the Jena 6

Sounds like a real messed up situation and a lot of things leading to the incident.

But a question asked by a co-worker after reading this. Reverse the colors. If it was reversed, would you see busloads of whites going to protest the case?

Our court system is very unbalanced. Hanging a noose in a tree is wrong, but not anywhere as severe as basically beating to death a person. Plus one of the defendants has a heavy record against him. I don’t see anything good coming out of this other than making the situation even more segregated down there.

To me its pretty simple if they arent given a fair punishment then the race tension will get worse and more violence will happen.

So who determines fair?
