I don't think it's racist at all. If this were any other incident involving a 6 on 1 attack, the perpetrators would be facing battery, assault, and attempted murder charges unquestioned by the public. However, because of the incidents leading up to the attack, it is now grounds for a racial card to be pulled. Brutality and physical force are nothing new to this nation and whether or not race is involved, a 6 on 1 battle occurs daily around the US. What makes this different? There were 6 boys beating the living crap out of 1 kid. If it were me, I'd call for manslaughter. There are no circumstances where a 6 on 1 assualt is justified by any means, racial or not. To do so means you are out to brutally hurt someone. With that, I don't find it at all unfair.
Better yet, would you feel the same way if the fight were a result of 6 white kids beating on another white kid? (or substitute any other ethnicity/race for that matter)
well i took some time to read into it, and it looks like this is one big giant mess with different parties getting involved who have different agendas.
annie, i agree that assault is assault, but a fight is just a fight too. handing out 100 year sentences because some kids got into a brawl isn't just extreme -- it's insane. and the judge who presided over this is unreasonable and irrational, and if you would call for attempted manslaughter and approve of the 100 year sentences, you're irrational too and i hope you never preside over any domestic legal cases.
moreover many of the facts are still being disputed so how is anyone supposed to come to any real understanding of what took place if stories are conflicting and facts are not known. guess we'll have to see what happens.

Okay, I give it that the "up to 22 years" sentence is drastic, but he was charged as an adult on assualt and battery charges. Attempted murder was taken off the table. And I think trying him as an adult is justified just as well! The kid was 17 on probation already, what the hell was he thinking? I think the kid deserves jail time, is all I'm saying. Maybe not 100 years, maybe not even 20, but he still needs to be punished for it nonetheless.
The problem I have is that these 6 are used as a symbolic racial issue when it's not.
How are they not a symbol? They didnt beat up the kid out of the blue. The whole situation was instigated when black kids sat in an area where it used to be an implied "whites only" area, and in response the white kids put up nooses on the tree, anyone would know full well the meaning of that symbolism. You cant get any more symbolic.

Who are you referring to? The black kids or Teri? I think in either case it IS their country, not someone else's. The implication that one needs to placate the white man's sense of justice in this seems to be a further humilation and totally ignores the lead up to this.

What YOU don't get is that this will set a precedent for future cases where there is a group brutality against another person of a different racial/ethnic background.
The problem is ya these black kids crossed the line into violence, and sure they deserve some punishment, but to put them in jail for as long as the crimes they were charged with isnt justice either. As far as precedence, the main message would be that racists whites should think twice about humiliating minorities for sport and think its a joke. What the white kids did at that school is so typical, they push and humiliate their target until they crack and react in a violent way then oh the target is now the bad guy. Sorry that is so played out...

That and how about how the media has it's own agenda as well? Nobody ever stated that the fight ensued as a result of the problem last year. But you mention in the same story as a fight and all of a sudden, they call it a world war.
From what I gathered, the white kid had nothing to do with any of those incidents either. If it were because of the noose hangings, wouldn't they have jumped the 2 kids that were responsible instead of some random person?

yeah, and there was also the incident of one of the caucasian guys pulling a shotgun on the black guys, yet he was never charged with that.
all of this is really confusing and not really worth the thought we're putting into it at this point, but i get the feeling many lies have been told as well as sensationalized truths.
