all this isnt about the tree....what about the white student who brandished a shotgun towards them, what about the white principal who said they would "end their lives with a stroke of a pen"...if this was 6 white kids beatin up 1 black student, this wouldnt even be a story and they would've got let off with a slap on the wrist just like they did for hangin that noose up in the tree...

Each "event" should be looked at separately by the Court and punished accordingly. The recommendation of the headmaster to expel the students who put the nooses on the tree was the correct one, and the School Superintendant was a fool to change it to a 3 day suspension. But beating people up is always wrong (revenge is no excuse), and beating someone unconscious is a serious matter (that the kid who was attacked went to a party that night is hardly relevant). It goes without saying that the law must be color-blind.

All race issues aside,it all boils down to 6 people ganging up and beating one person. They need to face the consequences of their actions. I would feel the same no matter the race of anyone involved in this. Solving conflicts with violence is never the answer.

I think the attempted murder charges were too sever.
Once they beat him unconscious, they could have easily killed him, if that was their goal.
Still, 6 of them beat one man unconscious, and he was not one of the racists who put the ropes on the tree which was supposed to be the cause of all this.
They really have no excuse for what they did to him.

It is the prosecutor's job to charge them to the maximum extent of the law. They should be tried as adults since they beat the kid to unconsciousness. That is brutality, plain and simple. Their attourneys should plead it down to assault.
However, that stupid tree should be cut down. If the whole campus is going to act like children over a stupid tree remove it.
