Once again we see the stupidity of Rev Sharpton rushing to the aid of criminals and screaming... RACE!!! Some white kids hung some 6 inch nooses in a tree...they were suspended..of course they were I would have suspened them as well...should they go to prision for LIFE...common sense say's hell no. Then we have a white kid beaten nearly to death by black kids....this is simple folks...can we get REAL...Prosecute them to the fullest EXTENT of the law and as adults. Let's make this simple: Kids hanging little strings in a tree=Quilty=Suspension!!! Beat another kid nearly to Death=Prosecution=Serious Jail time!!! I was just watching the morning news and they are expecting up to 50k people in Jena a town of 3k....they are bring their O.J. Style of justice with them...the youths are black... so you must acquit!!!
Oh now watch me be called a Racist for DARING to disagree to the Left-Wing Black View Point..........you are about to see more twist and turns than a can of worms...
watch!!!

The Queen: Where do we start with you. 1st Hate Crime: If we are talking hate-crimes can we start with Rappers who bash white-people and encourage blacks youths to kill Police??? Talk about your hate crimes. Placing a little rope in a tree is NOT a hate crime....that's what the court has ruled...you need to read Hate Crime laws to understand what your talking about

I just watched him state is was NOT about race just equal justice under the law. This might be the only time on record that I will agree with him on something. Sharpton stated bad behavior is not to be excused BUT if two sets of people commit the same crime, BOTH should face similar charges.
Let's get a few things into perspective.
1) Hanging a noose is considered a FELONY hate crime- Federal charge- white kids got a suspension- no charges filed
2) Kid with a gun on school property a day before the beating- nothing done not even a suspension- white kid- no charges filed
3) The white 17 year old that the black kids were charged with attempted murder had a black eye, lost 2 teeth and was a party that SAME NIGHT a few HOURS after the so called beating almost to death (your words). At first I thought he had been in hospital, broken jaw, internal injuries requiring surgery to keep him alive etc, all the things associated with attempted murder. His own PARENTS stated he had gone to a party a few hours after his beating. A charge of aggravated assault or battery could be understandable but attempted murder?- get real
4) No charges filed against the 4 WHITE kids who beat 2 BLACK kids that same night at the same party- kids who had nothing to do with beating earlier.
Equal justice under the law.
You are comparing apples to oranges. This has nothing to do with O.J. Do some research BEFORE you make yourself look like an idiot- not a racist one- just an idiot

As I sent to you ajm in my response to your private comments to me:
" As you wish"
http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/civilrights/statutes.htm#section14141
Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241
Conspiracy Against Rights
This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).
It further makes it unlawful for two or more persons to go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with the intent to prevent or hinder his/her free exercise or enjoyment of any rights so secured.
Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to ten years, or both; and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years, or for life, or may be sentenced to death.
Hanging a noose is considered a form of intimidation and falls under this statute. Hanging ot the noose took place on SCHOOL PROPERTY!!!! Justify that!!!!
Do you even understand that aggravated assault and/or battery can result in jail time- up to 5 years. I see no problem with them being charged as such.
Why do you think therefore that the LA Court of Appeals overturned the case of the only one tried and convicted of attempted murder? A teen who was judged by an all white jury? Where was one of his peers on the jury? No where to be seen.
BTW put a piece of rope around anyone's neck from some height, say like a tree limb, and see whether or not it is considered a "little" piece of rope.
Rappers- they are a totally different story from this one but since you want to go on a tangent- FINE!!!! They need to be put in their place too and the way to do it is not to buy their records. Also tell that to your white brethren who are no better when they themselves go out and buy the offensive rapper tripe and blast it on their radios.
As initially stated above- no one says they should get off scott free but make it equitable.

You guys are insaine!!!!!! hanging a "little rope" ?!?!?! Do you realize the significance behind that action???? Its like your telling me that you hung my ancestors but showing me a noose is just a joke???
These kids this kid wasnt beaten inches away from his life.. First of all he started the fight by tell another boy that he and others beat his "black" friend up at a party and they would do the same to him...
Ok... so you have a fight...
Previously on December 1, at a nearly all-white party, a couple of blacks students (invited by some of their white friends) tried to enter, but people at the door prevented their entry and a 22-year-old white man unexpectedly punched Robert Bailey as other whites on the scene also threw punches, kicks and threw beer bottles, which forced the luckily still-conscious Bailey and his friends to leave. This is the beating Justin Barker was mocking Bailey about.
The 22 year old white man was charged with simple battery and received probation.
The deadly weapon that the black kids used was a tennis shoe. One kid was tried as an adult for attempted manslaughter.
Come on, Justin Barker was required to go to a hospital as a precautionary measure. He went with friends to a school function that night and was fine. This was a high school fight. Should the 6 be punished? YES they should but let’s get real, did they really attempt murder? If yes, why weren’t the white kids and adults who attacked the black students arrested and tried as adults for the same thing. Their deadly weapons were bottles.
So lets think ... which is a deadly weapon....
a bottle????
or a tennis shoe????

What are you talking about? I can't help, but to laugh at you because OBVIOUSLY you have not lived in the REAL world for very long. I do feel that violence NEVER solves anything and they should not of beat the boy up, but have you seen the pictures, HE WAS NEVER NEAR DEATH!! COME ON, 6 on 1, if they wanted to kill him they definitely could have. The boy had a swollen eye and a few bruises and VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER, but these charges are outrageous!!! High school fights happen ALL the time where people be more messed up than that boy was and they never face up to 22 years in jail!!!!!!! Please get educated and get your facts straight because the young boy was never near death, HE WENT TO A SOCIAL EVENT THE NIGHT AFTER THE FIGHT! He was clearly ok, these charges are ridiculous.

It's insane. It's reverse racism, the sad part is it is largely backed by whites. Whites discriminating against themselves, goes to show the radical sides of the right and left both lead to oppression.
Those Jena 6 should go to angola. Oh, and by the way, only time can tell; but I doubt al sharpton or jesse jackson will get 50,000 to show. I remember when Jesse Jackson proclaimed he was going to bring busloads of new orleans residents down to help clean up the city-he was barely able to fill 8 (can't remember how many exactly) up, and only around 3% of those that did come were actually from new orleans.

Hospital officials have stated he had a very good chance of dying. Not from the beating, but blood loss. So yes attempted murder is technically the correct charge here. Hanging a 6 inch noose in a tree is not a crime in the state or on the federal level. Now is it stupid yes. Does he deserve to be punished of course, but beating him to near death not so much. A good beating, but you have to know when to draw the line.

Jena 6 means that blacks can be just as--if not more--racist than whites. Racist blacks AND whites will ALWAYS carry resentful grudges and differences not only of themselves, but how the Law is interpeted. Just as we have armchair football quarterbacks, we have armchair lawyers.
Hanging nooses in a tree is NOT a felony. Putting one's neck in a noose because of their skin color--due to the hatred aimed at them--is, pretty much. Hence, hate crime.
Six black boys beating up one white boy because of his skin color IS a hate crime. Jena 6 are lucky they're juveniles. And they were given fair due process by having their adult criminal charges of 2nd degree attempted murder reduced to 2nd degree battery.
The Law does NOT care who said what to whom. Bottom line: the Jena 6 broke the law by committing their savage act.....and yes, it IS a hate crime and they face going to prison for it. Just as six white boys beating a black boy would face the same.
Racist blacks don't see it that way, however. They feel the Jena 6 should be excused and set free, because black on white crime--to them--is permitted; it's an extension of THEIR hatred of whites. Much like watching a martial arts movie, where we put ourselves in the hero's place--and throw down on injustice by violence.
Racism is a wicked mix of cultural fact and bitterly twisted social views; the latter first begets intolerance, which evolves into hate, anger.....and eventually--if control is lost-- violence....and let things fly hard enough.....the trail ends in death, prison (decades, "life" or death penalty: your pick)--or both.
Jena 6 are juveniles, darlings who embraced violence--knowing they'll get clean records upon their 18th birthday. If they don't see prison now, they will later--oh, trust me....and likely someone will have to be hurt for life or die for it.
Which brings up the final point: five Jena 6 are free; one still in jail. Why? Quite likely, Bell--the jailed Jena 6--most likely has violently acted and lashed out during his crossbar motel stay; it's likely Mr. Bell faces security risk charges he brought on himself, likely due to his lack of control.
The Jena 6, like ALL racist black people, are their own worst and deadly enemy. All one has to do is watch the latest "gangsta" murder of the day on TV news to prove THAT point. But try to get a racist black to accept that fact---and they can't.....and likely, they never will.
