The motive for attemped murder was that nooses were put in a tree. This caused the 6 black students to seek out and attempt to kill a white student. Based entirely on race. Racism goes both ways, so does hate.

Answer this....How come anytime a black in this country doesnt like something.....Its allways about race? If this were 6 white kids that beat-up a black kid. Oh my...... There would be public outcry for a HATE CRIME. Lets face it. The black population as a whole has had a hard time getting thier act together. How much more do they need? Get over yourselves allready....

No, they were not trying to kill the boy, it was a fight. But I'm not saying that race had absolutely nothing to do with it. The whole thing isn't just about the nooses, there was a lot of build up before the fight ever happen. The boy who was beat up broght a shotgun and wasn't even charged with anything, so why isn't that attempted murder. This whole situation is bad and you wish these things wouldn't happen anymore.

I say yes this was a hate crime, but here is the catch, it was black kids jumping a white kid, if six white kids were to jump a black kid and get the same charges you wouldn't see all this garbage about race. I lived in Louisiana all my life and in my honest opinion there are more black against white prejudice then white against black. And no I am not prejudice I am just letting you know what I see.

I agree, they are one of 2 things. Either typical thugs who beat up a kid for no reason. Or he was hanging out with the kids who put the noose up and they beat him up because of that. If that is the case it is because he is white and they are black therefor they should be charged with a hate crime. But since they are black that won't happen.

Everyone has FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Sure, it was a stupid move to put the nooses in the tree,
BUT
If you start limiting freedom of speech, imagine what the government's gonna do to your rights.
The black students should be tried as adults. They knew the reprecussions / consequences.
They were trying to kill the white student. Why else would it be 6 vs. 1?

i myself do no longer think of they might desire to be charged with a hate crime. What with regard to the activities that led as much as the thrashing of the newborn? and to no longer ignore the fact that he replaced into incredibly much directly released from the ER with out severe injuries. it is a double customary interior the stunning place we call united states of america the place black and white are for sure taken care of in any different case. The putting of the noose as maximum decide to assert replaced into basically a "stupid little prank" would desire to have been seen a hate crime. What with regard to the white newborn who pulled a shot gun on between the black infants-did any costs get delivered against him? It replaced into incorrect for them to triumph over him up yet each and all of the activities that led as much as the thrashing would have nicely been prevented if college officers might have rather taken it heavily. Racism is by no skill going to flow away-yet we as a rustic rather need to locate greater proper difficulty-free approaches to handle one yet another. this is merely my 2 cents

YES!!!!!!!!!!
It was a hate crime. But you have the racists protesting and the politicians will cave in. That is the way it goes now.

Six to one odds... since when is that a "schoolyard fight"? Hate crime? I don't know. Jail time? Hopefully long enough to let ALL kids know that it is not okay to physically assault anyone!
