I think race is the least of the worries in this case. The kid, Bell has a record for violent crimes. If he were squeaky clean I imagine he would be out like the others.

The story does not say why the shotgun was pulled. Was it just a guy deciding to pull the gun or did he pull it out of fear? Was he threatened? These are the unanswered questions.

The incident at the party, what are the particulars. Was the kid attacked and defended himself? It says he beat up a guy for showing up at a party and if this is correct the police (if they were called) should have made an arrest.

This does not negate the bad behavior of the one guy who was charged. All the other bad behavior does not excuse the behavior he was arrested for. I have seen a lot of people involved in fights and the police make arrests when the beating is bad, as in when a person is beaten unconscious.

I can not answer about the other cases because they have not been publicized like the Bell case. Regardless of what happened, he should be held accountable for his action, albeit in juvenile court.

As long as the 2 biggest race baiters on the planet are out there stirring up the pots this kind of thing will always happen. This is how they can keep ripping off money from people who think that they are on their side. These 2 could care less about anyone but themselves. I am not sure about why it was ok for 6 black young men to beat senseless one young white man. I use the word man and men because they are.

They keep saying that the young white man went to his prom that night. Is there a reason that he shouldn’t have? Should he have let everyone think he was scared? I’m sure he wasn’t able to dance the night away. He had been beaten unconscious and had a concussion plus all of the damage to his face and body. So if he was able to show up for his senior prom why not. I’m sure he didn’t ride out the whole night.

If the one young man with a rap sheet is still in jail there must be a reason. If it’s just the 10% for the bail money why aren’t good old Sharpnot and Jessajerk putting it up? I guess they don’t believe in putting their money where their big mouths are. How come all of these people that are so upset about this are just as up set about Jessajerk saying that Oslama is to white?

“The only thing that I will agree with in this case is that the people involved should have been tried as juveniles. I still have doubts that this would have appeased anyone, especially the groups that use race to excuse criminal behavior. If Bell had been charged as a juvenile and received 3 years in a juvenile detention center the same people would have been chanting “What do we Want? Justice. When do we want it? Now!” in the streets because this poor kid received a punishment that a white kid did not get. I must remind the reader, once again, no kid of any color committed a crime this serious.”

You have no basis for your ‘prediction’ above and in fact, there appears to have been a white person who pulled a gun on 3 blacks prior to the Bell fight. The 3 blacks wrested the gun away from the white guy and ran off. The white guy, amazingly, wasn’t charged with anything and the 3 blacks were charged with ‘aggravated battery’ for taking his guy away.

Drawing a gun on someone is pretty serious so your statement above about no one committing a crime as serious as knocking someone unconscious at school (the kid was released from the hospital without any serious injuries the same day) is kind of wrong, isn’t it?

I’m including a couple of choice paragraphs from the article here:

“Finally, on Dec. 4, a group of black students at the high school allegedly jumped a white student on his way out of the gym, knocked him unconscious and kicked him after he hit the floor. The victim — allegedly targeted because he was a friend of the students who hung the nooses and had been taunting blacks — was not seriously injured and spent only a few hours in the hospital.

But the LaSalle Parish district attorney, Reed Walters, opted to charge six black students with attempted second-degree murder and other offenses, for which they could face a maximum of 100 years in prison if convicted. All six were expelled from school.

To the defendants, their families and civil rights groups that have examined the events, the attempted murder charges brought by a white prosecutor are excessive and part of a pattern of uneven justice in the town.

The critics note, for example, that the white youth who beat the black student at the party was charged only with simple battery, while the white man who pulled the shotgun at the convenience store wasn’t charged with any crime at all. But the three black youths in that incident were arrested and accused of aggravated battery and theft after they wrestled the weapon from the man — in self-defense, they said.”
