The Case of the Jena Six September 9, 2007
Posted by Idta in : Constitution, Criminal Law, Law Enforcement , trackbackIn a Louisiana school, there’s still segregated shade!
After a black student sat under the “white only” shade tree, someone hung three nooses from the tree. Racial tensions erupted, and six young black men were charged with attempted murder for a fight at school. Apparently no whites were charged, although at least one black student was beaten up.
P.S. A librarian in town called the nooses “a prank.”
We don’t have a race problem. It’s not black against white. It’s crime. The nooses? I don’t even know why they were there, what they were supposed to mean. There’s pranks all the time, of one type or another, going on. And it just didn’t seem to be racist to me.
