love this part:

......The next day, Bailey ran into a young white man who was at the party. Bailey and parents of the Jena Six say that when the man pulled a gun on him, he tangled with him and stripped it away. He was later charged with theft of a firearm.

So a guy pulls a gun on you, you fight him and take his gun..... and you are charged with stealing his gun????

Wow... this town is racially stuck in the good 'ole boy days....

Hell maybe the guy who got his ass kicked deserved it! Oh yea, the deadly weapon was a tennis shoe!

Did you all read how the barber in the town will not cut black people's hair because the white folk would then not come in anymore?

From all of the anecdotal evidence of the bias of the legal system in Jena it is easy to comprehend how things could get out of control.

Yes the six guys who beat up the white guy should be punished. However, the punishment should fit the crime. They should be charged with battery and should then recieve probation.

I am sure Mr. Sharpton thinks these poor kids are being screwed by a prejudiced and biased small town legal system. That is what I think too....
