Still at the end of the copied text where it has always been einstein. Now where is yours?

Quote:
“The facility was rented by a woman who was throwing a party for
her daughter,” Arbogast said. “During the course of that party that
night, where both blacks and whites attended, Robert Bailey, Jr.
and some other friends came to the party seeking a mutual friend
inside the party.”
Walters said that according to the statement given by Robert
Bailey, Jr., he was asked to leave by the person who was giving the
party.
“My understanding of the case is that the mother was going back
inside to get the friend and the defendant (Justin Sloan) comes out
and hits him (Bailey),” Walters said. “A scuffle ensues and then
Mr. Bailey leaves. All of this took place outside of the fair barn.”
The DA noted that this was not a fight because Robert Bailey did
not swing at Sloan or fight back.
“He did not do anything,” Walters said. “Robert Bailey, Jr. was the
victim of this incident. He was hit by the defendant’s fist, knocked
down, some type of scuffle occurred, then Mr. Bailey left.”
The police and DA noted that contrary to reports since the incident
that a beer bottle was used in the attack of Bailey, Bailey’s own
statement written after the incident said that he was hit only with
the fist of Sloan.
“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.’ He did not go
to the hospital for stitches and there is no medical evidence other
than this was a simple battery.”
Walters said that Sloan was arrested for simple battery, prosecuted
for simple battery, pled guilty to simple battery, and was sentenced
for simple battery.
“As part of his sentence, he was made to apologize to Robert
Bailey in open court,” Walters said. “In sumassion, it started as a
simple battery, the evidence supported a simple battery, and it was
prosecuted as a simple battery. It was only after the fact, after the
‘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.”

Your so busy looking at the friggin' color of people's skins that your failing to see the facts.

I hope you feel stupid now reading the information contained within Media myths about the Jena 6 | csmonitor.com
And telling ME that im "making this up as I go along" just because I refuse to fall in line with the mainstream in screaming racism before knowing the facts of the situation not to be misconstrued with the "story" as the Jena 6 family members tell it.

Your nothing more than a race baiter, obviously, if you can't seem to discuss the issue without calling someone a racist.

Im not a racist, I just despise the race baiters turning EVERYTHING into a friggin' race issue, then only finding out that it isn't a race isn't as big of a factor as they thought.

The West Virginia Rape Story comes to mind (black victim was dating white suspect)

If all those friggin' race baiters REALLY want to find some racism against, blacks, why not focus on the genocide of blacks in LA?

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles...xicangangs.htm

Why can I not find a more reliable source for the story? Probably because the mainstream media hasn't bothered with making it a major headline yet, Even though its deserving of one..

Why? Hint: The people doing the killing aren't white, thus it doesn't fit the media's criteria for race relations reporting.

*cough cough* Ahem... You gonna respond to this or run and hide??????!?!?!?!?

One kid fight a black kid who had become beligerent when he was tresspassing at a private party. NOT a premeditated assault with the intent to cause harm and turned into an attempted murder although that charge later lowered.

The person charge pled guilty there was no trial.
Oh spare me, you obviously have no idea what happened or the facts in the case. Go get up to speed if you are going to try and argue the matter here.

Defending yourself with a gun is perfectly legal.
Kiss my arse then, you just ended any further attempt at civil debate. You are ignorant of the facts and your using personal slander as a debate tactic gets ya ignored.

Since I provided the link with the text when I originally posted it AND reproduced it again today for yet a second time, just what response do you imagine is required?

Caine

Not YOU, I was talking about Citizen responding to my post that he/she promptly ignored even though he/she responded to posts made AFTER by you.

And, i noticed your link has basically the same information as mine, as thus he/she still has not responded to EITHER of our posts and the information within.

What evidence do you have that Jena 6 family members are untrustworthy sources? They are undoubtedly biased sources, but so is yours.

The CSM didn't research this story, it published an article written by the associate editor of the The Jena Times. The article is biased to the point of dishonesty. For instance, the article states:

"There has never been a “whites-only” tree at Jena High School. Students of all races sat underneath this tree."

This is misleading. On rare occasions, students of either race may have crossed the demarcation sidewalk, but the tree was traditionally a white students' gathering spot as admitted by the students.

"(The nooses) were understood to be a prank by three white students aimed at their fellow white friends, members of the school rodeo team. (The students apparently got the idea from watching episodes of “Lonesome Dove.”)

This version has been abandoned in favor of yet another excuse: The nooses were hung in anticipation of the upcoming game with the "Mustangs." So, two versions, and neither of them explain why, if the nooses were only an innocent prank, did the principal originally recommend expulsion?

There are many other examples, but the most flagrant one, IMO, is this:

"When District Attorney Reed Walters spoke to Jena High students at an assembly in September, he did not tell black students that he could make their life miserable with 'the stroke of a pen.' ”

Alan Bean explains:

"No one has ever suggested that Reed Walters threatened to make the lives of students “miserable”–he said he could make their lives disappear (a slight difference in tone, you’ll agree). Also, we must remember that school assemblies in Jena have traditionally been segregated. That’s the way it was when the high school integrated in 1970; and that’s the way it has remained. Black students insist he was looking at the black side of the auditorium when he issued his threat; but I don’t think it matters where he was looking.

We are being asked to believe that an irate Reed Walters told chatty white girls that he would use the power of his office to destroy their lives if they didn’t shut up. This is nonsense; but even if it’s true, is that the kind of prosecutor you want in the LaSalle Parish courthouse?'

Craig Franklin's article is further debunked:

The story you haven’t heard (unless you’ve been paying attention) « Friends of Justice

Okay. Its obvious that the Jena 6 family members, The Final Call founded by Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, and Friends for Justice BLOGS are biased sources. Can you intelligently explain to me how the Jena Times is a biased source? Can you explain to me how the Christian Science Monitor is a biased source?


Proof?

Proof? Your just gonna say this stuff you got off of a blog? Were you a student at Jena High during this time?

Quote:

"(The nooses) were understood to be a prank by three white students aimed at their fellow white friends, members of the school rodeo team. (The students apparently got the idea from watching episodes of “Lonesome Dove.”)

1. So your telling me now that you KNOW what the nooses were understood BY PARTICULAR STUDENTS. I'd like to know where you get your brain wave reading machine, I'd like to get one of those.

2. Where did you get your ancitipation of a game with the Mustangs story?

You do realize its hard for me to believe you because you have thrown out so many "theories" in this thread its sad right?

So, its a flagrant exaggeration because Alan Bean (biased blogger man for a liberal organization with just THIS type of agenda) has suggested that you "imagine" that the DA was talking to the Blacks, with no other reason? This is horse****.


WoW! Another blog!

Alan Bean (Friends of Justice) is as credible a source as you will find on this issue. He has spent considerable time in Jena talking with people on both sides, examining legal documents, attending hearings, etc. He has more firsthand knowledge than any reporter could possibly have. He is an advocate for justice, not an advocate for blacks. He has a "BLOG", but unlike most blogs, his is based on personal and in-depth research and experience in Jena.

The Jena Times has acted as an unquestioning spokesman for DA Walters. This should be obvious in its reporting of his "chatty white girls" excuse for threatening the students. It has also defended actions of the school administration for dismissing the noose incident as a "prank." But most of all, as residents of Jena, the editors are embarrassed by the international attention portraying their town as racist and backwater, and in trying to downplay that image, they haven't been honest.

It isn't usually biased, but in this case, it published a very one-sided story, not one researched by its own writers.

It has been reported by a number of sources who have actually interviewed Jena residents. Howard Witt (Chicago Tribune) and Democracy Now have also spent a lot of time in Jena researching the story. When the black student asked permission to sit under the "white tree," the principal didn't have to ask what he meant, he said, "Sit where you want."

No, I'm saying their alibis make no sense, and it's not just coincidental the nooses appeared on that particular tree just hours after Purvis asked permission and then stood under that tree.

A number of sources. Try your google.

I think it's sad that you refuse to acknowledge even the possibility that DA Walters may have engaged in prosecutorial misconduct, and you conveniently disregard (black parents, black organizations, liberal organizations) anyone representing the Jena 6 as credible sources. Conveniently for you, the only sources you deem credible are the ones that agree with the position you have prejudged to be right.
