For those of you are aware of the nationwide racial protest in Jenna-- I don't care if a bunch of students hung nooses on the white tree to keep the blacks from sitting under it. That is still NO EXCUSE for 6 black guys jumping the white kid and beating the **** out of him and wanting amnesty. These things are best handle by the police and the court system. MLK,Jr. would not be pleased.

I agree.

Didn't MLK ask that people be judged "not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" When people quote MLK they conveniently leave out the "content of their character" part. I guess that makes it easier to ask for special treatment for the color of their skin. Unfortunately.

To the point of this protest, if they boys in question had a quality content of their character they would not have beat the hell out of that kid. Color has little to do with it, just character.

Always treat people with good character well.

well you should care that the white kids hung nooses over the tree. thats what started the whole thing. its easy to minimize the after effects but the problem is why it happened to start with.
whites are quick to do something that will trigger an a problem
but then run to law to help protect them from trouble they caused.
the kid did what he did and got the beating of his life his parents are likely a bunch of redneck trash telling him to go out and do it.
blacks have every right to speakout against this nonsense for as long as it takes.

I am hispanic and have experienced tons of racism directed at both me and my friends. From being called a wetback by a cop to being pushed around by white kids when i was younger. I am suer i still don't exeprience it on the level that black folks do but nothing gives you the right to beat someone like that. Hangin the nooses ain't right heck no it's not it's pathetic and it shows how ignorant they are but you still can't do that.

When any race, people or person reacts with violence it will all ways just cause more issues than solve any problem.....

i will say this. This country is still very racist.
I see it everyday
even if i am educated and speak with no accent i am still looked at diffrently but i don't care. It does irk me though that we pretend like we have gotten over that ant that we are no racist anymore. I don't complain, i live my life succesfully but who are we kidding

I agree they should not have acted violently.
But the kids should not have acted with such racial hatred either.
They are all kids and as adults we can see their mistakes.
which is the reason for the protest.
the DA is going to far.

Yeah well the noose was wrong too, but ask yourself this, did the guy who was beat ever say he hung the noose? I am thinking that he most likely did not.

So who hung the noose and who was beat might ne completely different.

So I think you are saying that if anyone wrongs a black then a gang of blacks can gang up on any white kid they want and beat the hell out of them. If that is your idea of fair I don't want you for a neighbor under any circumstances.

I think Sharpton should be ashamed for not looking at that aspect of the issue. Didn't they threaten to burn down the town if the guys weren't set free? Inexcusable.

can't we all just get along









if another race from another planet came to earth then we would all be earthlings

But also let me say this.
There are people out there that think they can say what ever they want to say to you. if they choose to speak to you in a crude way. call you and your wife or g/f names maybe your kids
they feel they can do it and that you,re going to run a tell someone because thats how its always been.
i,m not saying it was right for that kid to get his ass so badly beat. but i,m not sorry either.
it was a mean and hateful thing to do and he paid for it.
as for the kids that did it I believe its gone far enough and my the powers that be end it.

i am with you carebear????????

No philospher the kid that was beat did do it. he got expelled for it and later he and some of his friends got into it with the black kids. words were exchanged and the fight went down.
it was,nt a one verse 6 type of thing, but the only arrest made was the black kids.

As a white guy I can say this. For any reaction that has contains violence it just proves to us that we are right.....

I am not proud to make that statement it is just the way some of the white people think.......


We had a police officer killed here the other day by an illegal alien.......and all that did was prove to us that the illegal alien nation is violent, and needs to be taken. Because of one mans action the backlash on the illegal will be massive and it’s already starting

Legal definition of 'fighting words'

Fighting words doctrine. The First Amendment doctrine that holds that certain utterances are not constitutionally protected as free speech if they are inherently likely to provoke a violent response from the audience. N.A.A.C.P. v. Clairborne Hardware Co., Miss., 458 U.S. 886, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982). Words which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace, having direct tendency to cause acts of violence by the persons to whom, individually, remark is addressed. The test is what persons of common intelligence would understand to be words likely to cause an average addressee to fight. City of Seattle v. Camby, 104 Wash.2d 49, 701 P.2d 499, 500.

The "freedom of speech" protected by the Constitution is not absolute at all times and under all circumstances and there are well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which does not raise any constitutional problem, including the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting words" which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568, 62 S.Ct. 766, 86 L.Ed. 1031.

Pretty sure that hanging nooses under a tree just might fall under that. I don't think six guys should have jumped on one guy, but one of them should have stomped a mud hole in his ass.

I am completely against you on this one.

The kid in jail... The judge has refused to lower his $90,000 bail, citing Bell's record, which includes four juvenile offenses -- two simple battery charges among them.

So the kid has two prior arrests for battery.

As for the kid who was beat, he was not one of the ones responsible for the noose. I checked.

If you forgive the guys who beat him you might as well say they can beat your own kid, because they had nothing to do with the noose either.

man this is a topic that lights a fire in all of us. but i think tp this point everyone's arguments are intelligent and that's what this country is all about. i wait til I speak to people and decide if I will partake with them. who cares what color they are. Illegal Aliens ....another can of worms let's leave that one alone...for now. lol

Oh well, if he didn't hang the noose, then that's a completely different story.

what about the white students who threatened the black students, as well as one of the black students that was one of the Jena 6 getting jumped at a party all before the one white student got beat up? do you think that is enough? before we judge the black students, shouldn't we look at the WHOLE story?

I will have to say, I am not racist by any means.. Everytime something happens to African Americans, the yell racial profiling, or something similar.. I think its just an excuse for most to have something to complain about.. In my opionion beating a white kid because of something he didnt do is (RACIAL PROFILING).. But you dont hear anybody yelling it out..(I know im not the only person that thinks that).. Its just a shame in society today you have to watch what you say and what you do for fear of someone trying to sue you for it.. There are so many things that happen to the white race , from the African American people (AND WE DONT YELL RACISM< ORRACIAL PROFILING< OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT)... And let me make this VERY CLEAR, b/c I know someone will not agree with me, but THIS IS MY OWN OPINION.. AND I HAVE THE RIGHT... Thanks and God bless... I pray for all that is invaolved.
