Race isn’t an excuse for thuggery and make no mistake the so-called “Jenna Six” who have the media whores Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton showing their ass - once again - are thugs.

In case you’ve missed it the Jena Six are six thugs - who happen to be black - who kicked the hell out of a white student. Jackson and Sharpton have fired up the local community with the same old “deflection” they use all the time in these cases. Hitherto the beating a group of white kids evidently tied a noose or two to their favorite tree on the school grounds. What followed were fights between white and black students esclating to the point when the Jena Six attacked and beat a white student leading to all being charged with attempted murder. Jason Whitlock, a black columnist recounts the event and it’s important because the truth of what happened has been lost in the Jackson/Sharpton circus.

“There was no ‚Äúschoolyard fight‚Äù as a result of nooses being hung on a whites-only tree.

Justin Barker, the white victim, was cold-cocked from behind, knocked unconscious and stomped by six black athletes. Barker, luckily, sustained no life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital three hours after the attack.

A black U.S. attorney, Don Washington, investigated the “Jena Six” case and concluded that the attack on Barker had absolutely nothing to do with the noose-hanging incident three months before. The nooses and two off-campus incidents were tied to Barker’s assault by people wanting to gain sympathy for the “Jena Six” in reaction to Walters’ extreme charges of attempted murder.

Much has been written about Bell‚Äôs trial, the six-person all-white jury that convicted him of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery and the clueless public defender who called no witnesses and offered no defense. It is rarely mentioned that no black people responded to the jury summonses and that Bell‚Äôs public defender was black.”

He also notes that Bell who was already on probation for a previous assault prior to this incident.

This isn’t a story of “racial injustice”, it’s simple “Crime 101″.

Apparently the judiciary is in agreement.
