"With a stroke of my pen I can make your life go away"
There are rallies at a lot of colleges throughout the US, find one if you're not a college student. A rally starts at my College at 2pm

No one is saying that what these kids did was right in any way. What we are saying is you cannot charge them with attempted murder for beating someone up, who life was never ever close to ending. He left the Hospital 2 hours after being seen, he attended the ring dance later that evening... An attempted murder charge is for someone who critically injured and wounded someone and brought them within inches of death!!

The point is that the District attorney felt it was up to him to write their lives away with the stroke of his pen, but yet keep letting white offenders off with probation who commit the same crimes as these 6 young men.

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 too.
Nope I'm not a racist just confused as to why they a white boy getting beaten means nothing while a rope in a tree which hurt no one physically is more important.

Any other white people wanna join me in a march for the white boys' rights? What do you think would happen?

six boys brutally beat one boy. and the only reason it made national news is because of the races involved. The one boy beaten up landed in hospital with serious injuries...there can be no justification of such brutality. Yet thousands scream for justice for the six that perpetrated the crime. It isn't justice they are screaming for tho' it is leniency. Sorry, I think those six boys need to pay for their crime, and I don't give two hoots about the color of their skin.

Last I heard they weren't being charged with attempted murder anymore so now what's your point?

What the heck? Blacks are rallying in favor of the racially motivated guys who beat up a white kid?
Reverse racism in action. Unbelievable.

because it, like most other towns and cities throughout the world, has its share of bigoted, ignorant, and violent people of all races.
