HOWEVER: All of this hype surrounding the "Jena Six" is really starting to bother me. No one's really looking at all of the big picture here. This article sums it up well: http://msn.foxsports...r/story/7170510
Yes, I'm against racism. No, I don't think they should get murder charges. But the fact is, SIX tough, strong dudes ganged up on one guy, beating him even after he was unconscious on the floor. They could have killed him. And it was pretty much unrelated to the noose incident (until they got the idea to make it related, causing a media uproar). This white kid had nothing to do with that, as far as anyone knows. But everyone's all like, "Dude, nooses from the 'white tree' and then the black kids are getting charged for something they did wrong!" And then want the group of 6 to get off completely scot-free??? I don't think so.
So many people are following the media craze to support the Jena Six in a way that I don't think is fair. Anyone have any thoughts, here?
I have no idea why this was turned into a racial issue in the united states, maybe because Americans are way to PoCo. My point of view is that even if he did put nooses up on the tree, he has this right called FREEDOM OF SPEECH that people seem to be forgetting, there is no FREEDOM TO GANGBASH SOMEONE in the constitution I believe. This is not about race, this is about six guys beating the crap out of one guy. If they were white and they beat up a black kid for any reason, it would still be six guys beating the crap out of one guy. Put the violent fuckers in prison were they can work off their anger. This brings me to another point, screw hate crimes and all that crap. If a someone attacks someone else then it is assault, if one person is a different colour then the other it shouldn’t make a difference, assault is assault regardless of what the reason.
