b/c i was cut short...and since when does anyone have to ask to sit under a tree!!! no i do not live anywhere near jena...but i have studied this insane mess...black, white, spanish, or any other race no one deserves to spend jail time for a fight! days out of those young men lives are being taken away because of small ignorance...supend them...hell, if you want to make a point remove them from that school, but do not take their lives away! sidenote: i was down in jena when they raised the bail monies for mychael, and the judge still denied his bail (where is the justice???), i have also bee

i was disturbed when i read the message posted by momdad2007...yes they did fight the young man, but when does it become o.k. for anyone of any race/gender to serve 22 years in jail for a school fight???? and if the young man was beaten severly how did he attend a school function later on that night??? people need to understand that not all of these young men are being prosecuted because of the fight...a few of them are being prosecuted because they removed a gun from one of the white students, removed the bullets and turned the gun in (so how are they to be encouraged to do the "right thing")

please remember when the jena 6 are being honored at your award show, they beat the crap out of a kid...doesn't matter if the kid was white, he still got beat up. it doesn't matter that he may or may not have hung a noose in a tree, he still was beaten severely by 6 students. the jena 6 have been glamorized for beating a fellow student. if your child should find themself on the wrong end of 6 fellow students and their flying fists, remember that you honored 6 boys who beat the living daylights out of another boy. and yeah, i live 20 minutes from jena, la, so i know the whole story. you ca
