I am intentionally excerpting from the middle of the article. This incident is documented in a Baltimore Sun article that is linked to on Freerepublic.

I suggest reading the first part of the article.

This is currently a very explosive situation for Louisiana overall and the town of Jena.

I was interested today when I heard a RUMOR that a white student took a shotgun to school. The black students took away the shotgun and they were arrested for that.

The Los Angeles Times article has some of the truth of the incident, but not all of it.

Here is a link to the Freerepublic thread on the Baltimore Sun article:

Racial incident at school overwhelms Louisiana town - [Jena, Louisiana]

[Tzimisce]

Wow - six black kids beat a white kid and even after the white guy goes unconscious, they CONTINUE to beat him.

And there is NO talk of this being a hate crime. Instead, they run around complaining about whitey and the black “victims” like those aren’t stereotypes.

I am also perplexed. How does 6 black kids beating up a white kid translate into a hate crime against the 6 black kids? beam me up Scotty!

Amazing how much the LA Times twisted the story and left out important facts. That report was a propaganda piece.

So, how did Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton become the voice of character in the United States?

I found this post intersting.

Grain of salt of course, internet.

Great, now every town with a population of under 5,000 will try to stage similar events in an attempt to boost the local economy.

I want to know why six punks of any race can beat up another kid, also of any race, and people are seeking to get them set free.

Nooses hanging from a tree is definitely intimidation. But it’s a long step from intimidation to assault. And what if this boy had nothing to do with hanging the nooses? If he did bring a shotgun that would be another matter. But if he didn’t directly threaten the Jena 6, they have no right to beat him beyond unconsciousness.

Notice that the core issue (the black students actions against ) are not addressed - just the outrage that more whites were not charged.

Hello - Worry about your own wrongdoings before you start pointing out other people’s issues.

Here is the REAL time line from the Jena Times.

the white kids should have not hung the rope nooses.

that doesn’t exonerate the black kid who beat up the white kid.

First off I am from Louisiana, secondly I have good friends in Jena. Yes there is a portion the town that is racist, WOW a racist town in the United States??? Most of the residents there aren’t though. Now on the flip side I know of 2 small urban areas outside of Los Angeles that are racist towards whites, Compton and Crenschaw. This whole situation is utterly ridiculous and show the ineptitude of the Blacks today. The Black community is being used by the likes of Al “Not So” Sharpton and Jesse “The Shakedown Artist” Jackson and events like this prove it.
Recently there was a young black lady in W.Va. that was brutally raped, tortured, and held captive for a week by some ridge running racist hill billy types that could have been the starting lineup for Deliverance 2. These people, if you want to call them that, did things to this poor child that no human being should have to endure. Where were these so called Black community leaders for her. I doubt she has even heard from either of the Revs. Forget her plight let’s race off to some podunk La. town and worry about 6 hoodlums beating up another hoodlum that is so much worse. Further proof we are in the end days, we are getting to stupid for our own good and natural selection will deal with us sooner or later.
