What I don't get is the protesters who are calling for all charges to be dropped, and in the same breath, want the kids who hung the noose to go to jail for hate crimes... That's just hypocrisy. The noose thing is hate, not hate crime. The beating is a hate crime.
Based only on the media's portrayal of the events, I think that the white kids who hung the noose should be expelled, and the black kids who hung the noose should be expelled, charged with assault (not murder, it does not appear to have been a murder case) and hate crimes, and go to jail. Of course, none of us have been there, and don't know the honest facts of the case. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vivec" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 12:19 PM Subject: Re: Sentencing of the Jena 6 in 72 hours. > At least you think they do have a need to fight back. > > There are some that think what happened was absolutely just and fair. > > On 9/22/07, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I don't deny that they are both glory-seeking assholes.
