HEY YOU GUYS!!!!
In this blog I guess I will be talking about my feelings toward the JENA 6 incident. As I have read various articles about this devastating situation, I have formed many opinions about this topic. When I first heard about JENA 6, the first thing I thought about was the Civil Rights Movement part 2. Which most of you guys now this incident was an alledgely race crime. I really don't know how to start of my explanation of my feelings about this so if you have any questions about this blog feel free to talk to me.
To describe my feelings about the JENA 6 incident is how come these young black students where charge with such harsh penalties when the two young white boys of the Columbine shooting just got a little penalty for their actions. I really don't understand that. To my understandment, the various articles and news media stated that six black boys jump a white boy. I understand that is wrong but how can you charge anybody 22 years in jail just for fighting. This incident infuriates me. I say this because (back to the Columbine shooting) the two white boys who went on a killing spree in Arkansas a few years back were set free not to long ago. If anything they should be locked up for 22+ years. Right is just right? People lost their love ones, and they justice system didn't do what they should have. SERVE JUSTICE EQUALLY! Grant the fact that a young man was hurt during the JENA 6 altercation, however, no one was murdered. I have also read that the following night or weekend after the JENA 6 altercation the white young man, went to a party as if nothing happened. That doesn't make any sense to me. If you are 'SO' hurt from being jumped..why are you out partying. I do agree with Al Sharpton and everyone else who thinks that this whole ordeal is about race. If it isn't what is it about?
*SO HAPPY THAT THE JENA 6 BOYS ARE FREE!!*

I think it got blown up because of race. The only reason either group attacked each other is because they were black or white. I think the only way to look at it is to examine the story without color. Both races in certain cases are treated unequally and it really frustrates me because I'm not racist and I know a lot of good people that get caught up in a history that didn't even pertain to them. We need to start off on a clean slate.
