Two arrested in noose incident near Jena, Louisiana

Was it wrong to hang the nooses? ABSOLUTELY!
Should the students who hung the nooses be punished? ABSOLUTELY!
Was hanging the nooses a felony offense punishable with prison time? I don't think so.

Of course it doesn't, in your book...it does for the rest of reasonable, civilized folk. It's classified as a "hate crime", in case you were wondering. Geez
Does it justify multiple black kids beating a white kids who was not involved in the noose hanging? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

If they had not hung the noose...all would be a moot point, wouldn't it?
The fact of the matter is that racial slurs were being bandied about, as we now see was common practice, as underscored by the D.A. and his disgraceful , reprehensible performance.

I have not contradicted myself. And again, if my opinions indicate racism to some, so be it. I think my opinions are pretty damn reasonable.

And I think not. The demarcation line is clear....and splits along racial lines, doesn't it? I rest my case.

It just boggles the mind. People, here, have the audacity to call me "a racist"...yet, it took me to post the article. Let's see how many here, condemn the actions exhibited...or choose to post more ad hominem attacks on the messenger.
This stuff is not made up...it's not fantasy...it happens everyday. Hide your head in the sand, or hide your face in shame. It takes you saying enough is enough. I don't harbor any "high hopes", though, being the realist that I am. I'm fully prepared for the status quo.

We call you one because you are one. It doesn't take audacity to call a spade a spade. (no pun intended)IMO Your not even a good messenger.Na, i'll let you have all the oppression.This incident happened last year, why you crying now?

There's a lot of "he said, she said" going on...
The CNN Investigative Report suggests that the sentences against the Jena 6, were extreme, and largely unjustified.
No charges were ever brought against the white students, although one was in possession of a shotgun.
There are,clearly, two kinds of justice...white justice ( for which there is no accountability....and black justice ( which is extreme beyond the pale)

Aaron, STILL waiting for you to offer proof that hanging nooses falls under the LEGAL umbrella of a hate crime punishable by prison time (not just in your mind).

Thats bull****, so they hung a damn rope from a tree, what right did the backs kids have to gangbang one kid..

Sounds like the intellect don't have the answer, but he likes to accuse alot. Come on mr. intellect, i'm sure it is in your capability to provide a sound arguement at to why it's a hatecrime for a noose but not for a brutal beating?

Hate crimes (also known as bias motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.[1] Hate crimes differ from conventional crime because they are not directed simply at an individual, but are meant to cause fear and intimidation in an entire group or class of people.


The putting up of a noose around a tree clearly falls under the mantle of "hate crime"...while the assbeating of the boy , who was "indirectly" responsible, was a conventional crime....Did I break it down enough for you to understand?

You can provide the definition of a hate crime, and you can say that you think those who hung the noose should go to prison under hate crime law. But you cannot provide any legal facts to support your claim that hanging the nooses qualifies as a prison-punishable hate crime. YOU made the claim. Don't tell me to talk to the FBI; the burden of proof is on you.

How is the proof on me? The proof will eventually be decided on in a court of law? And I'd say there is a good chance for a conviction.



But your responses are not fact-based. They are emotional and agenda-driven. No wonder you are such a big supporter of Dan Rather; the truth is inconsequential, right?
