Most weren’t able to leave the hospital & go to a social function the same day. So what the h ell!?!? All They received were suspensions. And the kids usually had scars, teeth knocked out, broken bones etc.

    Because violence in schools are becoming more well known, especially after the Columbine shooting case. I’m not saying it was any different back then, it’s just most people weren’t aware of it like it is today. A lot of what would stereotypically happen in inner city schools and poor towns now happens in even private schools.

    When I began high school, there were fights of all kinds and mostly the kids just got suspended. When I finished (2005), if you got into a fight you were arrested and charged with assault. I think it should depend on the degree of the fight although serious action should always be taken of what punishment should be.

    Well laws have changed and life just isn’t fair…Especially if you are disadvantaged, black, and poor…If you are looking at 22 years boy are you bad or what??? What happened?

    Since they are gangs chances are that they threaten the person they beaten up if he/she was to testify which is why they were not punished with 22 years

    Race, even if some of those kids were white. I assume you are referring to the Jena Six. When you have the District Attorney to come in and speak to the students during an assembly and threaten to “end their lives with a stroke of a pen” because the black students were protesting; yeah it’s race. Honestly, why should the schools care? Let them kill themselves off, because the powers that be aren’t losing anything, just those kids and the community they come from. I’m not condoning this, but this seems to be pretty much what they are saying.
