Latest Jena 6 Comment From A Mother Of 5

Mychal Bell has served enough time in jail for him and the other young men. Now they have come up with something else to have him behind bars.Why not give him time served? It's okay for them to charge him and the others young men as adults, but not okay for him to get time served for all of his crimes. The DA said he couldn't find charges to charges the boys who hung the nooses, well why not make up charges just like he did for the Jena Six. I'm not in no way shape or form excusing what happened,but if you're going to punish people punish everyone invlved and not make excuses why the Jena Six were accused and the white boys weren't. I'm just a concern parent of 5 beautiful children and in this day and age it's ridiculous to have this kind of stuff going on especially sinc so many peole have sacrifice their lives for this same fight hundreds of years ago. God Bless The Jena Six Keep praying and know that all of you are in a lot of people prays and through God All Things Are Possible.

Latest Jena 6 News Mychal Bell Sentenced To 18 Months

Mychal Bell is back on jail after only two weeks of so called free- freedom, Mychal Bell is once again back behind Jena Louisiana Juvenile jail bars.

Bell, by far the most well-known of the "Jena Six," was taken back into custody Thursday after a juvenile court hearing in Jena, LA.


Mychal Bell, who is only 17,had been held in an adult detention facility for roughly 10 months awaiting trial and then sentencing after a June conviction in connection with the beating of a fellow student at Jena High School,the case then went on to make national headlines. He was had been free since being released on bond on Sept. 27. Not even 1 month ago, the latest news has infuriated the Rev.Al Sharpton, who calls this cruel and unusual punisment.


The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has supported the Jena Six and worked for Bell to be released on bond last month, issued this statement Thursday night:

"Tonight, Mychal Bell was placed by the same judge in Jena, Louisiana, in a secured juvenile facility for 18 months after convicting him for two prior pending cases.

"We feel this was a cruel and unusual punishment and is a revenge by this judge for the Jena Six movement. His parents must also pay all costs of the court and witness costs and will have to pay for him in the facility. It is belived that the National Action Network will financially support the parents through this unusual financial strain imposed upon them."

Sharpton then added:"I call upon the governor of Louisiana, who has the overseeing powers over the juvenile criminal justice system, to meet with us immediately intervene on this obviously biased decision by the same judge. I intend to raise this next Tuesday, October 16th, in the proceedings of the United States House Judiciary Committee Hearings on Jena in Washington, D.C."



There is litle being said about the Thursday juvenile hearing that lasted from 1 p.m. until just after 8 p.m. A gag order was issued earlier this month by 28th Judicial District Court Judge J.P. Mauffray against Bell, his family and the attorneys involved, they have been prevented from talking to the press about the case, family has said.

It is unknown where Bell is being taken, but it is a juvenile facility.

Home Depot Workers Find Racial Slurs And A Noose Just The Latest Jena 6 News

A Home Depot, Noose, and a racist slur

Home Depot Construction workers in South Elgin report incident and previous symbol of hate.
South Elgin police are investigating a hate crime after a racial slur was painted on a work counter and a noose was found hanging from an exit at a Home Depot store under construction, authorities said today.

The store's general contractor called police Monday morning to report that someone had written a racial slur in white spray paint on a countertop, South Elgin Detective Sgt. Mike Doty said.

And the construction firm felt it also might be a good time to tell police that about a week ago, workers discovered a noose made out of foam hanging from an exit in the building's garden center, Doty said. The incident was not reported to police at the time.



"There's been nothing like this before since they have been building the Home Depot," Doty said. "Based on the noose and the word, we are investigating it under the form of a hate crime."

The store is expected to open next month. The vandalism is just one of several suspected hate crimes reported in recent weeks in the Chicago area.
On Monday, a Lombard woman awoke to find a racial slur spray-painted in large red letters on the aluminum siding of the house she rents in the 1000 block of Sheldon Way.

Officials say the cases are the latest in a series of racial incidents across the country in the aftermath of the Jena 6 case in Louisiana.

It is said that one of the construction workers who saw the noose did contact the NAACP and told the group he thought it was intended for an African-American co-worker, said Temi Latinwo-Jones, the chapter's president.

A spokeswoman for Atlanta-based Home Depot said the home-improvement giant will also be investigating this latest case of Jena 6 hate crime.

"The Home Depot maintains a zero tolerance policy against discrimination and harassment," said spokeswoman Jennifer King in a written statement.

Latest Jena 6 News David Banner Takes His Cause To The Radio

The hip-hop community has been more vocal about the Jena Six case, from its stars to its blogs, which have posted frequent updates about the teens’ fate.

The always outspoken Mississippi rapper David Banner wasn’t at last month’s protest —instead, he went on a radio tour to promote his album so he could let listeners know about the case.



If you wondered why he said “I thought it would have been more powerful for me to get on the radio and talk about it, and drive people there and let people know what’s going on than actually being there,” said Banner. “We wanna be there to show face, but if you’re actually more powerful at the capacity that you are, then you should do what you do.”

Banner says he became involved because “it’s so close to home.

“No. 2, there’s a Jena Six that goes on in Mississippi every month — or every two months,” he continued. “See that’s the thing. America has a tendency to try to make things — single out things — as if this is a one-time occurrence. ... We have to stop acting like stuff don’t exist.”

Falcons Want There Money Back Vick Lawyers In Court For State Charges

The Atlanta Falcons wants a refund on the $22 million in bonus money paid to quarterback Michael Vick.

"I don't expect it will go beyond a day," said University of Pennsylvania law professor Stephen B. Burbank, the special master who will serve as arbitrator of the hearing at the law school.


Attorneys representing the NFL Players Association will argue against the Falcons' claim.

The team is expected to contend that Vick knew he was in violation of the contract when he signed the $130 million deal in December 2004, and that he used proceeds from the deal to fund his dogfighting operation.

"I think clearly it's a reach on the part of the Falcons," said Jerry Reisman, a contract and business attorney based in Garden City, N.Y. "I think Vick earned that money. He received the roster bonus given out if you are on a roster at any point. He was on the roster in 2004 and earned the money."

Under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, bonus money earned cannot be returned.

Also Wednesday, Vick's attorney appeared in Surry County (Va.) Circuit Court and was asked to return Nov. 27 to set a trial date on state charges. The attorney, Larry Woodward, told the judge he would be in touch with the prosecutor. It's possible Vick might agree to a plea deal or his attorneys could file a motion to toss the charges.

Investigation going on since noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck

GRAMBLING -- Grambling State University President Horace Judson said the school has begun a full investigation of facts surrounding a Sept. 20 incident at Grambling Lab's elementary school in which a noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck.

The same day that thousands of protestors marched in Jena, a mock rally of smaller scale took place at Alma J. Brown Elementary School, which is on the GSU campus and run by the university.

Judson said he will meet with officials from the elementary school and the GSU College of Education.

"Everyone wants answers, and I don't have them right now," he said Monday morning.

National attention is aimed at this university today with concerns about child safety following the incident in which teachers used a noose and other means because "the children asked questions" about the Jena Six incident, said Justin LaGrande, a reporter at the GSU student newspaper.
