Sharpton and his ilk think black teens should be able to beat white teens to bloody pulps
There’s just no other way to describe the lunacy demonstrated by that sorry #ss race-hustling poverty pimp Al Sharpton, his partner in crime Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson, and their ignorant minions who now think that blacks should be able to do whatever the hell they want to do to whites if said blacks are “disrespected”. From Seattlestan’s fishwrap:
JENA, La. — Thousands of chanting demonstrators filled the streets of this little Louisiana town Thursday in support of six black teenagers initially charged with attempted murder in the beating of a white classmate.
The crowd broke into chants of “Free the Jena Six” as the Rev. Al Sharpton arrived at the local courthouse with family members of the jailed teens.
Sharpton told the Associated Press that he and Reps. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and William Jefferson, D-La., will press the House Judiciary Committee next week to summon the district attorney to explain his actions before Congress.
This could be the beginning of a 21st century’s civil rights movement challenge disparities in the justice system, he said, and he said he planned a November march in Washington.
“What we need is federal intervention to protect people from Southern injustice,” Sharpton told the AP. “Our fathers in the 1960′s had to penetrate the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, we have to do the same thing.”
The six black teens were charged a few months after three white teens were accused of hanging nooses in a tree on their high school grounds. The white teens were suspended from school but weren’t prosecuted. Five of the black teens were initially charged with attempted murder. That charge was reduced to battery for all but one, who has yet to be arraigned; the sixth was charged as a juvenile.
The beating victim, Justin Barker, was knocked unconscious, his face badly swollen and bloodied, though he was able to attend a school function later that night.
…
District Attorney Reed Walters stressed on Wednesday that race had nothing to do with the charges in Jena.Walters said he didn’t charge the white students accused of hanging the nooses because he could find no Louisiana law under which they could be charged. In the beating case, he said, four of the defendants were of adult age under Louisiana law and the only juvenile charged as an adult, Mychal Bell, had a prior criminal record.
“It is not and never has been about race,” Walters said. “It is about finding justice for an innocent victim and holding people accountable for their actions.”
“Disparities in the justice system”? Gimme a friggin’ break! The white teens weren’t prosecuted because as far as I know, doing stupid bigoted things like hanging a noose in a tree isn’t a crime. However, the last time I checked, violently assaulting someone is indeed a crime. I don’t have a problem with the idiot white snots being suspended, but unless they commited a crime, I don’t see what you can prosecute them for. The last time I checked, being a bigoted idiot wasn’t illegal, because if it were, then Jackson, Sharpton, et al would be incarcerated for eternity.
Seriously, though, it seems like whenever a black person commits a violent crime, their “bruthas and sistas” swarm to their defenses, regardless of whatever the facts may bear out. Has Sharpton or his minions condemned the violence that the black teens inflicted on the white teens? I haven’t seen anything to indicate this.
So while these race-baiting warlords are trying to maintain their relevance by ginning up outrage where none ought be, race relations could be set back several years with such public displays of idiocy. Then again, something tells me that this is exactly what the beneficiaries of racism (real or imagined) like Sharpton and Jackson and their ilk want to happen.

I do think the justice system still suffers from racial disparity but I don’t like how Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are pouring gasoline on the fire of racial discord!
I don’t think those youths should be charged with attempted murder but I don’t think they should go unpunished either!
I’d have no complaints if the justice system treated everybody the same and punished all crime accordingly!
Meaning a person doesn’t get special treatment by virtue of their race or sex!
I’m very annoyed that women can commit heinous crimes that would certainly mean jail for life or the death penalty in earlier times had a man committed the same deed!
I hate how they say let’s make an example of him or more like let’s hang ‘im!
How about make the punishment fit the crime and make race a non-issue!

Every time Jesse and Al open their mouths, they set back race relations by leaps and bounds. They have no moral relevancy – despite their purchased “reverend” titles. They are not men of God — they are Satan’s minions.

Let’s get this straight. There were 5 black youths that beat up on 1 white boy for something? It seems to me that it wouldn’t matter what the white boy did, that it still wouldn’t justify a 5-on-1 mugging!
I wonder what the outrage would be if 5 white boys beat up on 1 black boy?

I think the white kids who hung the nooses should have been arrested and prosecuted for criminal intimidation. It’s a travesty that they weren’t, and the superintendent who let it slide should be fired for negligence.
Even if that never happens, it’s absolutely appropriate that the “Jena 6″ were charged with attempted murder. Being offended over nooses still doesn’t justify violence.
I’ve heard some try to justify the mugging, saying that the white kid was just fine and went to a school function later that night. Just because the kids who was stomped by six others lived doesn’t mean they weren’t trying to kill him. If someone shoots me and happens to be a bad shot, it’s no less attempted murder.

Does such a law exist in Louisiana? If not, then they couldn’t be prosecuted under it. If such a law exists at the federal level, then I assume DOJ (and not the La. DA who’s getting skewered by the race pimps) should be getting questioned.

Well, at first I was inclined to think that the attempted murder charges may have been a little too steep, but as this story developed I realized that may not have been too far off the mark.
Reports from some of the eyewitness say that some of the black students assaulting him placed their feet on his head and throat in an apparent attempt to hold him down prevent him from breathing.
If that is the case it changes things drastically. You can beat someone up to teach them a lesson. However, there are consequences for violent actions taken agianst another individual and if you are standing on someone’s throat and attempting to prevent them from breathing, you have passed the point of teaching them a lesson and entered the realm of attempted murder. However, most of the charges have now been lowered to felony assaults, which seems to fit the crime just fine.
I tend to agree with Jonathan. The actions takend by the white kids were moronic, hateful and in my opinion worthy of an ass whooping. If one of these kids had beat some sense into one of the white kids to deliver a little homestyle education in manners, I think I would tell the white kid to lick his wounds and get over it. When six of them jump him, then it is no longer a personal lesson in respect, it becomes a crime fueled by race.
The actions of the white students where appalling and they should have been suspended immediately. However, if there was no law against such actions, then by default there was no crime committed. (I know liberals have a problem with understanding that concept. Just look at the US Attorney firings.)
Jackson and Sharpton will use any instance they possibly can to fuel racial tensions. They are a disgrace, plain and simple.

The sad thing is this whole thing could have been prevented by the school in Jena prior to the beatings and the white idiots hung the nooses. Apparently there had been considerable heat between the groups, and instead of using the opportunity to teach acceptance of others, they swept the hate under the carpet until it came back to bit them.
Pox on both their houses.
As for Jesse and Al, The attention seeking dogs they are, they remind me of the University of Florida dude who acted like a fool. They could only hope someone should taze them so they can get more attention.
Comment by Steve | September 24, 2007
White kids hanging a noose is hardly reason for any sort of retaliation. Get the fugg over it already.
Comment by Sparky | September 24, 2007
There was a piece of footage shown on the news this evening, half a dozen black young men beating a white young man ON TAPE. Be interesting to see how that plays out.
Comment by Lee | September 24, 2007
Vamp:
Intimidation requires threat of physical harm to persons or property of a specific victim. Not saying it’s right, but there wasn’t a crime.
You can argue that there was an implied threat, which I’m sure there was, but it’s not provable.
Comment by The Truth Hurts | September 25, 2007
Well now, isn’t this interesting………The black guys beating the white guy in Virginia was NOT racially motivated.
This is according to the police in Norfolk, Virginia. Whadda ya wanna bet the powers that be are trying to duck a “Jena 6″ situation???
