Jason Whitlock is one of my favorite journalists because he is not politically correct and he tells it like it is. What do you think of his opinions on the matter?
EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
There was no “schoolyard fight†as a result of nooses being hung on a whites-only tree.
Justin Barker, the white victim, was cold-****** from behind, knocked unconscious and stomped by six black athletes. Barker, luckily, sustained no life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital three hours after the attack.
A black U.S. attorney, Don Washington, investigated the “Jena Six†case and concluded that the attack on Barker had absolutely nothing to do with the noose-hanging incident three months before. The nooses and two off-campus incidents were tied to Barker’s assault by people wanting to gain sympathy for the “Jena Six†in reaction to Walters’ extreme charges of attempted murder.
Thanks, beautiful conservative. This is a side of the story I've not seen or heard. I think I would believe this guy before many in the liberal media.
Is this the true story? This article is interesting, it's exposing a side I've not heard before and I agree with. This whole problem could have been prevented beforehand, and we are quick to react to 6 boys beating one and getting charged excessively, but we aren't asking how we could have initially prevented it. I find it interesting that Jason Whitlock is black and is departing from taking the boys' side entirely because they did do something wrong, and they do deserve punishment. Just not attempted murder..
This incident, unfortunately, has uncovered the racial divide that still exists on both sides of the isle.
We should admit our differences and allow them to be there.
No matter what you do or where you're from; a black person cannot be like a white person, and a white person cannot be a black person.
I cannot walk a mile in your shoes. It just can't be done.
Face it.
The JENA six deserve to be in jail.
The questions are should they have been charged with attempted murder and should they have been charged as adults?
I say no on both. Let them stay in juvie, then get on with their lives.
Forget skin color.
If 6 individuals attack 1 individual and violently beat him,they have comitted a crime.
There are no excuses for this type of behavior.
Yes,I believe it's true.
True. The tension was caused by the nooses. The fight was initiated by the "victim" using racial epithets against the people that kicked his tail.
Are people trying to say that the guy got jumped simply for walking? Imagine someone in Chicago making racial slurs in a crowd of people. Whatever his/her color, that person would also get the crap kicked out of them.
What does the article say about the guy that pulled a shotgun out on a couple of students earlier and was not charged with anything? Oh, nothing you say? No surprise there.
A person would have to be blind not to see the inequality of the justice system magnified 100 fold in the southern states.
While stationed in Lousy-ana (Barksdale AFB), I confronted bigots who were accustomed to getting away with making nasty comments. It was great watching them eat their words and tremble in fear when I called them on their remarks. You can have that backwards, racist, poverty ridden, hazard county state. Blacks and whites there are bigots.
So what you are saying then Is the black kids were not enacting revenge, they were just practicing racism?
Gude Marny,
I blame rap music for encouraging this type of violent behavior. These teens should be given a second chance at life. Let them enlist in the USMC and they can do all the violence and killing that they love to do in Iraq and legally!
I have heard that, and also I have heard that this was not the first time M. Bell had been in court....I read an article that stated that he had a nice history going and all he was getting was probation, i tend to think after that maybe the court thought they would go after a stiffer charge so that he may get some jail time a learn a lesson....but like i said from the beginning, i think this was a case that got blown way out of proportion and now all the facts are skewed and no one will really know what the true facts are!
