Double Standard? Who Really Should Be Outraged?

Jena, LA – Thousands rally in protest regarding the prosecution of five black juveniles who were initially tried as adults for second degree murder after beating a white teen to death. Hillary Clinton joined Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson in speaking out in what they call a “civil injustice” and unfair treatment.

But who really should be outraged here? Certainly the community of the small Louisiana town has a right to be upset over white teens not being charged for the hanging of nooses. Certainly the actions of these teens should not be tolerated and they deserve to spend some time in a juvenile correction facility. This is something that we can all understand.

Now let’s look at the other side of the story. What message do we send to our children when allow murder to go unpunished. Juvenile or not, black, white, red or blue, if you attack someone and that attack results in their death, then by all means you should be punished to the full extent of the law. And if you are capable of understanding right from wrong then you should be tried as an adult in a court of law. I feel the prosecutors did the right things in this case and the judge who sold out his position by giving in to pressure and reducing the sentence needs to be excused from his bench because as a judge you must interpret the law and act according. And legally any person that commits murder by any means should be responsible for his actions.

Congratulations Hillary Clinton, Mr. Sharpton, and Reverend Jackson for once again betraying the America system of justice. Your support of this racial bigotry, and make no mistake, your actions are just as bigoted as the boys who committed the initial crime, because you are saying its okay to kill a man or a woman as long as the motive is offense to a particular race, sex, religion, or creed.

Let me be clear for the Bible says both “Thou Shall Not Kill” and “Love Your Neighbor as You Love Yourself.” No man or woman should be forced to suffer discrimination. It’s sad that a hundred and thirty years after Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery there is intolerance and hatred that remains in the country, clearly on both sides. But its even a bigger blow to the Constitution that we may excuses for murder because the criminal who committed the crime claims racial motivation.
