Having lived in Louisiana, it doesn't surprise me this type of legal lynching is taking place in Jena, Louisiana. Racisim runs deep in the parishes of this state, and the outside world is not aware that before Katrina, discrimination was a second language and the state created the model for developing a permanent underclass. Hell, I remember the time that Blacks didn't have running water and inside toliets deep in suburban parishes and only got it when the media was made aware of the continuous fight. Kudos to the students of Howard University who decided this type of injustice needs to stop. People don't take your eyes off of this story, because Jena wants you to forget this one! Viper
