There's been a lot of racial tension in that small town for a while. They just want fairness...either free the minors or put all the white people on probation in jail too for pretty much the same crime.

All the white people in that town are beating down blacks and leaving them with concussions?

Umm there have been numerous hate crimes that white people commited in that town against the same black kids that got punished and all got away with it. Like a white man at a gas station with nooses in his truck pulled a gun on some of the black kids and one of the black kids got the gun away from him and was charged with theft of the gun. Tell me thats not some shit there. God knows what else those fucking hicks got away with.

See you're the perfect example of the stupidity I speak of. You are a victim of it. You had to out of your way to mention the nosses on the truck like that makes a difference. Hate crimes are as stupid as copyright laws. If the guy went up to them with a gun then he he should be charged. If the guy was was approached by the young men in an attempt to be beaten and he took the gun out for protection and they stole it then they should be charged. What the white man's racial beliefs are, no matter how stupid, has no bearing on what the charges or public perception should be.
So what if he's racist. It's not illegal to be an asshole. If my mother died in some freak accident and the next day some asshole neighbor of mine who didn't like her out up a shrine in front of his house with a picture of her with markered devil horns and a mustache and had "ding dong the witch is dead" playing through his speakers I'd be very upset. But if I beat the shit out of the guy for doing it I'd still have to suffer the penalty. Why? Because disrepect does not justify voilence.

Whoa, calm the fuck down man i was just challenging your opinion. White people there have commited alot more violence against blacks down there and only got a slap on the wrist for it. And you saying hate crimes are as stupid as copyright laws is wrong. Do copyright laws involve violence and discrimination?

I'm not saying they shouldn't be punished at all but the sentences theyre possibly getting is insane. and don't even bring the Imus issue up. This Jena stuff was happening before that happened.

^ they dropped the murder beef a long time ago
One of my friends from highschool, and one of his friends, beat down a couple guys one night, took their hats and sunglasses and bounced. He called one of them a fag so it was automatically a fucking hate crime even though they both claim to be straight. But because he also took the kids sunglasses and hat he was charged with one count of felony accountability to robbery, plus both guys got two counts of felony aggravated assault. That shit totaled up to more than 10 years(this was a few years ago so I don't remember exactly), he sat in jail for a full year before he even had court and bail was set at a cool quarter mil.
Now, tell me that crime was worse than this 6 on 1 beatdown, since they were actually convicted on harsher charges than these guys in Jena are now facing, who the supporters want all charges dropped on or at least dropped to a misdemeanor; that's not equality. Oh and they just had on the news that two guys were arrested for hanging a noose off their truck.

--- Quote from: ZILLA THE GOODFELLA on September 21, 2007, 01:49:30 PM ---What they are being charged with is the big issue here. Back in my day, we used to rumble each other, put folks in the hospital and get suspended for a few days from school and return. That's how it is in high schools, shit, that's how it is growin up, period. If they wanted to punish us on a criminal level, couple of us would get probation for it and that was it. But attempted murder? Does anyone actually believe these kids had intentions of killing? It's a fight in high school, c'mon now.. there's obviously some racist shit goin on. A small suburban town in the south, can't really say I didn't expect it.

Now I don't know what happened but this is what Wikipedia said with regards to the assault;
"On December 4, 2006, Jena High School student Justin Barker, age 17, was assaulted by other Jena High students. According to reports, earlier that day Barker, a white student, bragged about how one of his alleged attackers, Robert Bailey, Jr., had been beaten up by a white man the Friday before.[3] Barker, who denies making the comments, was then knocked to the ground after being hit in the back of his head. From there, according to some witnesses, a group of black students followed suit by repeatedly kicking him.[15] Barker, who was left unconscious after the attack, was examined by a doctor at the local hospital. In the meantime, the six students accused of the attack, eventually dubbed the "Jena Six",[16] were arrested."
I don't care what nooses were on what tree, what fight happened at what party or what stupid kid pulled out a shotgun. The kid that got beat up did not instigate that kind of beat down. 5 or 6 guys kicking someone while they are down can do a lot of damage. A few years back some kid North of Toronto received that kind of beating and he ended up becoming retarded because of too many kicks to the head, and the teens that beat him down barely got 2 years. That's Canada for you. Doing something like that is very serious and should not be condoned. If they are not guilty they are not guilty, and due process should occur, and with all the attention now it will.
But here is the real problem and it shows how stupid we are in North America. Even if they are found guilty, or plead guilty, the idea that they were victims of racism will eclipse the reality that a teenager was the victim of harsh violence and the Jena 6 will always be looked at as bigger victims of the system and their emotinal and intellectual growth runs the risk of being forever stunted because stupid angry black and stupid guilt ridden whites don't understand a God Damn thing.

yeah but did he get called a fag only once by the person that got beat up or numerous times before it provoked violence?
