Does anyone else disagree with what is going on? This is ridiculous. I'd like to start a website to NOT support the Jena 6. and would like to know if anyone is interested in supporting THAT. This is unjust, and this is stupid. Theyre throwing out the race card... when in reality it is 6 guys beating the crap out of one guy. if it was 6 on 6 then whatever.
and yes i do realize the white people hung nooses on the trees.. they could have beat up the black people who went near their tree.. but they didnt.. they showed a sign peacefully.
so please wear white today on 9 20. in your show of support for the poor guy who got the crap beaten out of him. :)

So what if he went out and partied the same night. That doesn't mean he wasn't assaulted. Duuhhhhh. I admire him for going out. He didn't let those 6 thugs scare him into staying home.
Wearing my white today.....to a funeral. =)

What's unfair are the charges. Why attempted murder instead of assault and battery? People keep stressing that when the white guys hung nooses in the tree, no charges were filed but when the black guys jumped the white guy, charges were filed. That is because there is no law against hanging nooses in a tree. Morally wrong, yes. Illegal, no. You can only punish the deed, not the mentality. Six guys beating one guy is cowardly and dangerous and they should be tried. A couple have criminal records already. I don't hear anyone calling this a hate crime because the victim is white either. And the fact that Al Sharpton is involved totally detracts from the validity of the issue. That man is an imbecile and all he knows how to do is run his mouth.

I'm wearing green to support the little green men. : )
The white guys shouldn't have hung the nooses, but 6 against 1? The guy they beat up didn't even have anything to do with the nooses.
Mychel Bell has 3 prior batter convictions and 1 for a probation violation and he's only 17. He should get the harshest punishment for he has proven he is violent.
All this over a tree...

What if things were reversed. What if 6 white students beat one black student to near death. Civil rights activists would still be protesting in Jena, the only difference is the signs they hold would say "SEND THE JENA 6 TO JAIL FOR LIFE"

I almost wore black today, then I had heard about the whole wear black in support of these hoodlums; and accordingly decided to throw the black shirt back in the closet. It's absolutely an outrage. All of this reverse discrimination.
The blacks can rant on about how terrible the whites are, the whites remain largely impotent, yet if a white person criticizes a black, they're racist and banned from this democracy of hypocrisy circus we live in.
As for this fellow partying after being beaten, he was under medical observation for 2 hrs, blinded in one eye for 3 weeks, alleges he suffers from constant headaches; he went to his RING CEREMONY and LEFT EARLY due to pain. Wake up people. So many whites are condemning whites for having enough balls to say what those that are doing the condemning really think but are too scared to admit.

Well, I do agree partially. I think that 6 on 1 is not a fair fight and they should be punished. The bail amounts seem a little high.
I think the media has helped emphasize the race card so it is not just on group overplaying this piece.
Granted hanging a noose only hurts mentally, but getting a puffed up eye and kicked unmercifully hurts both mentally and physically. So I'd say they both are bad, just one is worse.

The 22 12 months old white guy grew to become into charged with straightforward battery and won probation. The deadly weapon that the black teenagers used grew to become right into a tennis shoe. One baby grew to become into tried as an person for tried manslaughter. Come on, Justin Barker grew to become into required to pass to a well being midsection as a precautionary degree. He went with acquaintances to a school functionality that nighttime and grew to become into positive. This grew to become right into a severe college combat. ought to the 6 be punished? sure they might desire to yet permit’s get real, did they actually attempt homicide? If sure, why weren’t the white teenagers and adults who attacked the black pupils arrested and tried as adults for a similar element. Their deadly weapons have been bottles. So we could think of ... it particularly is a unfavourable weapon.... a bottle???? or a tennis shoe????

"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."
