Hey.. my prom date had a stomach bug (wasn't the greatest of nights). Yes, kids place a high value on these events and will go even when their health doesn't allow. The ring ceremony is hardly a "party." He had to leave early due to the pain. Further, due to swelling, he was blind in one eye for three weeks.

-- now who is only hearing what they want to hear?

And you didn't know about the party? Tsk tsk...you can't possibly know about this incident and not know one of the most important aspects of this was the seveve beating he got at the party.

You're going to have to start using names. By "he" in this case, I'm assuming you're referring to Mr. Bailey? The kid which tried (along with some friends) to force his way into a private party he hadn't been invited to and was not welcome at? Yeah... what a victim.

Like I said, in my state and others, he probably could have been lawfully shot for that stunt. Property owners are generally allowed to use force to remove trespassers.

Strangely, again, the media is silent as to whether he came and refused to leave, came and threatened violence, etc. I think it's safe to assume that he (and his friends who are for some reason never mentioned) weren't exactly Christmas Caroling.

Tyring to sentence a boy to 80 years and the closest thing he had to a weapon was a SHOE and you expect people to say "it's justice"?

That may be the max. I doubt seriously that if there's a conviction anyone will get the maximum penalty. It's possible though. The sort of beating they gave this kid could have killed him.

I guess no one decided to charge the young man who pulled out a shotgun on some others from Jena with possesions of a firearm or attempted murder...and please tell me you didn't hear that.

Did they fire the shotgun? Nope. Were they stupid for pulling it out? Perhaps. For all we know, the person in that case may have felt it necessary to have that weapon for self-defense.

I don't see anything criminal about what he did though. It's still legal to own firearms in this country.

And as for the comment about "attacking with shoes..." These were shoes attached to feet attached to the legs which were attached to six cowardly attackers. You're an intelligent person, use some common sense.

My grandfather was beaten to death in a similar manner -- no guns, knives or anything in a bar fight in Eastern Oklahoma -- probably over an oil deal gone bad. At any rate, hands and feet can be as deadly as guns -- especially when you're kicking an unconscious person in the head.
