The Jena 6: Dispartiy of Justice?

It seems people like Al Sharpton doesn't have much to do other then get in the middle of these race questions. I still don't see the disparity in justice between the whites and the blacks in this town.

The six black teens were charged a few months after three white teens
were accused of hanging nooses in a tree on their high school grounds. The white
teens were suspended from school but weren't prosecuted. Five of the black teens
were initially charged with attempted murder. That charge was reduced to battery for all but one, who has yet to be arraigned; the sixth was charged as a
juvenile.

The beating victim, Justin Barker, was knocked unconscious, his
face badly swollen and bloodied, though he was able to attend a school function
later that night.

About the only thing the white students could have been tried for is terroristic threatening. It would be hard to prove that the nooses could have been lynching threats though. If they actually attacked a black kid or threatened them with nooses then the DA would have had more of a case. Simply hanging nooses is hard to make into a crime according to Louisiana law.

However the black kids actually beat a white boy unconscious. One of them even had priors. Maybe attempted murder was too strong a charge but they still beat a person unconscious and could have easily killed him because he couldn't defend himself. So the DA reduced the charge to battery. Why should they be freed? They actually beat a boy unconscious and the DA had enough evidence to bring them to trial and convict some one them. In fact this Jena 6 committed a hate crime because they attacked this kid simply because of his race. The DA didn't bring hate crime charges against them but simply tried them for an actual crime.
