Answer 1

"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."

Answer 2

Yes, of course they should be charged - with mass murder if legally possible. After all you when you start a fire like that you know lives could and probably will be lost, so the intent for murder is there as far as I'm concerned, like when you get in a car drunk and hit someone. Some might say they will be charged with arson and negligent manslaughter or some such charge, but I think they deserve a mass murder charge. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm in the Uk and our thoughts are with you all.

Answer 3

Legal defense just means requiring the prosecution to prove its case in court -- it doesn't mean an automatic pass.

And at least one of them, the court has already ruled that he must be tried as a minor -- not as an adult.

Attempted murder is a difficult charge to make stick -- you need to prove that they had the present intent to kill at the time they attacked. Battery is a much easier charge -- there is no real question that the attack happened, or that they had the intent to harm. The only issue is -- which of the six had that intent, and which of the six actually struck blows.

And that's what a trial needs to determine.

Answer 4

It's the Jena 6. I felt the young men who sat under the "whites only" tree were begging for trouble. The South still has problems with racism just like the rest of the US. The other parts of the country, though, are better at hiding it. It's everywhere and anyone who tells you it only exists in the South is lying. I have plenty of family and friends all over the US and they all agree that things are better than they used to be during the Civil Rights era, but now people who are prejudiced tend to find other ways of "discriminating" than the overt methods of the 1960s.

One reason white people don't unite to fight the injustice is because the African American population doesn't want the help from White people. It means they can't deal with a problem and they can't defend themselves without white help. I know that sounds horrible, but it's true. They consider white people who help them out are patronizing. I wanted to become a civil rights attorney. Two years of African American Legal History was enough to let me know my efforts would not be welcome. It would only be another white person thinking they can't take care of themselves.

Answer 5

I think Bell's previous assault charges/cases prove he knows how to beat someone within an inch of their life. So obviously he didn't mean to kill him.
BTW Bowie has been a nutcase since the sixties.
As far as standing up for white people, I think we're just tired of being called "racists" for whatever cause du jour.

Answer 6

The injustice was in charging them with attempted murder in the first place.

They DID commit a crime, but not attempted murder. The charges are trumped up because of their skin color - which is not always true, but is true in Jena, Louisiana, where the Civil Rights Movement never completely reached.

Answer 7

because if they do they are Racist. I would like to know where
the ACLU and the southern law center is because that young
man was almost beaten to death. the Jena 6 are not the
victims they are the defendents,

Answer 8

Only if the white kids that beat the hell out of that other kid a few weeks ago faces the same charge.

Are you OK with that kind of even handed justice?

Answer 9

I hope no one. The "victim" went to a school event that night and attended a "social" event afterwards. Yeah, almost killed him.

This is a little racist town in the South.

Answer 10

yes
