Jena 6, thoughts?

Question

Just wonderin...

and boy did I feel out of place last week at school. I mean I knew about the incident, but I didn't know that you had to wear all black. So what did I do? I wore all white...

Answer 1

Good for you. Why would you want to support a criminal act just because the perps were black?

Answer 2

Just as I suspected there is far more to this story than we have so far been told. For one thing, the "nooses in the tree" story has nothing to do with this beating incident. In fact, the nooses thing happened over three months ago and the kids were not prosecuted at the request of the school principal but they were suspended for it.

This is not a particularly racist town, it turns out. The black 16 year old about whom all the hoopla has been revolving, Michael Bell, is quite a character. He has an extensive rap sheet and was even convicted of beating one of his own female family members.

Racist town? How do you explain that Michale Bell was taken in by a white family after his own family threw him out?

There is much more to this story. When will people learn that the spin machine is in overdrive. You have to take these stories with a grain of salt.

Much more to follow.

Answer 3

I'd like to hear what actually happened. The only programs I get are the national network morning news crap and CNN.
I don't trust that any of them are giving me the full story.

I don't understand the anger over the white kids who hung the nooses not being charged. I understand being angry they hung the nooses and I think they are rotten little bigots, racists and pricks....but what should they have been charged with? I maybe am not aware of what type of law they violated (though I do think they violated other human beings and should of been expelled from school if they were not).

Maybe someone could clue me in on what exactly happened.

P.S. I am not in the U.S. so I have never had the opportunity to hear the whole, real story.

Answer 4

those 3 adult men ought to have been punished for particular purely via fact the 6 must be. yet there is particular no reason to get Jackson and Sharpton, the two maximum racist human beings in this united states of america, in contact. I agree what the three adult men did replaced into so incorrect and deserved to get their butts kicked. yet 6 on one million, that would not look an argument that 6 ganged up on one million. you are able to relax certain it fairly is doomed whilst Jackson and Sharpton and the media get entangled, there'll be no justice.
