Look at the comments under the story, Jesus Christ I hate some people.

I'm just glad this has gotten so much media attention, otherwise it would probably end up very differently.

Any group be they white, black, red, yellow or purple who sucker punch a single unarmed individual and then proceed to kick the living shit out of them, are reprehensible fucking cowards.

The noose thing was obviously deeply uncool but apparently this kid who got the crap kicked out of him had nothing to do with it.

Spud don't care who you are, if you try some shit like this on school property you immediately forfeit yer right to be there.

All that sed, this was aggravated assault and not attempted murder and therefore these kids should not have been sent to adult jail.

Hopefully, somebody somewhere learned sommat important from this "Jena 6" debacle.

A good "bad example" so to speak.

Be Well.

It's not over yet.
Retried as juveniles still looms.

The six accused of attempted second-degree murder are black and attacked a single white student after a week of intimidation between the two groups, including the one who was assaulted.[3] Intimidation cited includes an off campus incident, in which a white student responded to threats by brandishing a gun. Black students allegedly wrestled away the gun and were then held in custody and charged with theft when they refused to return the gun, while no charges were made against the white student.[4]


Well well, all may not be as it seems.

Gee...I wonder why they wouldn't give the gun back.

On the night of Thursday November 30, 2006, a still-unsolved fire burned down the main academic building of Jena High School.

On Friday night, December 1, a black student who showed up at a white party was beaten by whites. On Saturday, December 2, a young white man pulled out a shotgun in a confrontation with young black men at the Gotta Go convenience store outside Jena before the men wrestled it away from him. The black men who took the shotgun away were later arrested; no charges were filed against the white man.

On Monday, December 4, at Jena High, a white student - who allegedly had been making racial taunts, including calling African-American students "niggers" while supporting the students who hung the nooses and who beat up the black student at the off-campus party - was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. The white victim was taken to the hospital treated and released. He attended a social function that evening.

Six black Jena students were arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. All six were expelled from school.


Sounds like some mighty fine justices there, maybe Gonzo can get hired there.

In September 2006, a black student at Jena high school asked permission from school administrators to sit under the "white tree." School officials advised them to sit wherever they wanted. They did. The next day, three nooses, in the school colors, were hanging from the "white tree." The message was clear. "Those nooses meant the KKK, they meant 'Niggers, we're going to kill you, we're going to hang you till you die,'" Casteptla Bailey, a mother of one of the students, told the London Observer.

The Jena high school principal found that three white students were responsible and recommended expulsion. The white superintendent of schools over-ruled the principal and gave the students a three-day suspension saying the nooses were just a youthful stunt. "Adolescents play pranks," the superintendent told the Chicago Tribune, "I don't think it was a threat against anybody."


Just a simple school prank, boys will be boys ya know. But Justice was truely served?

The Jena administrators are teaching their students and children well, don't ya think!

The examples are all in front for everyone to see.

'Niggers, we're going to kill you, we're going to hang you till you die,'

Juxtapose this with the kids wearing pink t-shirts to defend their gay friend.

I'm glad I don't live in Jena.

Jena. NIce town if you're white. Reminds me of that other Louisiana paradise - Gretna of Katrina fame *.

"Intimidation cited includes an off campus incident, in which a white student responded to threats by brandishing a gun. Black students allegedly wrestled away the gun and were then held in custody and charged with theft when they refused to return the gun, while no charges were made against the white student"

Where did this come from?

I found different versions of much of what is being posted here, much of which is no excuse for 6 guys knocking out, beating and kicking 1 guy who might or might not have said something. Were they overcharged? Maybe, but to try and rationalize this physical attack is something I'm not on board with.

May I suggest you go back on your medication?

I find it stoically amusing that I post information about the story from a different side of the issue and several posters can't seemed to grasp that there is more to this than just beating up a white boy, which by the way went to a school function that night.

If you didn't catch the many different articles about this subject, one thing stood clear, the justice being handed out was not proportional depending on color.

Now I don't agree with any of the violence nor condone it, but the issue is about fair treatment for all.

Funny how some here are unable to actually grasp the issue.

Good lord.

I think the RN has been into his patient's meds again...

Barker was knocked unconscious and kicked as he lay on the ground. He went to the hospital and was treated for his injuries and released the same day. He went to a school function that night.

Barker was hit from behind and says he didn't see who did it, but school officials soon rounded up six "suspects". Instead of school suspension or expulsion, it became a criminal case. District Attorney Reed Walters had the students arrested and charged with attempted murder. In this state, that can mean 80 years in prison.

www.cnn.com

During his speech to the students, DA Reed Walters took aim at the black students who in the middle of all of the controversy and issued a prophetic warning. Flanked by police, Walters told a group of high schoolers assembled that he could be their best friend or their worst enemy. Looking at the small group of African-Americans, he stated, "I can make your lives disappear with the stroke of a pen.".

And sure enough, after refusing to charge the white students who hung the nooses, after ignoring the school arson, after a misdemeanor charge for one white man who beat up a black teen, and after charging a group of black students with theft after they wrestled a sawed-off shotgun from a white person who'd threatened them, Walters saw fit to bring the full weight of the justice department for 6 black students who were implicated in a fight with a white student. A white student who was friends with the three kids who hung the nooses and was bragging that one of the Jena Six was the "N****r who got his ass whipped" was knocked unconscious in a fight in the Jena High School, and his alleged attackers now face charges that none of the other antagonists faced.

Most libs I've met aren't ashamed of their status.

I think any "shame" you're detecting is likely pity once they realize how disabled you are mentally and emotionally.

IF I was queer I'd be flaming and open about it. Sorry for your loss.

Why do bushbots think calling a man gay is the worst insult ever?

I take it as a compliment from the emotionally fucktarded.

Where did this come from?

Maybe if you actually did some reading and looked up the entire story you might be better educated as to the position the media takes, and this would better round you to cognizant understanding. There are many sides to a story in which to actually get to the truth.

When one wave arises in the middle of a lake, the water of the whole lake begins to move. So it is said that one wave creates ten thousand waves. In human beings there are endless thoughts arising and falling away again. As we cling to these endless thoughts, this results in our creating the world. So politics appear, religions appear,
war appears. As we then live in this world that we have created, we feelas though we are the one who is right. As a result, events such as terrorist attacks can occur.

Fighting no doubt!

Moneywar Are You A Libtard....Do you admit it..Bwahahahaha I know I know.....You are a Fucktard like LarryMor-A-Douche

I just have to laugh!

The intellectual value of this poster makes all know he is a product of "No Child Left Behind!"

I wonder how tough Oncologyrn would be in person?

Probably wouldn't say shit if his mouth were full of it. Wimp.

My My oncol, did you pop your Bush blow up doll? Did you get the man plastic stuck in the back of your throat?

By your posts it sure seems like it.

I didn't get this "queer" stuff as cog. This is my reward for picking an androgynous name.

oncologyrn...

Your posts have no substance. You are a dumb unimaginative troll with a homosexual fetish.

If I was gay and 'came out' to my parents, they wouldn't care and would still love me.

Pity yours wouldn't, or you'd be posting something useful for once.

I have been reading you and alex(the closeted Homosexual) for a few years now.

Hmmmm! Your Pistons are not running on all cylinders but this is a high standard for you.

And I still think you guys are as fucktarded as they come

Where is Frank Cotton when you need him?

Moneywar- It's nice to have fans, even if they get a little drool on you.

Moneywar- It's nice to have fans, even if they get a little drool on you.

Yeah! I still get to have my cigarette!

Any man that married you sees fags everywhere, because he is one.

They would kick your dumb ass out of the basement

I bought my own house thank you. If I was woman I could have spread my legs like you and had a man pay for it instead. But I got stuck with the bill.

The Madman from Oncol is a regular laff riot.

Spud knows it's not nice to make fun of the mentally ill but in RN's case Spud's willing to make an exception.

Do you suppose the whole gay obsession thing stems from the fact that the guy prolly shaves scrotums fer a living and is embarrassed that he has to cover up his raging hard-on everytime?

Admittedly, that was just a guess.

Based on wot we now know about closeted Righty (not-so) Tighties, obviously.

Question to ColostomybagRN

Actually, Spud doesn't really care wot YokoOno thinks about anything just wanted to call ya a colostomy bag there.

S'fun fer Spud! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Be Well.

Dethspu- Oncologyrn claims to be a woman. Shocking, since I didn't realize a female with a computer could be dumber and more vile than Michelle Malkin.

Hey oncology- Ever wonder why your husband puts it in your ass so much?

Just a guess here...

Does anyone remember Controlledpairs? You know, the poster child for internet Tourette's?

Nurse Cancerous could be his long lost twin sister.

Twin brother AND husband. It's very convenient, They already know what they like about each other.

So anybody that disagrees with you is uneducated? You sure show me! Rather than answer my question you throw a hissy fit.

Grow up.

Very true.

I just wish the Ronald Regan Memorial Mental Care Facility would monitor patient's internet access a little more closely. All this anger and bile cannot be good for their treatment.

Is there always up-tick of Psycho Stupid in the fall?

Score one fer Canader, eh?

Onco aint a chick.

Onco may haff delusions in that direction but Spud thinks not so much really.

Want's to be a chick? Sure, Spud can buy that.

But Onco is really just a seriously effed up guy pretending to be a chick.

Think Chris Crocker here.

Hows about it, Big O?

Did Britney get a bum deal?

Yer still pretty upset, eh?

Be Well.

Yeah, that one was a thing of beauty.

I laughed.

I didn't cry.

But I laughed.

Always welcome is the great and glorious Trees.

This whole whacky phenomenon involving Britney's Bad-ass performance/ Perez's piss-take/ Crocker's suicidal whinge-fest and now all the responses and off-shoots is unfolding at a ridiculous clip.

Of course, now whenever some RT comes along and starts whining how folks are "always bashing Bush" we can't help but mentally juxtapose them with Crocker's uber-theatrics.

"He's only human!"

Oh yeah, Prove it sez Spud!

Be Well.

But but but...he has tears!

And on that note, I'm headed to the forest to get some Zzzzzs.

Trees

Are you going to call in on the Rev's radio show again this weekend?

But but but...he has tears!

So do crocodiles after they've swallowed their prey.

And on that note, I'm headed to the forest to get some Zzzzzs.

As you wish.
As you please.
Off goes Trees
To get some Zzzzzs.

Spud is gonna disappear too
into the good blog-earth now.

Sweet Dreams.

Spud'll return when he can.

Take care.

Be Well.

PS: That was Spud, btw, exiting the ever evolving Drudge Retort fer the potato patch located
stage left.

Notice how the conversation getw away from the subject. This case is indefensible.

It seems like the 60's all over again. This time its about judicial injustice. Blacks are getting more activist. I wonder which city will go up first?

No one mentions that Mychal Bell's clueless public defender was black. No one mentions that there were no black jurors because of the 50 people who responded to the more than 100 summons, none were black. No one mentions that Bell was already on probation for battery relating to a Christmas day incident in 2005. No one mentions that Bell was adjudicated (convicted) of two other violent crimes in 2006 and one charge of criminal damage to property. No one mentions that Bell's father acknowledged he moved back to Louisiana in February (after seven years in Dallas) to supervise his son because of the "Jena Six" mess. No one mentions that Bell starred on the Jena High football team while constantly jeopardizing/violating his seemingly flimsy probation.

This was all talked about in open court during a bond hearing for Bell, and a newspaper in Alexandria, La., wrote about it. Just about everybody else has pretty much ignored the "other side" of the story. Including the fact that not one witness -- black or white, and there were 40 statements taken -- connected the jumping/beatdown of the white student (Dec. 4) to the noose incident (Sept. 1).

No one mentions that a black U.S. Attorney, Donald Washington, investigated the "Jena Six" case and held a town-hall meeting explaining that there was no evidence connecting the jumping/beatdown to the noose incident.

Only after the prosecutor overreacted (or tired of letting Bell and others skate once the successful football season was over; Bell wasn't the only football star charged) did the "Jena Six" blame the attack on the nooses and the white shade tree.

And the right pretends there is nothing wrong with our healthcare.....employing this bigot is just a small part of it.

RN, do you say this same stuff to gay patients?

Do you treat them differently than straight patients when you have to care for them?

OncologyRN has been officially changed to malignantRN.

Make note of it.

It places the lotion in the basket...It does this whenever it's asked to.

--Oncologyrn

"Jena is a mostly white town where racial animosity flared about a year ago when a black student sat under a tree that was a traditional gathering place for whites."

This is what triggered everything that happened afterwards. The black kid was making the statement that he had as much right to sit there as anyone else. And I agree that he did.

Not too long ago, I took a stand that I had as much right as another for something at work. Technically I was correct, but it was seen as a provacation because it did not follow the way things had always been done. Yes, I was right and within the law for my request. But it brought me a lot of grief. Was it a racial issue? No. We were all of the same race. It was "tradition" issue.

In the Jenna case, tradition AND race were both factors in the situation. Super bad mix.
