What's Jena 6?

Basically, in a Louisianian mixed school where the races self-segregated 6 black guys beat up one white boy. They made contradictory claims that he either was directly racist to them or he did a "hate crime" a few weeks earlier where nooses were hanged outside the school (although I believe it was actually revealed to be a dumb prank played on the school's mostly-white rodeo team to represent their lassos and not tied to racism), even though most of the investigators came the conclusion that the attack was unprovoked and premeditated by the blacks. They were to be charged with aggravated battery but the media and the black activists considered this to harsh and its harshness an example of police injustice, a mix of they dindu nuffin, the white boi deserved it and "the crime is not fitting the punishment".
