Any thoughts about this?

All I know is what I read on Wikipedia. Some black kids beat up a white kid in a segregated town. Black kids either did or didn't get a fair trial, depending on whether you ask white people or the NAACP. Now black people are protesting en masse, and due to the protest two schools are gonna be shut down because they expect a riot.

I generally hate the NAACP and Jesse Jackson. I hate mass protests by groups of dipshits who blindly protest (not calling black people dipshits, but every black person I've talked to is protesting due to the mere fact that the "victims" are black). But I also hate racist rednecks and unfair trials.

Considering Jena is a hell-hole stuck in the 1960's, I feel sympathy for these kids.

Segregation is still rampant in Jena and just recently they removed the "white tree" from the local high school. It was a place where the white kids would sit on hot days.

These kids are being charged with attempted murder and trumped up charges. It's stupid. The kid was out of the hospital on the same day and was fine.

What do you mean "removed", they uprooted a tree for this? That's kinda idiotic, what did the tree ever do...
