Kids get into fights all the time! But to get 22 years and lose the opportunity to go to college for some dumb school fight? And what about the kids who hung the nooses in the tree? It's so easy for others to brush that action off if none of their family members were ever lynched. (Louisiana has had the most lynchings in the HISTORY of the United States). What they don't tell you on some news stations is that some of the same Black students were beat up days prior at a party by some Whites. What they don't tell you is that the White boy who got the concussion kept racially taunting those same Black kids about being beat up at the party. And after he got the concussion he was shortly released from the hospital and went on to school that evening. What they don't tell you is that some Black kids in Jena had guns pulled on them by White ADULTS numerous times for nothing, and they got arrested. This is what happens ALL THE TIME in Jena. I don't condone the children's actions, but at what point are Black kids expected to get use to this type of treatment? A Black student asked the principal for permission to sit under the campus tree! I'm sorry, but that says a lot. It just amazes me that this is the same America that Blacks and Whites are going to war for. And if you think that there's no injustice in this incident, than imagine that it was your child spending 20 years in jail for A SCHOOL FIGHT. I signed the petition and I am certainly going to donate money towards the defense of these KIDS.

Google for central Louisiana TV station websites; which will likely carry live streaming video of this unimpressive intimidation attempt aimed at white jurors, led by racial antagonist Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton. ( You might find a Google search for Tawana Brawley quite interesting, too ).
ALL Black America can converge on Jena--and Jena WILL remain untouched should the Jena 6 ALL be found GUILTY.
Jena welcomes Jena 6 supporters. Welcome to Louisiana.

It's funny how many negative comments are made on the internet. None of the comments would be said if they were at the protest!
