What about the kid that is a repeat offender? How many apologies is he allowed... til he kills someone?

When things are seen from a perspective of "Black & White" You have already lost. When a society can evolve based upon it's collective merits, Human beings will begin to see their true potential. Politically correct and affirmative action is just racism in a pretty box with nice wrapping.

Perhaps I was feeling too generous last night while gladly remembering I wasn't punished for every wrong or stupid thing I did in my youth. I don't know all the facts and I'm pretty sure no one else here does either. I wish we could trust the justice system to be fair in this but I'm not sure of that either.

Google up Jason Whitlock and Jena 6. He's the only columnist I know that has really researched this thing and tried to lay it out truthfully as it happened. Many of the perceptions about the incident are incorrect.
