Talk:Jena Six/Assault

The Assault

This sentence is wrong, but I can't seem to edit the page:

"Bailey was hit and kicked by the six and was temporarily knocked unconsious."

That should read:

"Barker was hit and kicked by the six and was temporarily knocked unconsious." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.246.40.5 (talk) 01:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It's been fixed. Ophois 03:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Assault Section Changes

"From there, according to white witnesses, a group of black students followed suit by repeatedly kicking him, though black witnesses deny that this occurred."

A black Jena student corroborated the "repeated kicking" version of the story today on CNN. Why does the current wording imply that all of the black witnesses deny this action took place. It should say "... though some black witnesses deny this occurred." Thedeparted123 04:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps because we hadn't seen that story today, or because the current source in use says that the black witnesses denied it? Do you have a link to the story you mentioned, so someone can change it? Thanks. Ophois 04:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I updated it, so it just says that some witnesses claimed he was kicked. Thanks for pointing it out. Ophois 05:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
