I see all these people wearing T-Shirts that read “FREE THE JENA SIX”. They don’t even know the facts of this case. The Jena Six are not in jail. They are out on bond. Just like anybody else black or white would be. They just march because the true hatemongers Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson tell them they should. These two men have made a fine living baiting these people for years.

It amazes me that people are actually asking to be let off the hook for beating a boy to a bloody pulp. Yes, hanging nooses from the tree was wrong and ignorant, but it’s no different than neo-nazi’s wearing swastikas. The white boys did not actually commit a physically violent act. The black boys did. And for that, they should be charged.

You can’t use race as a reason to not take responsibility.

Dusty, you need to take a race, class and gender class at your nearest college. Your statements are ignorant at best.

Natalie, even “mentally” abusing others into submission is wrong. In fact, it’s what we fight for. Taking freedom away from another and suggesting that they hang them from a tree is wrong. It’s bigotry in the extreme. Not only are those thoughts counterproductive, but they are hurtful. How do you not know that? What is a noose used for? If only it meant just a punch in the face…

Now, consider the reactions from authority after these facts.
