Jena Six: Regardless, they still did beat up a lone, individual classmate unconscious
While we demand for fair and equal justice, the facts are still the same.
Six teenagers beat a lone, individual classmate unconscious.
The NAACP, black celebrities and music stars, the rallies across the country, and activist groups all talk about unequal justice and racism. Because of these two things, the six men should go free.
Yes, every human being, regardless of race, creed, or color is entitled to a fair chance. Yet, there is personal accountability.
Yes, justice must be reformed. We must educate against racism and unjust bias, but to be fair, the six teenagers must still be charged with assault against a fellow classmate and must be punished.
It is still called fair in the end.

I agree. I even sent an e-mail to organizations supporting the Jena Six expressing this opinion. Six men assaulted an individual and these people want them to get away with it. How the hell is that justice?

The media has made a mockery of our country and they continue to do so with events like this. All the coverage on the web and television, yet during the march in DC on Sept 15, there was not a whisper on CNN or FOXnews. Only a few days later did the networks even dare to mention it. If I were a betting man, I would bet that for every "justice seeker" in Jena there were at least ten or more concerned citizens who marched in DC trying to stop the slaughter of innocent civilians and the loss of precious American lives fighting a war we no longer want.

i dont understand all the stuff going on but i do know this is stupid and beating another human person is wrong wiether there were six or just one its wrong and arresting and trying these young men isn't wrong or racist but trying to say they did nothing wrong is a load of crap. i say let it go.
