I'll discuss the 'Jena6'

When all the facts are clear. When Jesse and Sharpton have apologized to the Duke players and when someone brings up the "guess what would have happened if the roles were reversed" they just take a gander at what happened to the "Long Beach 8".

From what I've read so far, it is FUBAR from the get go, but over-charging the defendants doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished for a six-on-one beating. Indeed, it appears that for one of the perps, this was the third time he was arrested for assault.

The facts seem clear enough. The black kids beat up a white kid and the prosecutor over-charged.

when someone brings up the "guess what would have happened if the roles were reversed" they just take a gander at what happened to the "Long Beach 8".

I took a gander. They were convicted of felony assault. What's your point?

maybe you missed it, Josh.

the Long Beach perps, who permanently disfigured one of the women they tried to kill

got PROBATION. No incarceration, no rehab counseling...just probation. AND they had rap sheets.

And the "demands" of Sharpton and other race hustlers is that the Jena6 be completely exonerated because they were "over charged." So where is Sharpton protesting the miscarriage of justince in the Long Beach case?

Another great post Darlene. I could care less about the Jena 5 or whatever number they are.

Anytime you see Jackson and Sharpton spewing their wares you know that only the whackos are going to be following them. :)

A post about racism, and you feel compelled to remove almost every comment. Hmmm. Ever thought about how completely WRONG you are? When even most of the comments at your own blog must be removed?

I'm under no obligation to allow personal threats to remain on my site.

Now, you want to actually discuss the topic or just spam idiocy?

What bearing do the Long Beach 8 have on the Jena 6? The issue here is charging. The long beach kid was charged and convicted of a felony. If you think the sentence for felony assault is too light, take it up with the Judge. I don't see how a light sentence for some of the long beach perps justifies an attempted murder charge for people in Louisiana.

Also I don't see where Jackson or Sharpton called for their exoneration, though, again, what Jackson or Sharpton say isn't really relevant to whether they were overcharged.
