So what is the truth about Jena, La?
I have read several articles and listened to some reasonable people talk about it.
Seems the white students recieved an in house suspension for the noose incident. Seems some black students organized a silent protest under the tree and the police and the DA were called out.
Nov 30 the administration building of Jena High was burned down. Each side blamed the other.
In Dec a black student was beaten when he tried to attend a party that consisted mostly of whites. I dont see anything indicating any charges were pressed against those attackers.
After the party a day or two later a white person pulled a shotgun on the black student and friends the black students took the shotgun away. The black persons were arrested for theft of a firearm while the white person had no charges pressed.
I have also read that the guy that got knocked out by the punch and kicked a few times was using the N-word prior to the incident. Two wrongs dont make a right. The student who was hit and kicked was taken to the hospital and released and attended a high school social function that same night.
Attempted murder sounds a little drastic to me. Assault charges I would agree with. Seems like the judge has overturned the conviction and sent it to a juvenile court.
Sounds to me like Jena may have a problem
Only they know for sure.
