Question

Why do the Jena 6 liberals think these people shouldn't have to pay for their crimes?

Answer 1

Nobody thinks they shouldn't have to pay for their crimes. They only think that they should pay a fair prices for those crimes. The kids beat up some guy and get nailed for attempted murder (By an all-white jury in rural Louisiana, mind you). Meanwhile, the kids that hung the nooses from the tree at the school weren't procescuted for hate crimes and were only expelled for three days.

Answer 2

Yes lets reward criminal activity. Maybe the 6 can run for Congress after their trial is over.

Answer 3

I do . . . I think the 22 year sentence was harsh . . . I think most people were expecting something along the lines of 2 years . . .

Answer 4

No one says they shouldn't have to pay for their crimes, it's just that racism died 100 years ago and apparently this small town, Jena, didn't get the message.  As a conservative, I can tell you that painting this as a liberal issue is a mistake; it is apparent that racism and double standards were taking place here.  I have no problem with these 6 being found guilty of assault, but anyone that can walk away and attend a school function that night is not the victim of attempted murder!

Answer 5

Because their ancestors paid off all their crimes when they were slaves.  Or at least that seems to be the reasoning.

Answer 6

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson believe that black people can do no wrong.  They are political figures and they happen to be extreme liberals.  I guarantee this, if it were white on white or black on black, they wouldn't be leading this march.

Answer 7

They've paid almost a year for the crime... How long do you expect them to pay???  Oh... You want them hung on the nooses that the White kids hung from the "White Tree"!!!  Now when will the White kids pay for their hate crimes???

Answer 8

Because race baitors like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharton only see one color, black... they victimize every human being whose skin happens to be that color.  Never mind all the accurate crime stats and other demographic information that's available, according to these two beacons of truth (said sarcastically) black folks will always be the victims.

Answer 9

h**l I'm a Conservative and I think those kids are getting screwed, attempted murder charged for whupping some racist punks butt give me a break.  Should they be charged, absolutely. Charge them with assault. If the rolls were reversed you know 6 white kids wouldn't be charged with attempted murder in Louisana.
