Homeground School Terrorism?

After yesterdays school shooting in Chicago it got me thinking more about the Jena 6 case again. The issue of protecting our children is not been taken seriously either the schools or the federal government. A city of the federal government, rather than to state governments, because this should fall under Homeland security.

To me it is obvious that there are two big mistakes in the Jena 6 case, or should I say cases, that should be obvious to every one. Those are, #1) that whom there was no prosecution, in the first case of the first that put the nooses on the tree, his number two that there was no prosecution in the case battery involving the six persons, who became upset because of the original incident in.
What you should note that when, it is that the original crime should have been prosecuted as a terrorist act. That right, as a terrorist act. Any threats, but she occurred in a school or on the school grounds, which threaten or imply estimate towards any others to do should be prosecuted under federal law as a terrorist threat. If a student knows can be locked up as an enemy combatant or other serious felony count on you will be a deterrent. Of course, it will require federal and state laws been enacted.

What's the difference between some student and sending in mouth, brand-name bringing or bomb to school, and then leaving a noose on a tree? There are just too many young lives at risk, based on the number of school and university shootings that are happening, to look at these situations as simple misdemeanors. Their world is just different now. If this were the case after the original crime involving the nooses, then the second incident in this situation might never have happened.

Regarding the crime/beating involving the Jena 6 defendants, this incident should have been prosecuted like any other crime that occurs on the school grounds based on State and or Federal Law, with no regard as to what the race of the two defendants is.

With one of the "Jena 6" being arrested on a probation violation, related to the act he was not charged with, maybe its time to re-charge those involved in the "noose" incident too. If you're asking if this writter is a Conservative... you bet I am. Which means that I make my decisions, and support justice and public safety, without regard to color or ethnicity.

Is this a hard-line stance? Absolutely. It's what's necessary to protect your children and mine. If all threats at schools aren't investigated and handled as terrorist threats, whether the threat is from a student or from the outside, then students and teachers are less likely to die. That's just the way it is.

If you disagree, are you willing to bet your child's life?
