down, some type of scuffle occurred, then Mr. Bailey left.”…
“There was no statement given by the victim at that time that any
weapon was used in the attack,” Walters said. “There is nothing in
his statement that says ‘he hit me with a beer bottle.’

So why did you leave this little tidbit out

"It was only after the fact that I learned that a beer bottle was involved, that stitches were involved," Walters continued.

Jow do you know that there was no medical documentation to prove it? Are you saying that Walters is a liar?

Entertaining to watch you constantly abandon your arguements and run to another.

‘Jena Six’ began to receive national attention that I heard that a
beer bottle was involved and stitches were involved. So, I checked
with the local hospital and there was no medical evidence to
support the accusation.”

The night after the fire, Robert Bailey Jr. and some of his black friends tried to enter a party in town mostly attended by whites. Bailey was attacked and struck with beer bottles once he finally got inside; one of the students was later charged with simple battery and given probation.

The next day at a convenience store, Bailey traded insults with one of the white students who had been at the party. The white teen ran to his truck and tried to pull a shotgun on Bailey. Bailey wrestled the gun away from the white teen and took off with the weapon.

Bailey, 16 at the time, was charged with theft of a firearm, second-degree battery and disturbing the peace.

At school the following Monday, white student Justin Barker reportedly taunted Bailey during lunch about getting pummeled at the party. Minutes later, Barker was walking into the courtyard with his girlfriend when he was confronted by a group of black students

Different between protecting a woman who is surrounded by thugs trying to force their way into an .. hold on.. say it with me.... INVITATION ONLY PARTY without an invitation, and a group of thugs wanting to beat a kid up because he is white, and may have... *gasp* SAID A BAD WORD!!!!! OH NO MOMMY!.

You really know very little about the TRUTH in this situation do you?

You've rather read stuff like The Final Call founded by Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam and other black supremacy sites to get your information, or get your information from sources that got the story straight from the.. *gasp* family members of the jena 6. Thats a really non-biased credible source!

Your quote from the prosecutor appears no where in the article you linked to. And I provided the link along with the quote I provided.

And the only person who could account for THIS story was, Robert Bailey Jr.

My sources says this,

When they were denied entrance by the renter of the facility, a white male named Justin Sloan (not a Jena High student) at the party attacked Bailey and hit him in the face with his fist. This is reported in witness statements to police, including the victim, Robert Bailey, Jr.
Months later, Bailey contended he was hit in the head with a beer bottle and required stitches. No medical records show this ever occurred. Mr. Sloan was prosecuted for simple battery, which according to Louisiana law, is the proper charge for hitting someone with a fist.
WoW.... A Drastically different story from your own now isn't it?

Okay. And what my source says about this incident.......

The three were accused by police of jumping a white man as he entered the store and stealing a shotgun from him. The two parties gave conflicting statements to police. However, two unrelated eye witnesses of the event gave statements that corresponded with that of the white male.

Imagine that.... My source has researched this story for myths as well.

Several black students, including those now known as the Jena 6, barricaded an exit to the school's gym as they lay in wait for Justin Barker to exit. (It remains unclear why Mr. Barker was specifically targeted.)
When Barker tried to leave through another exit, court testimony indicates, he was hit from behind by Mychal Bell. Multiple witnesses confirmed that Barker was immediately knocked unconscious and lay on the floor defenseless as several other black students joined together to kick and stomp him, with most of the blows striking his head. Police speculate that the motivation for the attack was related to the racially charged fights that had occurred during the previous weekend.
Wow... Imagine that.

Interesting...
Note that your source article was written a full two months prior to mine. This might be an indication that your source is when the story originally broke, and the information obtained by the source was obtained through untrustworthy sources (Like the family members of the Jena 6).

My source was published less than a month ago, after the story broke big and there were so many conflicting statements as to what really happened. They got in and discovered that there were several myths reported by the mainstream media, probably to get the story more hype and thus more viewership or newspaper sales. However, the Christian Science Monitor got their information the the local Jena news reporters and police, you know, the people who have been dealing with this incident from the beginning of this unconnected chain of events.

So when did this become an invitation only party and how was protecting a womwn. You make this up as you go along. all i am asking you to do is look at the facts. You refused because you have made up your mind that the black are fully guilty and coused the whole problem and the whites are fully inocent. I say that the fire was fueling from the original noose hanging and got out of hand. The white kids who beat up the black kid is just as guilty as the black kids who beat up the white kids. The punishment for the black kids was excessive. White kids who bring guns to school and shoot up the school don't get tried as an adult so why did Mychal Bell get tried as an adult for a fight in which no one was serverely injured. Justice is not equal. Bell, who is being held without bond. This was excessive. His previous cases were adjudicated so there was no need to keep him in jail and try him as an adult. There are too many facts frabricated. To made the black kids in this incident the demons is racist.
