it's not a black/white thing at all to me.... and I'm aware some of the kids in the 6 didn't do shit, but for those who did, they SHOULD NOT be set free.... the white kids should be charged with a hate crime.. and the black kids should be charged with assault, to which degree or whatever, I don't know, I'm not a DA.... that's EQUAL JUSTICE....THEY SHOULD NOT BE SET FREE.... let the hate come....
I just quickly read up on the case, but what you said sounds right to me. They shouldn't have attempted murder charges I guess, is that what the fuss is about?
You're making far too much sense. Have you forgotten that this is America? We can't have thoughtful analysis of any situation when there are so many options for knee-jerk reactionaries to fashion it into something it isn't.
Retarded as shit. I have a couple of friends who went down to the protest, but I think that it's all bullshit. Just another political ploy by Jackson and Sharpton, those wankers. I do think that the charges the black kids face are ridiculous... but you have to face reality, and not aggravate the rednecks if you live in a hick-ass town. They'll probably be aquited from the attempted murder charges. But yes... they SHOULD NOT be set free, they responded with violence. I completely agree with you Gravity.
It is funny how the law works, in my country people get lighter terms for coming from a good family, on one hand that seems backwards to me... on the other hand i come from a good family, expect the quo to stay the same.
That's what I said-the white kids didn't actually lay a hand on these people-what's the big fuckin deal?! I understand that what they did was a racial threat or whatever you want to say it is...but c'mon! Another rally in America where the blacks cry racist.
well, hell, man. i do think the charges in this whole nightmare ARE unfairly handed out. the white punks weren't charged with any of their shit, including assault or for the hate crime. and the degree of harm inflicted upon the man who pulled a gun on the black kids does NOT justify the charges levelled against them. i woulda stomped on that fucker, too.
I keep seeing headlines about this Jenna 6 thing. I thought it was a video game or something. I guess I should go read up on it.
Yea, please tell me what this is about. I feel like an idiot, but I've been stuck at work all day, and I haven't heard anything about this til now
they just arrested two white males for driving around with nooses and a shotgun as well as brass knuckles in there truck. They drove around the protesters. The kids who hung the nooses on the tree originally incited this. However, I don't believe that violence will ever be the answer. Ganging up on one person to take your aggressions out will land you in prison. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh the sweet smell of publicity for a personal cause. We all know the story, c'mon.
No I really didn't know the story. Like I said, I've been at work and haven't caught the news lately. Where did this happen?
well, snoop, as the tensions escalated, the 6 young men had a pistol grip gun pulled on them in a parking lot. they disarmed the fucker, didn't really do much damage to him, and ran home (with the gun) not wanting to get shot on the back. none of the boys had ANY sort of troubles or record prior to this incident, and frankly i COMPLETELY understand their response to having a gun pulled on them. however, the hate crime that incited the entire nightmare, the assault on another young black man in the town, and several other incident perpetrated by white men WERE NOT DEALT WITH EQUALLY. that's the fuss. that's the bullshit. hell, it ticks me off, too.
since when?? that only applies to pety crimes that have the possibility of getting a section 10 and even then it's not your family so much as what you have contributed to society
i thought it was ridiculous. its a touchy subject but still its not fun to joke about racism. and those white boys should of got in trouble. i understand why the black kid beat up tyhe white and it was wrong of him to do it, but what other choice did he have?
15 years?! Well i looked on the site (http://www.freethejena6.org/) and they dont say anything about a gun. Man thats a sad story...
ok.. you all do know that the fight had nothing to do with the noose incident which took place several months before. while it may have been a beginning catalyst,the fight was revenge for a black student being beaten by white students at a party the weekend before. if you google far enough thru the cries of racism you can find that fact. the cops were never called to the underage party so the white kids were never charged,,at least thats what i believe i heard.
Wait so let me understand, a white kid pulled a gun on 6 black kids, who disarmed and beat him, then the black kids were charged with attempted murder?
