Bloggers tackle the Jena 6"

By Richie

I have posted different views on this topic and my view is simply that Jena has undealt with racial tensions and this incident simply exposed this. I also think that the media is provoking the
story to create a circus like atmosphere, I do however think that considering what these boys did the sentence imposed on to them is not justified. They should not have taken the law into there hands and beat this guy.

This is the reason they are behind bars for assault, but to give these boys so many years is an injustice. The white kids provoked these boys and knew very well that such a sensitive weapon like a noose hanging in the yard would create a backlash. The fact is you have a city and a district attorney with there head in the sand on the racial tension occuring in there city. There ignoring it has lead to this moment and should be a warning to any town big or small who prtetends that all is well.
