"Jena Six" Member In School Arrest
2008-02-08 03:55:00 One of the "Jena Six" defendants was arrested yesterday for allegedly assaulting a fellow student at a Texas high school. Bryant Purvis, 19, was busted on the misdemeanor charge following an 8:30 AM altercation at Hebron High School in Carrollton, where his family relocated from Louisiana. According to the below arrest warrant affidavit, Purvis assaulted a male student he apparently suspected of vandalizing his auto.

Jena Six mostly lies, according to Jena Times editor
2007-10-30 06:53:00 I had a "wait and see" attitude towards the "Jena six" incident, but this article in the Christian Science Monitor, if true, debunks the whole media narrative not to mention that of the black race hustlers. This isn't a left-right issue, as I see it. It has to do with media hysteria and the willingness of people to take political advantage of it (in this case, it was Democrats Clinton and Edwards). If Craig Franklin is correct, the whole thing was pathetic. Jena, La. - By now, almost everyone in America has heard of Jena, La., because they've all heard the story of the "Jena 6." White students hanging nooses barely punished, a schoolyard fight, excessive punishment for the six black attackers, racist local officials, public outrage and protests – the outside media made sure everyone knew the basics. There's just one problem: The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and...

Jena Six Update for October 11
2007-10-11 11:57:00 Our understanding of the Jena 6 story continues to evolve. The best sources for my particular analysis of the case have been students and one adult inside Jena. In particular, a law student in Jena seems to have his finger on the best analysis yet. The following analysis will rely heavily on his thinking.Sometimes I use an impressionistic analysis to try to get into the minds of some of the main protagonists in the case. In those cases, all of the usual cautions apply. What follows is a general timeline of some of the Jena 6 eventsIt is difficult to say what role race played in the Jena 6 series of incidents. The La Salle Parish Sheriff's Department do use the term "racial tensions"to describe the events of December 1-3, 2006 - the fights at Gotta Go and the Fair Barn and the Barker attack. This is the first time in the Jena 6 events law enforcement officials used that term.Some Jena residents feel that there are little or no racial motives anywhere in this case, on the part of ei...

The hard to find Russian neo-Nazi beheading video taking the net by storm is on this blog here.Mychal Bell and eye sockets do not to get along well.To demonstrate: Justin Barker was beaten so badly by Mychal Bell and his friends that Barker is rumored to have lost his vision for three weeks after the attack. He is also rumored to continue to suffer 30% vision loss in one eye.In several accounts of the event, Mychal Bell through the first blindside punch, and after that, Barker was unconscious. Mychal Bell is likely to have played some role in Barker's continuing vision loss. Mychal Bell may have caused permanent eye damage to two individuals, and he is not even yet 18.Latest Jena Six rumors:In other Jena Six rumors, we are much more confident about a previous rumor that Mychal Bell beat his girlfriend so badly that her eye became dislocated from its socket.

Jena Six News For October 1
2007-10-01 10:29:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The hard to find Russian neo-Nazi beheading video taking the net by storm is on this blog here.Here is the latest Jena Six news and rumors.Today's Jena Six News:Jena Six supporters are trying to obfuscate the issue of which, if any, of the Jena Six attacked Barker. But as I noted before, this is the purpose of the Young Black Male Swarm Attack - you can't figure who, if anyone, did what, if anything, to the victim. Nevertheless, looking at the witness statements in their totality, it appears that five of the Jena Six are definitely guilty of assaulting Barker.A better timeline of the fight is now available. The Jena Six had been harassing and trying to start a fight with another White boy referred to as "TK". The Black boy who originally asked if Blacks could sit under the White tree intervened and saved TK from a beating by the Jena Six. Next Justin Barker walks by, sees the Jena Six, gives the...

Donors Want Fraud Investigation of Jena Six Parents
2007-10-01 10:21:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The hard to find Russian neo-Nazi beheading video taking the net by storm is on this blog here.After it was announced that the Jena Six were going to be tried on adult charges and faced 20 years in prison, the families requested donations for their legal defense. $400,000 quickly poured in. Turns out the lawyers agreed later to take the case pro bono.The parents blew the money on a brand new jaguar and BMW and the one of the Jena Six, Robert Bailey, Jr., posted pictures of himself on MySpace with $100 bills in his mouth. The page was quickly taken down, but not before the photos were captured and turned into videos. The video can be seen on this blog here.Now word has come out that some of those who donated money want an audit to be done on the money they sent to the defense fund. And some of them are also requesting that law enforcement open a fraud investigation into what happened to the money.S...

Reed Walters, White Racist Idiot
2007-09-30 05:14:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The hard to find Russian neo-Nazi beheading video taking the net by storm is on this blog here. Updated October 1:Please feel free to read my Jena Six post for a background to the entire incident.In a much-commented move, Jena High School called an assembly after Black students had held a vigil under the "White tree" on campus. The suggestion is that the assembly was called in response to the Black vigil. In the auditorium, Blacks sat on one side and Whites on the other, with no crossover. Walters came to the podium, flanked by Jena police officers, who are overwhelmingly White.So far, keep in mind, the sum total of Black behavior in Jena in this chronology had been:1. Asking if they could sit under the "White tree".2. Holding a vigil at Jena High under the "White tree" in response to the terrorist threats of the noose-hangings.Despite the fact that Black behavior so far had been totally innocuous...

Hurricane Katrina and the Jena Six
2007-09-28 11:10:00 As hard as it is to believe, Hurricane Katrina sowed the seeds for the Jena Six case. How?Like this:On August 28, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and southern Louisiana. Jena is in the north and was not hit hard by the storm. But in the months that followed the storm, thousands of refugees who had their homes destroyed flooded Louisiana, Texas and many other states in the US.200 of them came to Jena, Louisiana.And that is when all the trouble started.Previously, Jena was a small Southern town with the sort of juvenile problems, White and Black, that are typical of rural towns in this area. In other words, nothing out of the ordinary. There were little or no Black gang problems at the time.But the 200 Katrina refugees changed all of that. With them came a number of hardcore urban Black gangmembers from New Orleans. They influenced a number of the Black boys and young men in Jena, and turned some good Black males bad in a right hurry. Compared to before, crime and trouble expl...

Nazis Threaten to Lynch Jena Six
2007-09-27 09:09:00 Bill White, your friendly neighborhood Nazi, leader of the totally insignificant American National Socialist Workers Party, published the names, addresses and phone numbers of the Jena Six and their parents on his blog and urged people to lynch them.* Supposedly the KKK threatened to lynch the Jena Six too, but I can't find that video. Email me if you find it.Americablog claimed that David Duke also threatened to lynch the Jena Six. You can read Duke's post here,* but I could not see where he threatened to lynch them. Maybe it's in invisible ink.White's other page is here*, if you are interested in this sort of thing. Just the usual Nazi garbage, though he's definitely very smart and quite funny. He posts the Jena Six's private info again here.* He seems to be posting them over and over just to be an ass.There has also been a spate of disgusting White terrorist threats in the way of Whites hanging nooses from various objects to threaten Black people.In Clyde, Ohio, a noose was...

Never mind that these walking mold-heaps had been terrorizing the local Black community for months.Never mind that Bell threw a bicycle through a poor old innocent Black lady's window. Never mind that the local Black community had taken to always locking their cars and worrying every time they went to the store due to the depredations of these Black punks. Never mind that the local Jena Blacks are disgusted by these rich Black college kids charging into town cheering for the criminal worms that terrorized their lives.Never mind that three Jena Six Garbage savagely beat a poor innocent Black boy for no reason at all, then taunted him as he limped home.

HOOEY SURROUNDING THE JENA SIX
2007-09-25 02:38:00 THE BOTTOM LINE Racism is behind the making of a fictitious furor Jimmy Z - Upside down, inside out, distortion, outright lies, exaggeration, hysteria and hyperbole have all come together to bring folks to a nice light simmering, not a boil yet, over charging six black kids with the beating of a white kid in Jena. Did they do it? Are they guilty? Who cares, say liberals and black Americans - just free the Jena Six! So have you noticed the trend? There is a select group, ever-growing it appears, of black Americans who do not want any blacks convicted of and serving time for any crime ever. They protest as if no black American ever commits a crime. They rant over the number of blacks in prison because there are more black prisoners than white prisoners. Never mind that a far higher number of blacks per capita commit crimes than do whites. That is not important. Free the Jena Six! OJ Simpson can cut two people to ribbons. Free OJ! OJ Simpson can commit armed robbery!...

Media Face Off: OJ Takes on the Jena Six
2007-09-25 00:48:00 I watched television news this weekend. Typically I get my news online, or from a newspaper, but rarely from television. I think I forgot how limited and misleading TV news tends to be. I'm sure some experts have theories about why this is, but all I know is it is worse than print media. I was shocked to see no coverage at all of the Jena 6.So I thought I'd do a little experiment, to see whether the newsies think people are more interested in OJ Simpson, or in a new chapter in the ongoing struggle for African American civil rights.Google News (which is a highly balanced aggregator of diverse sources), offers me 15,599 results for OJ Simpson.How did the Jena 6 fare? Well, Google informs me there are 3,465 pieces. Apparently OJ's antics are just that much more interesting.This of course should lead any thinking person to question why one is considered newsworthy and the other is not.

Statement on the Jena Six Case
2007-09-24 23:00:00 A wrapup of the pertinent details in the case can be found on this blog here.My statement on the Jena Six case:There is a lot of bad behavior on both sides here.Bad White behavior:Many of the Whites in Jena, including police, the DA, school officials and the school board in Jena are apparently engaged in some disgusting and despicable old-time Southern White racism against Blacks.The whites who hung the noose and the white boy, Justin Barker, who got beat up, are white racist pricks. Barker fully deserved to get punched, but not to be beaten senseless.Bad Black behavior:The Jena Six are six no-good Black thugs who need to be removed from civilized society (secondary school) and placed in (or better yet, under the) juvey, jail or prison where they belong. The mothers of Mychal Bell and Robert Bailey Jr. have engaged in some questionable behaviors involving the money donated for the Jena Six "defense".The Jena Six deserve to be tried as juveniles, except the one who is an adult.

Robert Bailey (Jena Six) Rolling in $100 Bills
2007-09-24 13:34:00 This video shows photos of Robert Bailey, one of the Jena Six (see my previous post on the Jena Six giving background on the case), rolling around in $100 bills. He had the photos shot and then had them posted on MySpace. After the site got the negative publicity anyone with a brain knew it would have, the photos were taken off the site. Too late. They are on video forever now, Robert.The money has flooded in to the Jena Six as part of donations totalling perhaps up to $300,000 in order to support the defense of these little Black thugs. Too bad the attorneys have all decided to take the case for free.Instead of doing something intelligent with the money, like using it to post bail on the Jena Six animals, their parents, like so many Blacks of a particular mindset, are burning the money as fast as it hits their fingers.Two of the mothers of the Jena Six, Bailey and Mychal Bell, bought brand new luxury cars. Bailey's mom, Caseptla Bailey, is unemployed and single - where did the ca...

Greens address Jena Six
2007-09-23 22:58:00 In case you have not followed the story closely (and I have not), the Jena Six are six young black men in Jena, LA. They are accused of beating a classmate severely. Of course, there is more to the story.As I understand it, a school assembly was held at the school, and a student asked if he could sit under a particular tree on the campus. He was told that he could.Thereafter, several black students did sit under that tree, since cut down, and some other students hung nooses from it after school.Over the next few days words were exchanged between students of both skin tones, and at least one white student was accused of wrong doing. The consequences were apparently not much.This seems to me to be the critical issue. No one, no matter how offended by someone else's actions, is entitled to beat another. In this particular case, apparently, it was a six-on-one case, and while the student did receive what looks like a serious whupping, he will suffer no long term consequences. No...
Racism's cognitive toll

How do victims experience these more ambiguous racist messages" Are they less damaging than overt hostility" And what are the mental and emotional pathways by which these newer forms of discrimination actually cause personal harm"Psychologists have some theories about how the experience of racism plays out in the brain?and what that means today compared to before.All human beings are driven by a few core needs, including the need to understand the world around us.

On the Jena Six
2007-09-23 09:39:00 By now, most Americans have heard of the incident in Jena, Louisiana, involving six black boys who beat a white boy, Justin Barker, unconscious on school grounds. It has turned into a circus, with 60,000 protestors, mostly Black college students, descending on the town and an accompanying media feeding frenzy. There is much more to the story than that, but I am not going to go through all of it here.Instead, I will direct you to two pieces, one by Jared Taylor and another by Eddie Thompson, a white minister in Jena, that lay out the pertinent details of the case well. Of the two, Thompson's is better - see especially his superb recommendations at the end.Taylor's seems to omit certain information and to whitewash the behavior of the Whites. Thompson is not a racist at all, and Taylor definitely is (he is a White separatist). A companion piece by Thompson condemning both Black and White racism in Jena is a good companion piece to Thompson's other article.I have only a few comments...

Louisiana's "Jena Six"
2007-07-27 14:01:00 In a Press Release, the Green Party calls for an end to anti-black and anti-latino bias in the prison and judicial systems. The press release focuses on the case of the "Jena Six",, a group of black youth who were arrested after a fight broke out at their school. Apparently they took offense at three nooses hung in the school yard. Things escalated from there. Facing up to 100 years in prison, these six defendants are the only people being prosecuted, even though white youth were also involved in the fighting.
