Apparently not. But I guess you call the Associated Press news wire racist. Because the information there directly contradicts many of the assertations of yourself and Chanda.

Umm... now your getting confused.

YOU are using blogs as your sources.

I am using news sources, like the christian science monitor and the Jena Times.

YOU are ignoring the FACTS

Also,
I demand for you to quote a post somewhere where I used a blog in reference to the Jena incident. Anywhere.

I used no blogs to support my position on the Jena incident.

I don't like being accused of something I didn't do. Its not intellectually honest.

???? Facts???? merely repeating allegations that have been made.

Snopes is usually pretty good about providing sources. When they dont, such as their description of the fight at the party, I tend to question their totally unsupported allegations.

I see nothing in snopes to support that assertion. Did you just make it up?

Most people understand it wasn't a fight it was a premeditated assault.

that ultimately resulted in a swollen eye and minor cuts and abrasions

Why do you purposely leave out a concussion? You blatant attempts to miminalize the assault are BLARING and prove how weak your case is.

Quote:

, and because the DA had previously threatened to "end their lives...with his pen," they attribute it to racism.

Which had to do with an entirely different matter but quite appropriate for the local law to make sure kids know that if you break the law you will be held accountable.

This is a town that overwhelmingly voted for white supremacist, David Duke.

Over convicted criminal Edwin Edwards, but then they voted overwhelmingly for Kathleen Blanco.

You are defending the indefensible with specious and baseless arguments.

News can be biased and is not always the most reliable source. They aren't omnipotent, they don't know everything. Research should involve as many sources as you can find and then the individual reading it should judge which sources should be considered most reliable. I have researched many sites on this case, and I have found multiple articles and blogs on both sides to be too biased to believe. There are plenty of people out there who are racist, but there are way more people that do not believe the cries of racism simply because it doesn't fit with all the information that is given and keeps coming out. People are not being racist because they don't believe everything they read, even if it's from a news source.

If what Snopes is reporting about the Fair Barn incident is true, then how come Bailey or his family didn't say something before when Sloan was charged? For that matter, how come none of the cops that came out to the incident noticed that Bailey was bleeding if he was hit in the head with multiple beer bottles? I can't believe the cops wouldn't do something to help someone if they were bleeding from the head. If their version is true, then Bailey had a legitimate case to press more charges. Why did it only come out after Bailey got in trouble? This sounds really fishy to me and that is why I choose to consider the version that is supported by police, the DA, and other "racist" sites, as you Citizen would call them, as more reliable.

AP news presented the facts. Your Blog article and opinion pages distorted the facts. Just because you don't like the facts because they do not support your prejudices, do not means that they are not facts.

The D.A claims that he did not know about the beer bottles. The boy attacked at the party claims that he was not given a chnace to testify. I am not sure if he was bleeding frm the head. But all reports indicate that he was hit by beer bottles and there were more than one person who attacked he and he did not hit back.

You believe what you want to belive because it suits your prejudices. I rely on facts. That is the difference between you and I. Blogs and racist sites have no credibility.

The law in LA says that Bell can't be tried as an adult for these but that doesn't mean that he couldn't be tried as an adult in other states for these charges. The circuit court does not necessarily agree that the charges are unfair and excessive. They overturned the verdict because Louisiana law does not allow a minor to be tried as an adult for the current charges. They did not say the charges were unfair and excessive.

Well look at it anyway you want to. But I never said that the D.A was racist. But you must agree that the charges were excessive.

From what I read, It supports exactly what I have said. Prove me wrong if you can.
