Jena, Louisiana is a quiet, bucolic town of manicured lawns and lush shade trees. Jena was very sympathetic to it's neighbor to the south, New Orleans, when after that little rain storm they had a few years back, Jena took all their young refugee children out of their shelters and into their municipal bosom. Everything went haywire in September, 2007 when Al Sharpton brought in agitators to disrupt the peace. Soon, Jena police took the 6 felons into custody. Mr. Sharpton is still at large.

  • Jena, Louisiana is a quiet, bucolic town of manicured lawns and lush shade trees. Jena was very sympathetic to it's neighbor to the south, New Orleans, when after that little rain storm they had a few years back, Jena took all their young refugee children out of their shelters and into their municipal bosom. Everything went haywire in September, 2007 when Al Sharpton brought in agitators to disrupt the peace. Witnesses say Reverend Al set fire to the school and chopped down the school's 'Racial Harmony' tree (see photo at left). The town had protected the tree from destruction by those in the town who wanted to cut down that symbolic reminder of a time in their heritage they didn't want to remember. Others said it should stay as evidence of overcoming racial strife (hence the name). Not content with peace, Al Sharpton bought a house in Jena, bringing along 6 fellow Nation of Islamers with him. Within days of their arrival the tree was gone and half the school was burned down. Soon, Jena police took the 6 felons into custody. Mr. Sharpton is still at large.
