All-white jury to hear racial fight (black attack) case in Louisiana

No hate crime charges? Charges reduced? Open season on Whites? This took place at a school? I'm glad I do not attend school this day and age. Blacks "only" 12% of the population? Studies have proven it's takes less that that to ruin a community. Some indicate a 5% black population and the area can be and sometimes is unlivable. Look at areas that have allowed the feds to construct just one HUD apartment complex, as soon as the complex was completed and filled-up with rapist, murderers, dope peddlers and armed robbers, the community was no longer safe. America: Continues her downhill slide, complete with a news media that minimizes the damages done.

JENA, La. (AP) - An all-white jury was seated Tuesday to hear the case against the first of the "Jena Six" - a group of black youths accused of beating a white fellow student amid racial discord at a central Louisiana high school.

Five women and a man will hear opening arguments Wednesday morning at the courthouse in LaSalle Parish, where the black population is only about 12 percent.

"I'm sure I can get a fair trial," Blane Williams, defense lawyer for 17-year-old Mychale Bell said. "You can't tell me there aren't six people in this town who won't listen fairly and do the right thing. I think people have a tendency to do the right thing."

The approaching trial had led to allegations of racism from parents of the accused, who said the original charges - attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder - were out of proportion to the crime. The charges carry a combined sentence of 80 years.

However, prosecutors on Monday reduced the charges for Bell, the first of the teens to go on trial. He is now charged with aggravated second-degree battery, which carries a sentence of up to 15 years, and conspiracy to commit aggravated second-degree battery, which carries a maximum sentence of 7½ years.

It is unclear when or whether prosecutors intend to change charges for the other defendants - four still facing attempted murder and conspiracy charges, and a juvenile whose name and charges have not been made public. LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters has refused to publicly discuss the case.

Aggravated second-degree battery involves use of a dangerous weapon, according to state statutes.

"Well, anything is better than murder and a lifetime in prison," said John Jenkins, whose son, Carwin Jones, is among the charged. "But it's still strange. All of a sudden they're talking about a weapon. What weapon? We never heard anything about a weapon before."

But attorneys on both sides, during questioning of jurors, indicated prosecutors will try to say that something not usually thought of as a weapon - such as a ring or an ink pen - could be considered a dangerous weapon during a fight.

The racial tension began in late August in Jena - a central Louisiana town of 2,900 with about 350 black residents - after a black student sat under a tree traditionally used as a gathering spot by white students. The next month, three nooses were hanging in the tree when students arrived on campus.

"You didn't see the district attorney rush out to school to do anything about those nooses in the tree," said Caseptla Bailey, whose son, Robert Bailey Jr., also was charged in the beating.

"You don't see white kids who beat up black kids charged with attempted murder. There's nothing fair going on here."

The school's principal recommended the students who hung the nooses be expelled, but they served brief suspensions instead. On Dec. 4, Justin Barker, who is white, was attacked at school by a small group of black students. He was treated at a hospital.

"I saw him that night at school for the ring ceremony," Jenkins said. "I could tell he had been beat up, his face was bruised, but he was out and about, so he couldn't have been too bad."

David Barker, Justin's father, declined comment Tuesday during a break in the trial.

"There are two sides to every story. There are two sides to this one. But I just don't want to talk about our side now," he said.

Theodore Shaw also had been scheduled to go to trial this week, but his case was delayed. Trial dates for the others - Bryant Purvis, Bailey, Jones and the unidentified juvenile - have not been set.

Shaw and Bell have been held since their arrests, unable to post $90,000 bond.

An un-American story: Hate crimes and special victims

An un-American story: Hate crimes and special victims

It is human nature to resent groups and individuals deemed more special than others.

The fallacy of hate-crime laws -- the prosecution of which requires a degree of mind-reading not yet available to most Earthlings -- has been cast into stark relief the past few weeks following an interracial rape-murder that has bestirred white supremacists and led to death threats against an African-American columnist.

The spark that caused the firestorm was the brutal rape-murder of a young white couple, Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, who were carjacked last January in Knoxville, Tenn. Five blacks -- four men and a woman -- have been charged in connection with the slayings.

Because the story didn't receive national media attention, some commentators and others have asserted that the media do not treat racial crimes equally. They point out that when a black stripper charged three white members of the Duke University lacrosse team with rape, the national media grabbed the story by the ankle and wouldn't let go. Not so Knoxville.

The perception of media bias is understandable -- and a credible case can be made that the media rushed to condemn the Duke athletes because it fit a recognizable racial narrative, especially in the South. But while race was clearly a factor in stimulating media interest, other factors absent from the Knoxville case -- privilege, town and gown conflicts, politics, underage drinking and the name Duke -- also added to the broader "story" appeal.

Nevertheless, the media's largely unskeptical embrace of the charges in the absence of due process, coincident with the horrible events in Knoxville, have stoked passions among some whites who contend that black-on-white crime is underreported.

Adding to the current heat is the decision that the Knoxville blacks won't be charged for hate crimes. Officials say that because the accused have had white friends, they weren't driven by racial hatred.

That seems a flimsy argument, but it does serve to underscore the potential errancy and misapplication of laws that rely on the subjective judgment of others' psychological motives. As the mother of one of the victims said: "If this wasn't a hate crime, then I don't know how you would define a hate crime."

Hate crimes are not defined only by motive, but by their effect on other members of the same group. The argument for hate-crime laws is that crimes motivated by animus toward an individual because of race, sex, gender identity or disability victimize all members of that group by causing fear and intimidation.

Adding still more fuel to the media- bias claim is a group of white supremacists on one side and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts on the other. Pitts drew fire when he pointed out that the Knoxville incident wasn't considered a hate crime and refuted claims that black crime is underreported. He ended his column with four words for whites who feel oppressed: "Cry me a river."

That's pure columnist flare, but decidedly, um, gutsy considering the likely reaction from people who are not widely known for tolerance. A neo-Nazi group has posted Pitts' address, phone number and his wife's name on its Web site, Overthrow.com. Pitts has received hundreds of e-mails and phone calls, including several death threats that are being investigated by the FBI.

Obviously, Overthrow's editor and the 280 contributors to his American National Socialist Workers Party are the definition of a fringe group that doesn't deserve so much attention. But the same also might be said about those who commit "hate crimes."

In 2005, among about 7,000 hate crimes -- mostly characterized by intimidation (48.9 percent) and simple assault (30.2 percent) -- just six murders and three forcible rapes were reported as fitting the hate-crime definition, according to the FBI's Hate Crime Statistics report. Though we may hate "hate crimes," those numbers hardly seem sufficient to justify extra laws designating a special category for certain crime victims.

Groups such as the Anti-Defamation League have insisted that hate-crime laws are necessary because crimes that make minority communities fearful "damage the fabric of our society and fragment communities."

The Duke and Knoxville cases cast serious doubts on that premise. It is human nature to resent groups and individuals deemed more special than others.

Signaling through laws (or media treatment) that one group's suffering is more grievous than another's -- or that one person's murder is worse than another's -- is also likely to fragment communities, as well as to engender the very animosities such laws are meant to deter.

Two Africa-American men go down for rape, one victim White, the other just 11 y/o. Plus, the ACLU gives away cameras to keep an eye on the police.

A 72 year old man, home alone when a knock on his door echoes through the dwelling. He answers, "who dat be," and when he peers through the door, what did his bulging eyes behold? An 11 year old neighbor girl asking for his help. I must repeat, an ELEVEN year old girl asking for HELP. But, he must have been hard of hearing as he evidently misunderstood. She requested help for herself but, he helped himself to her.

A young damsel in distress comes a calling at the home of a convicted sex offender. The case of sugar daddy Oscar Murphy, an African American man who's not so sweet.

Man Convicted Of Raping Girl Who'd Been Locked Out Of Home

In February of 2005, an 11-year-old girl was accidentally locked out of her home. She knocked on a neighbor's door for help. The man who answered, Oscar Murphy, invited the girl in. The girl may not have known that she was knocking on the door of a convicted sex offender.

8 years earlier, Murphy, now 72 years old, pleaded guilty to two statutory rape charges. He was placed on probation.

After the 11-year-old girl accepted Murphy's invitation to come in, he attacked her and raped her.

It was the second trial in the case for Murphy, who lived on Marcus in St. Louis. The first trial ended with a hung jury. Prosecutors brought the charges again, and, this time, Murphy was convicted.

Prosecutors say Murphy could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.

==================

Note: I know for a fact the victim below is White, I saw her image on a TV news report. That being said, it is my policy to not categorize a victim as “White” unless I can provide an image. In this case, I can not.

In this case, an African American man violently pulls a (White) St. Louis (Missouri) female jogger from a jogging path. He grabs her by the neck twisting and choking until she blackens out. As she lay on the bare ground injured and unconscious, he maneuvers her in position, pulls down her jogging tights and rapes her. When he was done, he simply walks away. No concern for his victim, no shame for what he has done. He was satisfied, he was pleased, he was happy and content, and that's all that mattered to this selfish roving African American.

Directly due west of the late great city of St. Louis, sets acres and acres of land with rolling hills, wooded areas as well as cleared areas filled with large shade trees and thick green grass. This is where the viscous sex attack and merciless assault took place. In 1876 a magnificent park was carved out of over 1300 acres of this land. Later the area was developed even more, into bicycle paths, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, fishing lakes and ponds. Some of the lakes and ponds had small peddle and row boats where by day families could float in the sunshine enjoying togetherness. By night young lovers could take a slow moon lighted romantic float while crossing under the many bridges that the waterways passed through. During the winter, with the rolling hillsides this area made for the optimum snow sledding experience. And of course when the lakes and ponds froze over they made for the perfect ice skating rinks. Many hundreds and even thousands of people would come from miles around to spent time in this area. Just as they've done for many decades. There was always some type of attraction or event that lead the people to these lands of rolling hills. Carnivals, parades, band concerts, family reunions or just to take in the scenic beauty.

Also developed in the area was the St. Louis Zoo, famed art museums, an historical society, a opera house, a conservatory, an amphitheater, indoor gardens/lily ponds, a science center, as well as many other attractions. All within walking distance of one another. There was also a mounted Canadian style patrol station on grounds. Men in bright red uniforms who strolled the park area on horseback, stopping for any child who desired to pet his horse or just get a close-up of the beautiful animal. The site was also home to the “Louisiana Purchase Exposition” or “The St. Louis World’s Fair” in 1904. Some of the structures built especially for that fair are still yet standing.

This vast area was known as "Forest Park," it was proudly nick-named by the locals as the "Crown Jewel of St. Louis," because that's exactly what it was. No telling how many lovers met and later married and raised families because of this pristine area. No telling the number of friendships and lasting relationships that were formed because of this area. It was conductive to family, love, friendship, and togetherness. It was fun, exciting, adventuresome and an area just to kick back and relax under a shade tree. Old and young alike, male, female, everyone had a good and memorable time. Back then everyone was safe, free from vulgarity, free from crudeness and rudeness, but most importantly, everyone was safe from vicious interracial crime. Free from being viciously choked down to the ground, choked within milliseconds of death and then savaged by a person completely unlike themselves. Yes, something had transpired, something went wrong, and for the worse. The "crown jewel" has lost it shine. It's not only lost it‘s shine, it has been broken, shattered to pieces, and has crumbled at the feet of those who made it what it was.

Today, this area is kept on life support only through the many bogus promotions, schemes, scams and misrepresentations aimed at it. The city's elite, in a desperate attempt to raise the dying cities tax base while working in concert with greedy, unethical real estate managers, rehabbers and developers, have falsely manufactured the impression that this particular crime-infested area is making a “come-back,“ that it is safe. Yes, a sick and dying area is being "revitalized" and now it’s the “in” place to live, like as if one is connected to the other. But that’s exactly what they are promoting. They also claim it will be just like it use to be, just like it was back in 1876, 1904 or even 1976, only with a different type of people. They’ve reached out to the women, oh come look, look at all the many turn of the century ornate homes, what charm, elegance and beauty they possess, come on down, take a look, fall in love, oohhh, so pretty. They built-up the close proximity to the city's heart in which these buildings are located to the men, it's just a short distance from downtown, you'll be there in minutes. Oh, come back to the city, there’s nothing like “City Life,” enjoy the experience, ohhh how grand. But what they won’t reveal in the Victorian dwellings, the grand entrance ways, the spiraling staircases, the shiny decorative mirrors that hang above the antiquated mantles and the quick drive to work is, none of this does a safe area make. They refuse to revel in the many crimes committed in the area, the rapes on the bike paths, the assaults at the ponds, the raunchy and crude behavior in the picnic areas, the robberies on opera house grounds, the utter disrespect, contempt and “gangsta” attitudes and nasty displays shown while viewing the animals at the zoo. They refuse to mention the many carjackings, the burglaries or the home invasions that occur in and around these ornate turn of the century structures on a regular basis. They refuse to acknowledge that the people are what makes a city great, the people are what makes a city beautiful, the people are what determines if an area is safe or unsafe. They also forget to mention in their sham money motivated promotions of what caused the area to decay to such a degree that it needed “rehabbed” and “revitalized“ in the first place. Plus, the most important item escaped them completely, the people who made the city what it was, the people who made the city a great place to live, the people who was the “Crown” in the “Jewel” and made it the fun adventure that it was, the people who made the city safe, ARE NO LONGER THERE! They moved out a LONG time ago!

It’s time to face a cold hard fact, the "Crown Jewel of St. Louis" is no more. It died a slow and painful death many years ago. Yes, it’s time to face the facts, or face the consequences. There really are no other choices.*

As I was writing this short commentary I was reminded of another one of the world’s “Crown Jewels” or as in this case, “the Jewel in the Crown.” The late, great and first rate nation called Rhodesia (renamed Zimbabwe and now a third world cesspool), it was considered a jewel in the crown of the British Empire. The empire that was so vast that it encompassed much of the earth and was said to be a realm that “the sun never set on.” The brightest jewel in this empire’s crown was that nation of Rhodesia. But, like the St. Louis crown jewel, it died a slow and painful death. An obvious question arises, what caused it’s death and, are there any similarities between the two? Here’s a link that some may want to at least browse. It’s not at all PC, matter of fact, some may find it offensive. So to those that are offended easily, don't click on the following link.

Jurors reach verdict in 2003 Forest Park rape case

She [the victim] says on the evening of June 8, 2003, the man [pictured below] grabbed her and twisted her neck until she blacked out

Three years later, police say DNA evidence led them to a suspect.

The defense tried to argue the encounter was consensual, but not one juror believed his story.

====================

Meanwhile, the ACLU, is giving cameras to “city” dwellers so they can monitor the police. Isn’t that amazing? Women are being slapped down, choked to near death and brutally raped on public bicycle/jogging paths, and the ACLU is donating cameras so people can keep an eye on the police! Wow!! Why not give a few camera's to the female joggers and bicyclists who use the “Crown Jewel of St. Louis’” so they can keep an eye on the “city” dwellers? Ooops, but THAT wouldn’t be PC now would it?

More about the ACLU, an anti-Christian hate group that spends lots and lots of time and energy nationwide on making sure there are no “Jesus” statutes, pictures, nativity scenes, etc on our school grounds, court houses etc. Plus it’s committed itself to many other anti-America activities. Many of these “activities” are just downright anti-White. Links below.

ACLU Announces New Program To Monitor Police

The American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri is launching a new program designed to help citizens monitor the St. Louis Police Department.

The ACLU says it has given free video cameras to ten residents of north St. Louis. The residents are trained to videotape police activity from a safe distance.

The ACLU says it wants to document any police misconduct.

St. Louis police spokesman Richard Wilkes says he hopes the program will capture positive relations between officers and the community.

The ACLU is calling its new initiative "Project Vigilant."

Colored man sentenced to life for the merciless murder of a White female, now cries and pleads for forgiveness at his sentencing

Colored man below, robs a two-bit fast food restaurant. With pure evil, hatred and malice, he then callously shoots and murders the manager of the restaurant, a White grandmother. Now, as he faces the judge for his punishment, he cries and begs for forgiveness. To add insult to injury and with unequalled stupidly and shear audacity, he stands before the court and states; “It was all just an ‘honest mistake your honor.“ An “honest mistake!“ There was nothing honest about this incident. This act was one of the most dishonest things I had ever heard of. Shooting an unarmed person, an older White grandmother, during a robbery? An “honest mistake!? This was no mistake and there was nothing honest about it! Look at him, an armed robber and murderer, a cold-blooded killer of an innocent and unarmed grandmother, crying like a newborn while begging for mercy!

The judge sentences him to “life” in prison. Maybe the judge should feed, house, cloth and provide his medical care for the rest of his meaningless life instead of the Florida tax-payers? Florida is a capital punishment state! What in the heck is the DEATH penalty for? If cold-blooded killers of innocent grandmothers don’t get it, then who does? A burglar? Someone who burglars the governor’s or one of Florida’s other elite’s mansions? Is that what it is?

Florida has two methods of execution, the gas chamber and lethal injection, this merciless killer should be standing before the judge answering one simple and direct question, which one do you want boy?!

And for all you bleeding hearts out there, don’t worry, the State of Florida would have kept him all comfy-cozy while he awaited his fate should he have been sentenced to the proper punishment, death.

Look, a newly painted and well lighted area. He could have looked out through the bars and gandered at that view all day. Free of charge. The last prison I was in, they charged me just to get in, $14.99 or something like that.

Not even to mention the nice comfortable living quarters. Has a pillow, built-in sink/commode and everything.

Here’s his victim, the judge didn’t get to ask her any questions or even hear her voice. Ma’am would you like to live? Ma’am would you like to see your grandchildren ever again? Ma’am, he just made an “honest mistake,” you do forgive him don’t you? I think we should give him a life sentence so he can live out the remainder of his life, don’t you? No, there wasn’t any questions asked of her, no statements made by her, she was the ultimate victim, she was sentenced to death!

Below, her heart-broken family shedding tears in the courtroom. I hope like hell I never have to live through something like what they have. I am not a deeply religious person but I do live by the belief of; “Always count your blessings, before you ask for more.” That being said, I only ask one thing . . . please keep my family safe. I’m certainly not saying they didn’t, I’m simply stating, I do.

Below, his GF, she assisted in the robbery and murder but received only 30 years. It’s customary for the female to receive less time, why, I don’t know. I guess they figure the female to be more or less following the male. If this had been two males who committed the robbery/murder, more than likely, both would have faced the same charges. Here’s a case where 3 males robbed an AutoZone, all three were shot by the police with one dying of his wounds. Even though it was the police who shot and killed them, the two survivors were charged with his murder.

It’s always interesting to see the “court clean-up” of the criminal. Here’s the face the White grandmother saw as she took her last breath.

Here’s the one the court saw begging for mercy and a sentence other than life.

In any case, here’s the face I will always remember. If there is indeed a God, if there is indeed a utopia called heaven, please place this soul above mine in that kingdom come.

Convicted Checkers Murderer Begs For Forgiveness

Sean Camacho killed an Osceola County grandmother while she worked at a Checkers restaurant. Wednesday, the convicted murderer begged for a judge's mercy.

Camacho, 23, has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering the manager of the fast-food restaurant. Betty Wise was a 56-year-old grandmother, who was shot to death during a robbery.

With a cracking voice and tears streaming down his face, Camacho said he was sorry.

"I do deserve to go to prison," he said, crying.

But Camacho still called the murder of Betty Wise an "honest mistake." Camacho shot Wise to death during the March 2005 robbery of a Kissimmee Checkers restaurant where the woman was a manager. Wise's family cried in court as her son Frank asked for justice.

"This would be easier if there was some real reason she had to die, but being shot in cold blood is no reason," he said.

Camacho's family also attended the sentencing and his mother apologized on her son's behalf.

"What I am about to say comes from my heart. I am sorry for the actions of my son," Paulette Camacho said.

While Camacho asked for a sentence short of life, Judge Jon Morgan told him what he did was not some honest mistake, but murder, and he handed down the maximum sentence.

Shortly before that moment, Camacho's emotions broke open.

"I ask that you, Judge Morgan, have mercy on me. Give me a second chance to go home to my family," he said.

Camacho planned the robbery with his girlfriend at the time, Marlo Cobb. She has already been sent to prison for 30 years.

Black teens shoot it out at the mall

A shootout in the parking lot of a Pine Hills strip mall injured two teens, Wednesday afternoon. The two teenagers were shot outside the Winn-Dixie shopping plaza on Pine Hills and Silver Star roads.

It was the third time deputies had been called out to the mall, Wednesday. An 18- and a 14-year-old were hit. Both are in serious condition. Authorities said that 14-year-old may have been an innocent bystander.

Investigators think a bullet may have traveled all the way across the parking lot and hit the boy as he stood with his father at a tire shop.

Now, deputies are trying to figure out who's responsible. Moments after the shooting, deputies moved in with guns drawn, detaining four young men who may have been involved.

"It just sounded crazy, like a movie, gunshots just going back and forth, a whole lot of 'em," said an eyewitness identified only as Tasha.

The eyewitnesses said they were getting their car washed at the Winn-Dixie parking lot when a large fight got out of hand and two people started shooting, hitting the two teenagers.

"A little boy went running across the street and I ran over and seen the blood coming out his neck. I took a shirt and put it on his neck," Tasha said. "I was trying to get away, because I didn't want to get hit. I thought I was going to get hit."

With all the people, deputies said there was a lot of chaos at the scene. They have three young men detained and were hoping eyewitnesses could help them identify who was involved.
