In this exhaustive and detailed post, Eddie G. Griffin provides a thorough refutation of Craig Franklin’s column in the Christian Science monitor.  Eddie has combed through all the Jena-related articles published by the Alexandria TownTalk since the noose incident in September.  No one can read this material (much of it written by reporter Abbey Brown) without realizing that the black community was outraged by the noose incident and the way it was handled by public officials.  This impression is actually deepened by articles in the Jena Times that describe a locked-down campus bristling with tension.  Craig Franklin can replace history with fantasy if he wishes; but the facts speak for themselves.  Please give Mr. Griffin’s post a careful reading.
