Jena 6 Submitted by Elijah Lineberry on Thu, 2007-09-20 20:56.
Oh dear, there is another hysterical 'Civil Rights' protest because a group of Negros were arrested and charged with attempted murder. These people set upon some poor chap last December, knocked him to the ground, and repeatedly kicked him causing serious injuries. It seems that when Negros go on a rampage and use unprovoked force against a White person, not only is that okay but it results in 60,000 people attending a protest march! The main point of contention is these guilty chaps are facing very long prison sentences, and rightly so, as various victims of similar activities in Auckland in the last couple of weeks would agree. Al Sharpton called for "Federal Intervention to protect people from Southern injustice" which is his usual way of saying "We are black so it's different". The District Attorney (who seems a very sensible man) said "It is about finding justice for an innocent victim and holding people accountable for their actions" If only we took a similar line and held ethnic minorities accountable for their misbehaviour and regular indulgence in crimes against property and white people.

David Bowie is a useful idiot.
TV1
ran the story on the midday news.
Anyone unfamiliar with the details would have watched the story and said "gosh, those racist, ignorant redneck white people in Jena".
What One News failed to point out was the guilt of these negro teenagers, so the story was "they are facing long jail sentences...[because of racist rednecks].." rather than the more accurate "they are facing long jail sentences ..[because of their violent actions].."
This is the same One News which had an ocean of crocodile tears about teenage murders, in very similar circumstances, in recent days.
The hypocrisy!
What a load of horse dung!
What a load of horse dung! They are angry because of the initial "attempted murder" charges, is that it? Come on, where ever you go in the world they try out the upper most limit of plausible charges first and work from there.
Just look at this NZ case. A chef in Christchurch was initially charged with attempted murder for stabbing, with his chef's knife, one member of a gang of people who were attacking him. They were carrying "hammers, spanners, a flick-knife and metal bars", though they hadn't used them yet. (Do you really think he was going to give them the benefit of the doubt?) But looking at the highest plausible charge first is standard practice anywhere.
Get over it, knee-jerk negros!
