It was the fall of 2006. It was my Senior year at Jena when it happened. It happened as lunch ended to go into our 3rd block classes. I had just left the gym (which was where it happened) when it happened. Sadly Justin Barker (the guy they almost beat to death) was beaten up because he was a good friend of the guy who they were really after but he was expelled from school already.

Well idk how many people outside of the ones who were actually going to school at Jena at the time know this but it all started when two guys hung a noose in the tree that stood in the middle of our school grounds. It was the middle of football season and the supposed real reason for the nooses was to "Hang the opponent" we were playing that Friday night. Well they took it the wrong way and couldn't be convinced otherwise, and apparently the Principal did also and that is what got the two guys suspended from school. Well it just got worse and worse as the weeks went on. I still remember Theo Shaw telling me in English class that if they came back to school, they were going beat them to death. Theo Shaw and Carwin Jones surprised me with this because they always seemed well mannered all throughout my school years.

I'm sure it was on the merits

This more than any case shows what scumbags the civil rights industry is. The black boys all deserved years in prison, with their release date probably being about right now. But the civil rights activists thought it was fine for blacks to send a white to the hospital. So the boys got about 3 months probation. And Al Sharpton and Co still held riots because they thought that 3 months probation was too harsh.
Maybe the original attempted murder charge was too harsh. But that was the only legitimate grievance the Jena 6 supporters had.

Would like to hear more about the guy who went to Hofstra and played lacrosse.
They don't just give out lacrosse schollys like they do football: to play lacrosse, you actually have to have the academics to be enrolled in the school before you can even be considered for athletics.
