Two wrongs don't make a right?
Let's not contradict American history.
British imposes taxes on the American's, so America kicks British out of the colonies, Natives were on the landmass first, so they attempt to kick the Americans out, Americans decide hell no and kick the Natives off their land....
I can't help but notice how many times our wrongs seem to be always right when it works in our favor.
They always seem to be right from our point of view.
Also, the mere fact that you said you were making assumptions invalidates your argument entirely, because in the "United States of America" where this is taking place, you can't justify arresting and/or prosecuting a person with assumptions and half-assed information.
Well aside from the "assumptions", which were more of inferences, I managed to find a less-biased article at least. Its Wikipedia, but its locked so that only credibly editors can edit. The part about the "superficial wounds" interested me.
Wikipedia-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jena_Six#Convenience_store_incident said:Barker's injuries
Barker was released from the hospital after two hours of treatment and observation for a concussion and an eye that had swollen shut.[8] The emergency physician's record shows that he also had injuries to his face, ears and hand.[18] He then attended his school's Ring ceremony that evening,[8] though he later testified, "I waited 11 years to go to it. I wasn't going to let that get in my way," and that he ended up leaving early due to pain.[19]
During the trial, Barker also testified that his face was badly swollen after the attack and that he lost vision in one eye for three weeks. He also stated that he suffered recurring headaches since the attack, though tests have detected no medical cause for them.[19]
But, nonetheless, I see where you're coming from, and I see what you mean by describing another side of the story.
Unfortunately, due to Louisiana's credibility, such a story won't be believed unless they come up with actual evidence.
If you read the whole rest of the Wiki article, it gives a less biased point of view. No article is perfect, but that yahoo news article is shit.
