Weren’t they arrest for DWI or DUI?

Gosh! I did not know it was against the law to have a noose hanging in your truck! /sarc

What about those trucks that have those nutsacks hanging from the hitch?

I guess hanging a noose is the equivalent to being beaten within an inch of your life by 6 guys.

Part of that affirmative action equation.

Too, the lack of charges against white kids involved in altercations has fueled the fire.

It’s the disparity in the DA’s charges that has fueled the fire.

"So what you are saying is that the Arkansas drunk redneck population is more advanced than the Louisiana breed? Interesting..."

Not at all...and it's obvious that you've come to believe the stereotype that New Orleans IS Louisiana. IMHO, Louisiana can be divided into three general areas...New Orleans is an old port city founded and made famous by corrupt scoundrels, pirates and cutthroats. It remains that today, overlayed by the urban blight endemic to all American urban centers in the wake of Johnson's war on poverty.

The area generally north of I-10 can, as I've previously intimated, be regarded as southern Arkansas.

The coastal strip from the TX border, east to Thibodeaux and the outskirts of NO to Mississippi. The area tends to be populated by industrious, generally libertarian, "laissez les bon temps roulet" cajuns who work hard, play hard, and remain fairly tolerant of others if remaining somewhat insular themselves. Education in the area varies widely but race relations tend to be as healthy as anywhere else in the nation, and in some regards, probably healthier, though the race baiters try to make their inroads from time to time.

Who was beaten within an inch of his life?

Am I a racist because I think the ones who beat up that kid deserve to be in jail?

Aside from the race-baiting going on * it's a big part of the divide and conquer strategy of the left * in the US and around the world we see many "non-crimes" made into crimes while the REAL criminal acts are excused by some slight of hand with the "non-crime".

How many activities can you now be arrested and prosecuted for?

I'm willing to bet a shiny new nickel that the so called "Jena 6" will not be properly punished while new and improved laws are enacted to regulated speech and thoughts.

The world of Though Crimes is upon us, where fat kids are taken away from their parents and child rapist go free and illegals openly defy our Nations Laws.

I guess it never occurred to folks that this bussed-in march of thousands of black outsiders might make some idiot angry.

I'll bet it did occur to the Al Sharptons of the world, and I'll bet they're glad this idiot did this. Now watch as the same people point to this incident as evidence that the whole town is racist.

I don't know what to think now, either. In a town with such a small population, there's a whole family in the KKK? Or is this kid just talking out of his you-know-what?

I have to disagree with you. Some of these beatings occur in total disregard for the life of the victim. The fact that the victim survived is sheer good fortune. If I fired a gun at you and missed completely, you wouldn’t have a scratch on you but I would still have attempted murder. Look at the link below. Scroll down to the stories of utterly vicious racial attacks on whites, including innocent schoolgirls, in New York City:

Do you think Al Sharpton and the huge crowds of protesters would have shown up if 6 white guys had performed the battery against the white male victim and been similarly charged? If not, then we aren't talking about justice. We are talking about a media circus to cover up a racially motivated attack. The right to be "outraged" is no excuse or justification for the savage assault. As pointed out, the incidents were completely unrelated. The DA had it right the first time.

A very good read about Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the Jena Six from a banned posting site here.

I was not aware that one could be beaten within an inch of his life and be released from the hospital within three hours.

They must have a fine hospital up there in Jena.

hey-—black kids were beaten up too in Jena. It is just that the white offenders were given slaps on the wrist, instead of facing adult charges

and the kid was not beaten within an inch of his life. After he got out of the ER, he went out that night to a school function

wrong.

there was an outbreak of racial fights in Jena. In some instances black kids were attacked. But the white offenders were given slaps on the wrist.

the black offenders are facing 15 years in jail.

and the kid did not almost die. He went to the ER, but was out that night, and apparently was seen at a school function

the black kids are getting a bum rap in this one

You don't understand.

The politically correct sultans in the United States have basically broadcasted that for some groups that do not like certain words and or certain symbols, it's perfectly OK for them to beat someone to death, beat them severely into the ground, shoot them, and or cause civil unrest.

This a all perfectly OK, and justifiable.

These sultans of correctness are the same ones that now want to put the words, "illegal alien" on the banned, or list of the damned. lol

Fine hospital they must have there in Jena to bring people back from the brink of death and back on the streets to a school function in three hours.

I first read this as a moose incident

So did I. My home town just had its first actual moose incident -- first ever recorded visitor. They have named her "loosy".
