Young Man, you said that this town was (OK) until this happened. How in the hell was it ever okay when there is a white tree at the school? Did you ever challenge the white tree? One of the kids thought he had to get permission from the principle to even sit under the damn tree. How is that Ok? The general spirit of this place needs to be put on Front Street along with the rest of the racism in America. This mess does not stop or start at the city limits of Jena LA. Let's just see if the Feds will step in and fix this mess. I bet you that there are no Middle Eastern people in this town. GRAND WISORD District Attorney Reed Walters and his KKK STREET GANG need to be held accountable for there actions. Or I should say lack there of. Maybe we can just ask him if the Klan has filed there petition to parade during the rest of this circus that they are calling trials. Does this man represent the spirit of Jena? If not then Jena needs to Unite as One People black and white show the rest of this country just who you are. These are your children. Yes there should have been discipline administered by the school starting with the tree but ignorance should have never been allowed to speak at and assembly.

AMERICA PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS BLATANT INJUSTICE TO GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT. IF YOU STAY SILENT ABOUT THIS THEN YOU DARE NOT SPEAK ABOUT INJUSTICE ANY WHERE ELSE ON THIS EARTH. IF YOU CAN NOT CRY LOUD IN YOUR OWN LAND THEN DIE IN SILENCE.

Our children are our tomorrow we have seen the injustices of yesteryear and that dragon continues to raise its ugly head. As a UNITED PEOPLE we must take the sword of justice and put it to throat of hatred whenever it rises up. My heart weeps for my people not just my BLACK people as we continue to suffer under the heel of oppression but for our people; the people of the United States of America. We once stood for something now we are hated by the world. Have you ever once asked yourself why? Could it be that we have become the biggest hypocrites on earth? Outraged at the audacity of a millionaire football player to dare purchase and pit (pit-bull) dogs in a ring for sport yet remain silent about our children being put in the same type of pit. America what is wrong with this picture?

Can you file a discipliary complaint against the District Attorney Walter Reed and the judge who s presiding over the case? All states in the union has Board of Professional Responsibility, which average citizens can file a complaint.

Has Mr. Walters never heard of Mike Nifong? His vindictive persecution of these young men is a travesty. The Federal Government needs to step in on these young men's behalf. Mr. Walters has perpetrated a "Hate Crime" against these young men. I am white and I hang my head in shame!

As a parent, whom grew up in 1950s-60s Philadelphia under the regime of racist police chief Frank Rizzo, Jena proves that racism is alive and thriving in Jena. This is pathetic and cowardly. Racists are cowards and they have this sick need to prove superiority to others based on sheer ignorance. It is disgusting that that this sort of behavior is being tolerated in 2007. When those nooses were hung, this action was clearly indicative of a hate crime. What I would like to know is why the federal authorities were not called in to launch a full scale investigation? We as a black people cannot continue to permit this injust-us. How in the hell in 2007, can there be a White-only tree in any city in America? This is the time for the Black community to unite and stop this ignorance, hatred, bigotry and racism. I cannot believe that your elected officials have not stepped in to stop this miscarriage of justice. That jackass of a DA needs to be fired immediately. He has proven he has no intention of giving these six young black men a fair trial by his words and actions. These young men should not be fighting for their lives in a court of law. All of us in the Black community have to contact our congressmen and women, also include the Justice Department. If this farce of justice is allowed to continue, it will give racists the ammunition it needs to rear its' ugly head. As a member of the Black community, I must say this is outrageous, however, this is not an isolated incident. These incidents are happening in cities and towns throughout the United States. As the mother of two young men, I am urging every Black parent to organize, unite and fight for these Black students. As adults, it is our responsibility to to care for and protect our children. We also must educate them to recognize this ignorance when they are confronted with it. Please inform us in Columbus, Ohio what we can do to support you and your children in your efforts to stop these racists from attacking our children.

Ya'll are pathetic! I live here and I am black with a white girlfriend. Racism is not a problem here. Please go somewhere else with your not knowing the other side of the story thoughts and stay the HELL away from Jena. The federal government sent a black guy here to investigate and he declared that this was no hate crime. I would say read the papers and look for it but wait they didn't talk about it because his evidence would ruin the great rally.

get a life
