Blaw is absolutely right , reardless of Race it should be punishable. But can you imagine if it WERE 6 wht kids vs. 1 Black kid?? then it's a Hate Crime isnt't it??
Now look at this Virginia beating on tape - I guess this isn't a racial thing either eh?Al & Jesse are racists, they only defend their own color and never make amends when wrongly accusing innocent people - DUKE LAX
it should be a hate crime whatever way the cookie falls.

lastly, "Jena 6" sounds more like a video game to me.

^dork
duquesne = duke.

note to jesse and al:
if you defend everyone, regardless of the facts, simply because of their race, that would make you racist.re: duquesne lacrosse
re: michael vicksometimes people just suck, regardless of their family history.

if it were the other way around, blacks would be calling for the same charges

yes, I'm sure they would. I would hope regardless of the race involved, if a kid gets jumped and stomped into a coma that charges get pressed accordingly

if you play on xbox live (Halo 2 in particular) you'll know that racism is alive and well.

sad and terrifying.
some one should be looking at their folks.
best thing to do is make every kid live in a different part of the world or different city. living in one small place your entire life - it's easy to believe you (and what you are taught) are all that matters in the world

The whole things seems stupid and it's a shame race is clouding it up. 6 kids jumping 1 is pretty serious... I can't defend them on that.
...and it does sound like a band name.

who just saw that fabulous Fabregras goal? 6 games 6 goals (well 5 goals).

the term Jena 6 is just ridiculous. Let's keep issuing throwback statements that will always remind us of the past so we can never move forward. Fuck those kids for hanging the nooses, fuck those kids for gang jumping 1 kid. It's a cluster fuck, and yes, they're kids... this is a problem that is much bigger than a quantity of just 8 kids.

and it was called "the new world"
:O

think of it this way with color thrown to the side. 6 kids beat up 1 kid. 6 Vs. 1 beat him to a coma, permanent brain damage. is aggravated battery too much?
it sounds to me like justice should be carried out regardless of color.
you can bet if the tables were reversed it would be "white kids beat up a black" and Jesse and Al would be screaming for Hate crimes

That is just ... well, words fail me.
After giving it some thought I guess I should not be that surprised after all there was that article about the the "black prom" and "white prom" a couple months ago.

Jena 6 sounds like a band name, or the name of a sci-fi movie.

The worst (and tackiest) thing I saw in the south (Kentucky) was a confederate flag in someones yard that said Git R Done across it.

yes, very serious. I lived in Duluth for a little bit before moving to downtown ATL.
When I first moved there my Dad drove me out there to show me the unreal display. It is frightening.
