So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don’t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.

Oh yes let the poor boys free, they are so innocent. They got their feelings hurt and that justifys everything. Lets empty all the jails and prisons. Surelu that can justify what they done. It has to be some kind of racism. After all there is no way any black person can do anything to a white person without it being justified by racism. Oh by the way you may get a call soon your child was knocked unconscious and kicked and stomped by six people. Dont bother to ask who they are or what color they were, after all he or she deserved it. What kind of precedent would this give to just let these punks walk free. That would be a slap in the face to the whole legal system. Who would they get next? I am sure it hurt Barkers feelings just as much as they want you to believe. Maybe he should have got 36 people to jump these six. What would you think about that situation. I bet it would be give then all life sentences. The cycle would go on and on. Try defending the victim for a chage.

Yes, completely agree that the poor boys should be set free from such ridiculous allegations. However, the real blame lies with the school system, parents and local leaders who also need to be investigated/prosecuted for allowing these kinds of views and actions to continue.

I’m a white freshman at college with an assignment to write about this topic! I had no clue what it was about until now all I know is that the boys should be dropped of all there charges. Because I mean everyone is all the same I mean besides skin. We all have souls and if a white person wants to be that way than they have no morals; the same goes for a black person. We just all need to get along with each other because we have to reley on ppl that have different back grounds. Even then white ppl can have a % of black in them do to family history. But, its wrong and i would love to come to the protest but i have school and football practice!!

Kai:

Read all of the other postings on other articles on this website regarding Jena 6.

You have been misinformed by many of the details, and have only heard one side of the story on the rest.

Read what I put on the “Jena 6 Update” article. There are links in that article that point you to information supplied by the FBI who investigated this incident and other sources.

I AM SO SORRY BUT THIS IS WHAT WE GET. WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW THINGS TO GO UNCHALLENGED FOR YEARS UNTIL IT COMES TO A HEAD, AND THEN WE GAG!! I AM SURE SO MUCH HAS OCCURRED IN THAT RACIST STATE, WITH BLACK PEOPLE ALLOWING IT TO GO, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AFFECTING THEM DIRECTLY. BUT THE ONE THING THAT JUDGE AND THE DA DID WAS LET THE ENTIRE COUNTRY KNOW HOW RACIST THIS CITY IS. SO THEY MESSED UP BIG TIME. IF ANY GOOD COMES OUT OF THIS, IT WILL BE THAT KNOWLEDGE. I NEVER HEARD OF THE CITY OF JENA UNTIL NOW. BUT I WILL DEFINITELY BE ON ONE OF THE BUS RIDES TO LOUISIANA IN PROTEST. BECAUSE THIS IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS, AND I AM APPALLED.

excellent job on the piece. I was made aware of this through the radio. I would like to say to all americans citizens that are outraged by this incident there is a book called Blacks Law Dictionary. Also get yourself a copy of the U.S. Constitution. Scrutinize these documents understand each and every word, then and only then will there be true representation of the law. Realize people it’s not the system it’s the people in charge of maintaining the system. Our elected officials have taken america from the people and turned it over to the corporations so we as an american population have got to stand up for our rights, but before we do we have to understand and overstand.

[...] I’ve already fisked that concept. Although students have claimed there was a “peaceful protest” at the tree following the noose incident, Washington said he could find no proof of that claim. As opposed to a peaceful response, Jena police officers were called to the school to respond to a number of fights — white on black and black on white — in the days after the noose incident, Washington said.

Why are they so racist. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear about these dumb white kids who think they’re better than everyone. Those boys don’t deserve this. Why can’t the Supreme Court step in, because this is so racist.

[...] Why is the motive – determination of which is a soft science at best – a criteria? It should be enough to show statistically that whites are serving less time or not being charged at all for the same crimes when all other factors (such as criminal history, etc.) are equal. Is it more wrong to stop black people from voting than it is to stop white people from voting? How about latinos, or Asians? Fat people, women, religious people? Anyone who prevents a person who is legally entitled to vote should be treated the same way, regardless of the victim of the crime. No group should be “more equal” than others, and as an additional selling point of this concept, I’d like to note that it will make it a good deal easier to prosecute. No more copouts like this: Washington said selective prosecution is very hard to prove, and in order to do so he would have to … [...]
