they are black and shouldn't be prosecuted. Even if racism is present in that community, does this give the Jena Six (or anyone who is black) a free pass to do what ever they want. I’m not sure what he is protesting for, or against.
I never understand why Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson get involved in these things, or rather, I don’t know why he dose not denounce the original crime.

The NAACP sure seem to think so.
Yep a very big difference between a rope in a tree and a boy beaten till he was unconscious and beyond for what a word if that.
The boy had blindness and a swollen head and still has headaches which of course a doctor can't determine the cause and yet grown people can't understand why they want these poor innocent jena 6 locked up.
If it were me or my kid I'd lock them up and everyone here knows they would.
Even Martin Luther King 3rd. said punishment of some sort should be in order for the six defendants.

Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson seem to be racist, they had no business going there to start a riot, and i think that is exactly what they want to do , not to mention the publicity they get from all the media, and if they were so concerned about the boys, why can't they post bail for them? I/m sorry but all this racist crap has got to stop! unless you are over the age of 70 you don't owe anybody an apology for the slavery that went on, its not our fault! so i wish these people would give it a rest and move forward.!!!

they're taking part in the race card for each thing seem on the Obama administration, no longer basically the race card however the blame activity. Racism nonetheless exists yet each and every time you turn around somebody is taking part in the race card. I advise its nuts. White people have given into this to plenty and we cant even show satisfaction in being white or we are racists, yet yet they have black history month, hispanic month think of the outcry if we got here out with white history month. no longer basically that i think of we are greater divided as a rustic now than we've been in the past. Al Sharpton is rather a racist yet i think of even Barack Obamanuts is to a pair quantity to.

As Sharpton is a "BLOW HOLE"....
Hanging nooses is a STUPID, BACKWOODS, IMMATURE, RACIAL VISUAL ASSAULT, and any other definition that equals just plain stupid.
BUT, beating someone within an inch of their life, is just that.
They "Ganged" up 6 to 1, which sorry, is not uncommon, it'd never be one on one, and pulverized this kid. An @$$ whoopin', is one thing, beating someone till they are almost dead is another. Who the hell would let anyone get away with that no matter what color they are...Al Sharpton is EXACTLY why "Riots" occur, he helps them occur. He is sort of black, only goes to the "ghetto" when he wants to be on TV, but lives in Beverly Hills!! He is nothing more then a publicity hound, who USES the black people to stay wealthy!!!
When those 5 black animals tortured, raped, sliced, and then set on fire those two young people from Tennessee, do you see all us Whitey's protesting? NO.....Why. because we KNOW it is disgusting, but we pray our judicial system takes care of Animals like that! If it'd been 6 white guys who beat a black kid almost to death, except for mental cases, us white people would be pissed too!!!! But we don't have a white Al Sharpton trying to stir up unnecessary crap!!! He's a Shmuck!!!!

CHARGE THEM! It has nothing to do with RACE! Actions speak louder than words! The white kids might be guilty of bigotry but the black kids should have been responsible enough to realize that attempted MURDER is punishable by law! Al Sharpen is an idiot and these people that follow him are even more ignorant b/c they don't even realize that he is using them for a political platform. Maybe if people actually read a book that would educate themselves about law!

"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."

They want charges to be the same as for the white boys involved. But Sharpton has no credibility. Remember the Duke case when he said they were all guilty and should go to jail. He was wrong. They get involved in these things to keep their names and faces in the news.

Yeah that is what has me so pissed off...NO WHERE have I heard that fat boy sharpton say that these punks are innocent. The point is that it took 6 of these punks to attack another kid!! They could have killed the kid and THATS why they were charged with attempted murder. Now I dont agree that they should have been charged as adults. But I am sick and tired of everytime something like this happens ...out comes the race card!! If anything....the main problem today is reverse racism!!
