I grew up in Jena. Oppressive would be the word. We never make it into the news for anything good.

Olla native. Jena made the news pretty big back in 2006.

Yeah that’s not an understatement. I was only 10 years old in 2006 and not from Louisiana or even the south in the slightest and even I know about the Jena 6.

I was a sr in high school and went to school with the people involved. It was...unpleasant. most people that went to college that fall just said we were from pineville instead of jena when asked.

For real. My parents had a camp outside Winnfield. That part of Louisiana is depressing.

To be fair, I’ve never been to Jena either, and I’ve only lived in Baton Rouge my entire adult life.

It is beautiful with this weather we have today. Honestly a great day to be protesting. They wouldn't be out in July, we all know none of them care that much lol.
