NEWS: Racial Protests Overwhelm Small Louisiana Town

This problem is in the south. Stop being a half-wit.

Because, of course, that is a relevant, personal experience relative to Jena, LA. Thanks for playing but, really shut the fuck up if you have nothing to add.

Oh, I see. You don't have an intelligent response to my point, so you try to insult me. Why don't you take a few minutes, think about my point, and try to understand it. Once you understand my point, you will realize that his location is completely irrelevant to my point.

Ooooh, I am devastated by your witty repartee.

Well, it was pretty good.

It's been said several times before, but this is a fantastic article!

Actually, it's your point that's completely irrelevant on account of the location.

Nice try, though.

You seem to have missed my point which was to agree with Hethan dave about the way things work here in GA.Thank you for not reading what I wrote and just going off on an ill informed tangent.

When you start making sense, I'll start paying attention to you again.

Well, since you have no idea what you're talking about, I'm not surprised you also have difficulty comprehending others. Don't worry about paying attention to me. I won't hold my breath.

Just for the sake of form, however, I will attempt to enlighten you.

You freaked out over a guy in Texas criticizing Southern culture as endemically racist - a criticism provoked by the example of an incident in Lousiana.

You responded by going totally all off-topic about how racism is really everywhere and even "right next to" the guy in Texas. Your post had absolutely nothing to do with the incident under discussion, nor, apparently, do you have the remotest notion of who you were actually responding to or what his point was.

Now if you're still so dense as to think you actually have some kind of point to make, that's your problem. I wash my hands of the matter.

I'm so disgusted, I'm not sure what to say about this related story I saw this morning.

I caught that on CNN last night. They also had video of a couple of teenagers who were driving by groups leaving the protest the other day. On the back of their pickup the teens hung a couple of nooses. They were stopping in front of groups and trying to get a reaction. The police arrested them for trying to incite a riot. They were second generation klansmen.

I don't know if you'll read this at this point but I always enjoy your articles, Subrosa. I wish you were compelled to write more often.

Ok I just heard about this guy today on the radio and I have a question for all you lawyer types.

Is this even legal? I mean I can't imagine this would count as protected speach, seems to be a threat to me.

See I figured someone had probably posted but I only had so much time for lunch and forgot to check, Thanks.

The six kids should be in jail with attempted murder, end of sentence. 6 guys slam a kid's head into a wall then kick him while he's down for a while, then LEAVE him? You don't know how injured he is. He could have had a punctured lung or bleeding out. It's gotta be attempted murder. Skin color shouldn't matter, since 6 guys beating up one guy is on a whole other level than hanging some rope from a tree. Not to mention, the attack on Justin Barker was also a hate crime. But there's such a big racism double standard in this country people don't see black and white, they only see black.

Well, as I said, I don't know that those charges weren't warranted, however that version of the story both conflicts with the facts of the case that I've read and totally ignores every point that everyone's made about the inherent inequality of the treatment given to both groups. But other than that, good point.

Yes, that's all it was. Just a rope on a tree. Nothing else intended by that at all.

I know. It's like the white man can never catch a break in this country anymore. Why they gotta keep a honky down?

Abortion clinic protestors do it all the time, if i'm not mistaken. Not much can be done about it.

You don't understand, after they kicked the shit out of him, they LEFT him !

Whenever I kicked the shit out of someone in high school I always hung around and made sure they received proper medical attention.

It IS very important to be a responsible ass kicker and have a gentlemanly mercy for your opponent.
Unless they are a racist fuckwit. Then . . . discretion is more important.

Seriously, though. I think that the kid went to a school function that night says it all.
What was that function anyway ? A dance ? ( just curious, no bearing obviously)

It was a ring ceremony.

Also, you were high?? Sonofa...
