Question

I mean well it is the other way around but really think about it would it be right for a black indivudial to put a white nooses in a tree and the white kids jump the black indiudial and get 20-80 years in prison?(ANSWER QUICKLY)

Answer 1

Why do racist events always bring out racist questions?

Answer 2

Let's clear up some matters that long needed to be addressed early in this controversy:

First, the noose hanging students in Jena were observed by school faculty when they did it; the "nooses" were poorly done and didn't hang but seconds in the branches before they were took down and the students rushed into the principal's office.

Same for a black student hanging "white nooses" in a tree as done in Jena high school....and same for if it were six white kids beating up a black student months later.

Black students in Jena made some hyperbole over the issue, but it wasn't that grand-scale; the next day, the principal suspended the students. Had the incident incited a race riot right then---the offending students would surely have gone to jail. This IS by legal definition why they didn't go to jail---and it was clearly explained to the students in a general assembly.

Later THAT night, a small portion of the school's administration building was torched. Arson--but yet no suspects have been caught.

The Jena 6 aren't facing 20-80 years prison time--let's get real, OK? They're juveniles, however--they DO face at least 2 to 5 years prison time, if that.

And yes: their crime is far far more severe than hanging nooses in a tree. Please note: Jena 6 aren't charged with a hate crime....but given the facts--many of which came from the mouths of the Jena 6: maybe they should.

Answer 3

Nobody is going to jail for hanging nooses in trees because unfortunately it is not a crime except for maybe vandalism.

If the white kids made up a gang of 6 and beat up some other black kid that may or may not have even hung a noose in a tree- LOCK THEM UP- IT'S WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES

Assault is assault when it's 6 on 1 you are attempting to inflict serious bodily injury.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Answer 4

No - the noose isnt what put them in jail - its the whole beating the hell out of the kid that did the damage. I think either way the person who did the assaulting should pay the price no matter the color.

Answer 5

It's not right no matter what. It only becomes a hate crime if it is aimed at a minority. So a bunch of black kids can jump a white kid and barely get into trouble but the other way around and the kids get suspended and the school gets sued.

Answer 6

Each action is viewed on its own.

Hanging a noose, with the intent to harrass or threaten, is generally a crime -- criminal threatening.

Attacking someone -- for any reason other than self defense if they actually attacked you first -- is assault and battery, which is also a crime.

Race doesn't matter.

Answer 7

jesse, al and the gang would have it protected as free speech.
dont forget, the white kid that was stomped into unconsciousness was not involved in the noose incident. he was just handy.

Answer 8

What in the heck are you babbling about?!

It's NEVER acceptable to hang people in trees, no matter what they have done. Color is NOT the issue. Do you really think that whites approve of hanging blacks? If so, please get out of the house more often...

Answer 9

i think they all should go to prison. the nooses are a threat and the people who jumped him committed assault

Answer 10

The time is excessive.

White or black max should be 5 yrs

Answer 11

nobody should be jumped or attacked for something like that. so yeah they probably would get the same time
