I've seen it all the internet, but none of the stories get into detail.

A bunch of soon to be murderers if they keep at it someone will die.
But don't worry the NAACP will save them from jail even for murder and the Jesse Jackasson guy will help.

Some the ppl here need to get their facts straight. Jena is in Louisiana and not in Texas. There are 6 teenagers in the Jena 6, and the black kids were not tortured over a tree with nooses (3) hung from them.

Jena is the town it happened in and the 6 refers to the number of defendants

If you have problems please go check it on wikipedia.

Jena 6 attack White Kid.

5 charged w/ attempted 2nd degree murder as an adult (ages 14-17)[14 went to juvenile]
Micheal Bell [1 of 6] charge reduced for 2nd degree battery

The outrage behind it it the 6 were judged so harshly, especially compared to the "Noose" boys

White people have been ganging up and beating black
people for years and never went to jail. These boys did
go to jail for their acts, the unfairness is that they were
denied bail. Tell me where that ever happened if the
reversed had happened. Lynching is out of style, every
one gets a trial today in the USA.

My suggestion would be to research "Jena 6"....
You will see the math ???
6 Blacks beats 1 White = All 6 go free because of there color...
If ?
6 Whites beats 1 Black = ALL 6 WHITES TRIED AS ADULTS AND RECEIVES LENGTHY PRISON SENTENCES...
This is just another injustice that goes because of color.

Yahoo! News had REALLY great coverage on the subject. If you do a search on Yahoo! News, you'll come up with some really great articles that explain what happened.

They are 6 high school boys who were tortured by the white kids(nooses hung from trees) And they beat up a white kid with a sneakers, and were charged as adults.Hopefully this end fairly.

they are 6 or 7 black kids that unmercifully beat a white kid all most to-death for hanging a noose in a tree.this happened somewhere in Texas,but if you ask me we should all get alone and realize color is only skin deep,we are all the same under the skin.
