I can't get chewed out by my boss and then use that as an excuse for why I stabbed a random dude on the street who pissed me off by saying something stupid.
And let's be honest, while you may be justified yourself in wanting to protest the unfair judicial situation, these people aren't there to do that. They want them freed using unrelated racial tension as an excuse, not to have the Jena 6 treated equally. |
I already stated the previous incidents are irrelevant, but It's not irrelevant that the charges he's facing are enhanced due to his race. I am not about 'freeing' the Jena 6 - they need to face charges for what they did, but for what they did, not what they DIDN'T do. (attempted murder, agg battery.....under LA law, a weapon is required to charge agg battery, and there was no weapon).
I do not agree at all with many of the people who are saying that these boys have to be let off completely for justice. That's not how the legal system works, it's not an exchange. 'OK, you let those white boys off, so you owe us a black acquittal now', lol. That is how some see it, and if you're saying that's not right, I agree with you, but please do not put words in my mouth and assume that's my mode of thinking as well.
