Here is a refresher on this travesty, thanks from Leftist Looney Lunchbox: Jena Six Update.
Well, the dates for the marches and protests are coming up fast, with Al Sharpton's being on the 20th. For those who cannot be there physically (like myself), it is asked that fellow supporters dress in black that day and try to get as many people in the know as possible.
Considering the staggering details of this case, it still mystifies me how no news shows are talking about it. It practically screams 'ratings stunt'. And yet, why is it the only places I hear about this is either on terrestrial radio stations or online? What the hell, man?
I want to address something else: there are quite a few people who seem to think that these protests are some sort of validation for some of the boys' actions. Indeed, they did assault a fellow student, and that is against the law. But a few scrapes and bruises resulting from alleged racist remarks towards a person who suffered a similar attack DOES NOT JUSTIFY A ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE. And that is what the outrage is about. Do not get it mixed up.
Last Minute Addition: A lot of folks seem to be really thrilled that OJ Simpson is in jail on burglary and assault charges. My opinion: who the fuck should care? Yes, he killed his wife and got away with it, but no assumed jail time is going to suddenly fix everything. Even if he is found guilty, it still won't be because of murder and he will still tout his innocence, so any pats on the back and high fives are moot. Here is something you may not know about all those black folks touting his innocence: they all knew he was guilty. They only rooted for him because they wanted to see if a black man could actually be rich enough to buy his innocence. The fact it was a white woman was a bonus. Don't act like it isn't true. They wanted to see some sort of fairness in the system, even if it was a perverted kind of fairness. And so it was proven that the only color that matters in this world is green (or to be more accurate, gold, because not all currency is green).
Why do I bring this up here? Because a catastrophe of law is going on in Jena, and nobody seems to care. But a washed-up ex-football player who will always be known as a slimebag murderer gets caught stealing from a hotel room, and suddenly justice is being served and all is well with the world. Wake up. There are much more important things going on, and instead of worrying about OJ (which he wants, because he craves the attention), folks need to fix the wrongdoings going on now. It is too late for Nicole to get the justice she deserved, but it isn't too late to help these guys.
