		<description>But during the four-hour hearing &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;boycotted by most Republican members of the House panel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Wha!? These are the racists getting a pass. Who&#039;s asking them why they couldn&#039;t be bothered even to show up and discuss an issue of racial justice? If you&#039;re on the judiciary committee, isn&#039;t that your damn job?</description>

		<description>the Noose Was A Hate Crime&quot;&lt;br/&gt;1 Comment - Show Original Post &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Anonymous said... &lt;br/&gt;Federal hate crime guidlines take age into consideration. As Washington pointed out, &quot;If these acts had been committed by others who were not juveniles, this would have been a federal hate crime, and we would have moved forward.&quot; Washington has also pointed out in earlier interviews that the noose-hanging incident was non-violent and that, if committed by adults, the charge would have been a misdeamenor.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Jena district attorney&#039;s office also considered age as a factor in charging the Jena Six. No charges are expected to be filed against the youngest member of the Jena Six. He gets a bye because of his age, the same as the three students who hung the nooses. Four of the Jena Six, unlike the three students who hung the nooses, were adults under Lousiana law at the time of the attack. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mychal Bell, who unlike the students who hung the nooses, has multiple convictions for battery that predate both the noose-hanging incident and the beating of the white student at Jena High School. His sentencing on the second count of battery and destruction of property was postponed when he became implicated in the beating of Justin Barker at Jena High School. Once his conviction as an adult in the Barker beating was overturned, he sentencing on the early conviction went forward. It has nothing to do with the Jena Six Beating. He will be retried for his alleged part in the beating of Barker in juvenile court.</description>

How did those people in Jena convince him not be bring charges against the white kids for the noose incedent?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Calling it a prank is a slap in the face of every African American.

Enough is enough!&lt;br/&gt;This farce has gone on long enough &amp; I&#039;m mad as hell that our justice system has taken this long to do nothing about the racist officials in Jena. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Get with the program Donald Washington!</description>
