"Jena 6" thug faces new assault charge in Texas
Remember back in September of last year when we were treated to
rallies in favor of black racism after the so-called “Jena 6″ were arrested for trying to stomp a white student to death?
There was an outcry for them to be acquitted, despite their savage behavior. We were demagogued by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who jumped on the occasion to claim victim status for all black Americans (despite the irony of the situation being that a white student was beaten by six black students). And we were lectured by Hillary Clinton, who claimed that this was a “teachable moment for America” and sought to make white America feel accountable for the actions of the six punks in question.
Well, now one of them is in trouble for violence again. Surprise, surprise.
A member of the so-called “Jena Six” bonded out of jail Thursday after being arrested on assault charges in North Texas.Bryant Purvis, 19, was released from jail in Carrollton early Thursday morning on charges stemming from a fight with a fellow student at Hebron High School.
Purvis’ mother says her son moved to North Texas to try to lead a normal life in the wake of the Jena Six controversy.
A normal life? Sure, if “normal” includes being honored for stomping a white boy.
Purvis had stayed out of the spotlight for most of the year, but did appear on Black Entertainment Television’s Hip-Hop Awards. Purvis and fellow defendant Carwin Jones helped present the Video of the Year award during the October awards show.
It’s sad to see that a violent hoodlum is treated as a hero in the hip-hop community. This is the kind of thing that perpetuates racial tensions.
Purvis’ mother says her son suspected a fellow student of slashing the tires on his Dodge station wagon Tuesday night, and the two got into an altercation Wednesday.
[...]
There’s no indication the incident involving the vehicle is related to last year’s events in Jena.
[...]
In Nov., Purvis plead not guilty to aggravated battery and conspiracy. Another member of the six plead guilty in the case.
Sounds to me like Purvis is the one in need of a “teachable moment.”
