One of the Jena 6 hit the kid, fess up!
by jacorky

Free the Jena 6? No way. One of the 6 hit the kid. They should admit it. That's what the protesters should have been asking for as well. That would have gone a long way toward demanding accountablilty and would've got more white support for their other grievances.

Hit? They pounded his body like they were making hamburger. The boy was lucky to not be in a coma, unlike the boy in Baltimore.

Wow!!! The facts speak for themselves, the young man that was attacked, was released from the hospital that same day. Later that eveing he was able to attend a party. I don't think for one second what the boys did was right, but to subject those young men to these trumped up charges is absurd. The young men have the right to remain silent, and I can't blame them for using that right. After all they don't live in the most fiendly place.

Actually I agree with your use of the term "Fiendly" (your second to last word). They don't live in the most fiendly place.

So if I shoot at you with a gun but either miss or barely graze you I should not be charged with attempted murder because you were either not harmed or not seriously injured? I hope you see how illogical your statement is.

I can use the same flawed logic to make the opposite argument; Why does the media NOT point out that the white student was attacked from behind and knocked unconscience by the first blow of the attack which was to the back of his head? If you consider that the white student was knocked out and unable to protect/defend himself the entire time the "Jena 6" kicked and stomped on him what other intentions other than killing the guy could they have had?

A gun is a weapon. A sneaker is NOT a weapon. The idea is to voice our opinions based on the facts. For someone to state that he/she would shot me to prove a point, I think you missed that point. I hope you see how illogical your statement is.

I don't think that people fight one another to kill them. I have fought with my brothers and sisters and my INTENTIONS were never to kill them, but to stop them from whatever they were doing.
