Jena September 20

Tens of thousands of protesters gathered Thursday in the town of Jena, Louisiana to demand justice for the Jena Six -- the six African American teenagers facing a total of over 100 years in prison for allegedly beating a white student in a schoolyard fight. The fight occurred after white students hung nooses from a tree at the school. Thursday's protest was one of the largest civil rights rallies in the South since the 1960s. According to the Associated Press the state police estimated as many as 60,000 people took part in a series of rallies and marches in Jena, a town of just 3,000 residents.

I love how one of the "Jena 6" is now back in jail for assaulting his teacher.

The Jena 6 beat a kid to near death because of the color of his skin. Now they want these 6 racists to walk free. How is that justice?

This is a black KKK rally. Instead of white sheets, they wear black shirts.

Please...Mychal Bell, had some trumped up "racist charges" against him and NONE were serious enough to LOCK HIM UP, as if they were, in JENA, he would have been locked up b4 this incident. The YT BOYZ got privilege in a YT town, with YT cops, YT DA's and YT judges!
