Roanoke white supremacist says FBI is monitoring his website because of posted addresses of Jena six families.

Roanoke white supremacist says FBI is monitoring his website because of posted addresses of Jena six families.

Even though the FBI is reviewing his web site, a Roanoke man says the agency will never shut him down.

Bill White is a white supremacist. He lists five of the six addresses for the Jena 6 defendants on his web site. The FBI is now looking to see if White violated any federal laws.

On his web site White essentially called for the lynching of the six black teens accused of beating a white student in Louisiana. He says he hasn't broken any laws.

Bill White has turned heads and raised eyebrows with his protests and literature since his arrival in the Star City nearly four-years ago.

Now, the neo-Nazi is garnering national and FBI attention by listing the addresses and phone numbers of the Jena gina 6 and asking for retribution.

White said today, "There's a big difference between them reviewing something and me doing something wrong. They have been reviewing, reviewing and reviewing it for years and years and years. We have been publishing. We will continue to publish."

White, who is the commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, says the FBI has not contacted him.

He says he decided to post the addresses to show people that his group is "not going to tolerate black on white racial crime."

Meanwhile, as communities around the country have rallied around the Jena 6, locally the NAACP says it's surprised how people have reacted to the situation in Louisiana and Bill White represents a small segment of the public.

Daniel Hale Jr. is the president of the local NAACP. He said, "It demonstrates in our society that we have people who spew hatred and still demonstrate hatred in some type or form."© 2004-2007 LSN, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

No Bail for 'Jena Six' Teen

(AP / Jena, La.) — A relative of one of the Jena Six said a judge denied bail Friday for Mychal Bell, the only one of the teens who is jailed in the beating of a white classmate.

Attorneys would not comment because juvenile court proceedings are secret. But the father of one of Bell's co-defendants said Bell's bail request was rejected.

Bell's mother left the courthouse in tears and refused to comment.

Bell is the only one of the group known as the Jena Six to have been tried so far in the December beating of a white classmate.

Bell was convicted of aggravated second-degree battery, which could have led to 15 years in prison. But his conviction was thrown out by a state appeals court that said he could not be tried on the charge as an adult because he was 16 at the time of the beating.

On Thursday, the case drew thousands of protesters to this tiny central Louisiana town to rally against what they see as a double standard of justice for blacks and whites. The march was one of the biggest civil rights demonstrations in years.

JENA, La. - A Louisiana appeals court has tossed out the battery conviction of a black teenager who faced 15 years in prison for the beating of a white classmate amid racial tensions in the north Louisiana town of Jena.

Mychal Bell had been convicted of aggravated second-degree battery. He's one of the so-called Jena Six, a group of black teenagers charged in the beating of Justin Barker last December.

Bell, who was 16 at the time of the beating, was due to be sentenced Thursday in a case that has drawn international attention. He and four others were originally charged with attempted second-degree murder. Those charges brought widespread criticism that blacks were being treated more harshly than whites following racial altercations involving Jena High

Nearly a year ago, in the small northern Louisiana town of Jena, a group of white students hung three nooses from a tree in front of Jena High School. This set into motion a season of racial tension and incidents that culminated in six Black youths facing a lifetime in jail for a schoolyard fight.

The story that has unfolded since then is one of racism and injustice, but also of resistance and solidarity, as people from around the world have joined together with the families of the accused, lending legal and financial support, adding political pressure, and joining demonstrations and marches. Nooses were hung after a Black student asked permission to sit under a tree that had been reserved by tradition for white students only. In response to the three nooses, nearly every Black student in the school stood under the tree in a spontaneous and powerful act of nonviolent protest. The town's district attorney quickly arrived, flanked by police officers, and told the Black students to stop making such a big deal over the nooses, which school officials termed to be a "harmless prank."

Black students were warned. "I can make your lives disappear with a stroke of a pen," District Attorney Reed Walters said. Meanwhile, white students hanging the nooses never received any real punishment. Months later white students beat up a Black student at a school party, also threatened two Black students with a shotgun. They were never punished. But, after these incidents, when Black students got into a fight with a white student, six Black youths were arrested and charged with attempted murder. All together they faced a lifetime in prison.

The white student was briefly hospitalized, but had no major injuries and was socializing with friends at a school ring ceremony the evening of the fight. Despite this, when Mychal Bell, the first youth to go to trial, refused to take a deal in exchange for testifying against his friends, he was quickly convicted by an all-white jury. Bell’s public defender, Blane Williams, called no witnesses and gave a short defense. The Justice System in the United States must be looked at more closely to end discrimination.
