Well has anyone heard about the Jena 6 trials? I've been reading it onlien all day and I'm shocked at it still. Long story short, these kids deserve justice! Yeah, it was wrong to jump the boy.. but peopel get jumped everyday! To tell you the truth! But no one usually gets charged with second degree murder or agg. battery because of it! it's stupid! and the boy the jumped was only bruised or so and got release the same day.

something simliar happend in my town, but it wasn't a hate crime or anything. a guy got really drunk and got beat up and put into acoma and people were saying it was this one big black guy (when it wasnt) and anyways he was supposed to get 6-10 years in prison .. and it was only one guy .. anyways they had no proof he did it so it got dropped .. but i mean the guy was in acoma and really bad and they wanted to charge the black guy w/ 6-10 years.. in Jena, it was a few kids that barely beat up a boy for pretty much talking shit about a lot of racial stuff and he gets 22 years in prison!! they lowered the charges and the main guy is getting tried today.. but still... crazy shit!
