Jena 6 coverage

I have read about the Jena 6 online at dallasmorningnews website. I was shocked to find out that this actually happened in 2006 because, I only recently found out about it. There obviously seems to be more media coverage over the events that took place now then when it first happened. I feel it is extremely sad to see racism alive and kicking today. The beatings that took place were definetely unacceptable behavior but sending them to jail for attempted murder is insane. If everyone who got in a fight in highschool was sent to jail half of our teens would be inmates for attempted murder. I believe the coverage has been fair, and I have been able to get a complete understanding of what is happenning.
