Thousands rally to support "Jena 6"

What I really think is important in this incident is the power of the press and the so called aggreived racial demagogues, to re invent facts and truth and inflame people with racial rubbish! This and the "Duke" case illustrate that terrifying fact! The various press reports have largely proved to be false amd misleading? Our 24/7 e;ectronic press is becoming a danger to our freedoms and adherence to a rule of law?

As the Jena case has been investigated most of the scurrilous allegations by Sharpton/Jackson and the 'race baiting demagogues, have been overcome by facts? This amazing attack on the rule of law is ominous? Too many of us believe (and make judgements on) the opinionated subjective often invented press reports we are exposed to?

What started as an unrelated incident was soon embellished with racially directed criticism of the victims a town, school and court for imagined wrong doing? When any group attacks and brutalizes an innocent there should be an fair and complete investigation into the facts?...certainly not a trial by press and opportunistic demagogues?

Quote by: Heather I think it's a reasonably arguable point that if one is "stomping and kicking" someone after they are already unconscious that their intent could easily be interpreted as extremely serious. If a person is clearly unconscious one cannot know the extent of injuries already sustained, and in this case they of coarse didn't know, yet continued to "stomp and kick". As I sited above, one can be killed in this fashion. To me the fact that this kid they were beating was already unconscious with unknowable injuries and yet they continued to stomp and kick clearly shows intent to do malicious harm.

Well, even the over-zealous DA must have figured out he couldn't establish intent to kill, because he reduced the charges before trial. Or perhaps he never thought it was AM, but charged it just to get them into adult court.

A trick that didn't pan out on appeal. The appellate court bounced the case to juvie, where it belongs, on lesser charges.

Quote by: tivodan1116 Thousands rally to support 'Jena 6' - CNN.com Let's be clear here - no one is denying that the so-called "Jena 6" assaulted another student. What is being claimed is the fact that they are being charged with a crime means there is racism in the county. What is wrong with these race-baiters that they don't see that when there is a crime committed, the people responsible are going to be charged with a crime??? The protesters say the people who, three months earlier, hung nooses from a tree because black students had taken to sitting under it, should be charged with a hate crime. WHAT hate crime? It is not illegal to be a racist jerk, and you do not have a Constitutional right not to be offended...

I wait till Jackson charges Sharpton for : Anti-Racism.
