He is not a man who wants fair justice, he wants a modern day lynching. In the 21st century we can not let people who are prejudice and racist imprisoned are children one more day. This man needs to be removed from his position as soon as possible. A lot of the white people in Jena are trying to make it look like the outsiders are bringing trouble to this town, Which is totally ridiculus. When Jena is a town that the local barber shop refuses hair cuts for blacks. When you see this town, you have whites on one side and blacks on the other. I guess the white people would think everything is gravy their in Jena. I feel sorry for people who are that ignorant in this day in age to let color rule everything they do. Remove the District Attorney he is toxic and poison. You can not let people like this be in a position who is not going to have justice for all.

WHY ARE THEY AFRAID? Maybe it's because there are a lot of people coming to town who think that hanging a noose from a tree is the moral and legal equivalent of beating somebody up. I know I'd be afraid of such people. WHY? WHY ARE THEY AFRAID?

Maybe it’s because there are a lot of people coming to town who think that hanging a noose from a tree is the moral and legal equivalent of beating somebody up. I know I’d be afraid of such people.

While I'm glad the story is getting coverage in the MSM, they're not even mentioning the back-story! The "white tree," the nooses, the white on black violence that preceeded the beating! They're not telling the whole story at all. DAS, I caught some of the CNN coverage while waiting around at Jiffy Lube this morning.

Perhaps this was in the beginning which I missed, but they were acting as if the only outrage was the "disproportionate charges" on the African-American kids. Truly the disproportionality of the charges relative to what those kids did is outrageous enough, but what of the events leading up to the fight which led to the charges?
