Friday, October 19: Matt Drudge is headlining this old news. We were on top of it two days ago.

…kidding me. Madness. And the “Jena Six” crap continues…

Putrid.

Later…NRO on the “Jena Six” House Judiciary Committee hearing:

“The case of the Jena 6 buttresses this painful reality. Several aspects of the story remain in dispute, but at the center of the controversy lie half a dozen black high-school students who are being prosecuted for assaulting a white student ten months ago. The initial charge of attempted murder perhaps overdid it: The beaten student, Justin Barker, spent only a couple of hours in the hospital and attended a school function later in the day. Yet there can be no doubt that a violent crime was committed and that Mychal Bell, a black student with a rap sheet, was a ringleader.

“Rather than take a hard look at these distressing facts, the NAACP has chosen to massage them. Its website would have people believe that the story of the Jena 6 revolves around ‘a white student who…got into a fight with black students.’ That’s true, if being outnumbered and ambushed, knocked unconscious from a blow to the head, and repeatedly kicked while lying immobile constitutes ‘getting into a fight.’ It appears as though Barker did nothing to provoke the attack from Bell and his hooligans, except to have been wearing the wrong skin color at the wrong time.”

Update (10/17): Why aren’t the race hustlers and black parents in the streets marching against hispanic-on-black gang violence or black-on-black violence? There’s no “white guilt” or money in it. That’s why any hint of white-on-black violence, or even the slightest insult, is blown out of proportion. (See Duke Rape Case)

It’s not the actual crime or insult that matters; it’s what blacks like Sharpton, Jackson, and others can gain from it: media coverage, shakedowns, etc. There’s no press or shakedown potential in hispanics killing blacks or in blacks killing each other. It’s boring, not to mention unprofitable.

Later…More in the “You’ve Got to Be Kidding” department. A reader sent this link. Two members of the “Jena Six” gang, who beat a kid unconscious, presented an award and hung out with celebs at the recent Black Entertainment Television Awards. And they say crime doesn’t pay. Wrong, again!
