinking independently instead of just getting everybody together to complain. Do something about their own situations. While the rest of us, all races, are out making a living, they sure do have a lot of time to protest. Quit listening to people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They have their own agendas and are lining their own pockets. They are the biggest biggots in the world, in really nice suits. Name calling is not a crime, beating people up is. Everybody has to live with name calling. It's not nice but it's a fact of life for just about everyone walking the face of the earth. Check the statistic for people in prision. A huge percentage of them are black. Oh I forgot, people in prision are all innocent. What a joke. I'm embarrased to say, I live in Louisiana. It's become a state of reverse discrimination. I think I'm going to move. There is no pride in the place you live here. Everyone has to be afraid they might get beaten, robbed or worse for expressing their opinion.

Answer 5

Six people beats up on one..ropes hanging from a tree,
for a small town, Jena La. can cash in on the thousands
of dollars brought in by thousand 'tourists' comming to town
led by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton......Wonder who
will represent the 'honkie' who got beat up!

Answer 6

I think that the boys being charged with attempted murder is going way too far. The boy that was beat up got out of the hospital the same day! I believe that the boys should not get any jail time but maybe community service.

Answer 7

"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."
