6 vs 1 is not misdemeanor simple battery.
Of course, I don't know that its attempted murder either... But whatever.
Jena 6 case wrapped up with plea bargain
JENA, La. – Five members of the Jena Six have pleaded no contest to misdemeanor simple battery and were sentenced to seven days probation and fined $500 plus court costs.
It was a far less severe end to their cases than seemed possible when the six students were initially charged with attempted murder in a 2006 attack on Justin Barker. They became known as the "Jena Six," after the central Louisiana town where the beating happened.
Later, charges against Carwin Jones, Jesse Ray Beard, Robert Bailey Jr., Bryant Purvis and Theo Shaw were reduced to aggravated second-degree battery. The only member of the group to serve jail time was Mychal Bell, who pleaded guilty to second-degree battery and was sentenced to 18 months.
A civil hearing is also scheduled today to settle Barker's lawsuit against the group.

I agree it doesn't cons ute attempted murder, but misdemeanor... That's a ing joke. They acted like animals and should be caged like animals.
If it was 6 white dudes and 1 black guy the outcome would have been different.
No . Black activists would have never shut up until they were all convicted of first degree assault or better.
That whole situation was messed up. Nooses? Reacting with extreme violence?? Civil unrest? Horrible
Mitigating cir stances. Don't act like that white boy was totally innocent.
If I was black and had to go through the same racist as those guys then I'd have done the same thing.
But I guess it's not that surprising you'd defend stuff like that.
Republicans hating on black people as usual.
The news is all wrong about the noose bit anyway. They were lariats, and school property, with the school colors.
Did you read any of the original thread and links when this came out some time ago?
You don't know what the you're talking about. The main perpetrator's mother was a civil rights leader. It's pretty obvious she filled her son full of hatred. He was the racist. Not the white kids.
The Jena Six
And the white kids were just filled with happiness and love when they tied the noose to the white tree?
Quit acting like there were victims here. Both sides were wrong for what they did.
Why can't you let the black people get their justice for once?
They were packaged like garbage when being brought over here then raped, abused, and lynched for 400 some odd years after.
Somewhere Emmet Till's soul lies in unrest as those responsible weren't even convicted.
Have you done any comprehensive reading on this? I'll tell you what. Let's assume the Lasso's were meant an nooses. Let's assume the white kids were racists. What right does that give for an unprovoked attack in a school hallway, where after the first hit, the kid goes down and is unconscious, and is repeatedly beaten while unconscious.
They were ing animals, and should be caged like animals. How can anyone defend such , unless you yourself are a brutal person who likes assaulting people?
Guess what Sook.
Those who live in the past, have no viable future.
Get over it.
Those who don't learn from their past are bound to repeat it.
three of six posts by WC compare the black youths to animals--we get it WC you hate black people.
@ lassos. Hanging lassos from a tree. Priceless.
They should go to jail. That's not an issue. The issue is that mitigating cir stances should be taken into account and assuage the decision.
Those white boys shouldn't have been hanging "lassos" and calling black people n-words and expect that tensions wouldn't build like they did.
On the flip side the blacks shouldn't have reacted as brutally as they did. Some of them had priors so I guess it's not unexpected.
But your assertion that the blacks were the racists here and the whites were 100% the victims shows how ignorant you are.
More conservative "black / white" thinking. This situation was pretty close to 50 / 50.
If someone hangs a noose that is as ing disrespectful as it gets. They should have beat them up more, if someone does something as ignorant as that and doesn't realize that that was one of the darkest chapters of our nation's history, by all means, beat the ever loving out of them.

wtf? ok we get it... you know how to post pictures.
You're just as wrong as Wild Cobra.
You are one that belongs in jail then.
Such thoughts mean you are a pathetic loser if you let other people's symbolism provoke you like that..
Did you know that the day before, they had a lasso around a toy of a mustang, after a football meet win. The opposing teams mascot was a mustang.
Why do people jump to such conclusions. To assume it's noose is as idiotic as the police officer who said he saw a gun and killed a man when the victim was holding a cell phone.
Just a pathetic excuse, to justify hatred. That's for losers.
You need to go back and read that thread I linked, and remember that there are two sides to a story.
