Group A had counted that particular tree as "theirs".

If group A is white, and want something as "theirs", a tree, doesn't that sound a bit ridiculous? Do they have white bars, buses, stores, down there in Jena? Even if that tree is known as being a white only tree for a century, it is no excuse - school administration, the local DA and anyone else should be able to recognize how stupid, how anachronistic, such a thing is.
I am as conservative as they come, and feel that CNN and the main stream media on the whole are looking to bait the public with sensationalism, but this is racism pure and simple. And for all white liberal minds out there that think racism is dead and gone, take a hard look.
The job of the county prosecutor, or DA, is hard when stuff like this happens, but they must regard justice as blind. It seems as if the charges ARE unevenly stacked against blacks in this case. Shame on the prosecutor.
