Justice must be in done in Jena

Jena, Lousiana, is a tiny old-fashioned town. It seems like nothing has changed in the last forty years... and that includes race relations.

Six black students are about to go on trial for the alleged assault of a white student and face between 30 and 50 years in prison.

The shocking events that led to the trial and the effect that it has had on the people have Jena have echoed the civil rights struggles of the 60's.

It began when a black student asked the staff of the school if he could sit under a tree that was traditionally reserved for white students, another throwback the troubled era, and was told that he was free to sit anywhere, he decided to break tradition and relax under the tree.

The following day the students arrived at the school to find three nooses hanging from the same tree.

The incident split the community and heightened tension at the school. The majority of the white residents regarded it as a tasteless prank.

The black residents regarded the issue as far more serious. It was considered a symbolic and threatening gesture, a reminder of white domination in the region.

When the culprits had the expulsion from the school reversed and instead received three day suspensions it was just a matter of when a spark would light the powder keg.

Soon after that the alleged attack happened, six black students allegedly attacked a white student who suffered bruises and concussion but was seen later enjoying a night out.

The culprits, were brought in but instead of being charged with assault and battery were charged with attempted second degree murder and could face up to fifty years in prison.

The police were more even handed than the local newspaper who didn't even say the attack was an alleged attack thus declaring the boys guilty in an attack it called 'the worst in school history'.

There is no doubt that violence in many cases is wrong but under such provocation it is surely unfair to punish a school fight with 50 years in prison.

Justice must be done and the rule of law must be applied otherwise American race relations could suffer a blow from which it may never recover.

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]discount mbt shoes[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes review[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt sneakers[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt sneakers[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]MBT shoes[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt sandals[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt shoes review[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]MBT shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt sandals[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]MBT shoes[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]mbt sandals[/U] on your lower joints.


Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]footwear etc[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]MBT shoes[/U] them.
