i just saw this on CNN and all i can do is say wtf and question this country.
never. NEVER has a high school student, let alone 5, been charged in court with murder on account of a school fight. there are just TOO many things wrong with this whole thing.
i am in no way saying that the students who attacked Barker shouldn't be held accountable, but they haven't even identified the attackers yet and it was a high school fight. wtf place does the court have in this? i understand Barker's mother is upset, of course she should be, but she claims that her son would have died had the fight not been stopped. and yet she wasn't even there to know. and yet her son didn't even require hospitalization.
and the nooses...
urgh. not saying that Barker had anything to do with the nooses and not supporting hs fights, but i want the ass(es) of whoever hung those nooses kicked to hell and back.

- all white jury
- black students charged with attempted murder even though the white student wasn't even hospitalized
- meanwhile, the white students who hung the nooses were only given brief suspensions
- Bell possibly being charged 20yrs in prison when they haven't even identified him as the attacker
- the school principle's comments directed towards the students, which i can't remember word for word, but it was COMPLETELY unnecessary
