Regardless here are the FACTS of what occurred in Jena, LA:<BR/><BR/>1. Jena H.S. blacks took over the picnic tables, the grassy area by the gym, etc. and pushed the white kids out. The white kids then gravitated to the end of the campus and sat under a tree at lunch. The blacks dubbed it "the white tree", and they decided to push the white kids from there, too. Three white kids hung nooses from the tree in protest, and they were suspended from school.<BR/><BR/>2. A group of black kids attempted to crash an off-campus party attended by black and white kids. One of the black party crashers was kicked and punched.<BR/><BR/>3. A group of blacks jumped a lone white kid at a convenience market. The white kid ran to his pickup truck and retrieved a shotgun (not a rifle) to defend himself. The blacks assaulted and beat him anyway...and then stole the shotgun.<BR/><BR/>4. Finally, six blacks jumped a white kid in a school hallway and beat him into unconciousness. After the white kid was on the ground and unconcious, Mychal Bell continued to kick him in the head until dragged away by teachers.<BR/><BR/>The only "racism" I see in this issue is black on white racism. Shallow thinkers blindly swallow the propaganda they're fed. Intelligent people do some research before forming their opinions and before repeating lies all over the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
