-The obvious double standard between this, Duke, the Knoxville killings, etc.
-The obvious double standard between people claiming that laws must be administered fairly, yet this white kid deserved what he got and the young men who brutally beat him shouldn't be punished (based on what you said, this wouldn't apply to you, Daemon).

nobody deserves an @sswhupping...well actually some do...but that is another thread.....heh
BUT...the point is...as they say...the punishment must fit the crime and I think what a lot of people are angry about is that one wrong caused another wrong and so forth and everyone is not getting punished for all the wrong doings going on and the ones that are are being punished far too harshly.
I mean...look at it...there is like a whole bunch of things that happened and kept on happening because obviously, there is a problem and Jena is showing us something that a lot of us in the world (and from what I said earlier this is true) know about the US....that justice peeks under that blindfold from time to time and deals out punishments unfairly.
