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.

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.”

DA In The Jena Six Case Denies The Protests And The Pressure Had Any Bearing On His Desion To Let Bell Go Free

District Attorney Reed Walters said if he had it all to do over again, he would do things differently. He would not change how he prosecuted the case; instead, he would change how he communicated the case. He’s been true to his word. In the past week he’s held two news conferences and written an Op-Ed spot for the New York Times.

Walters denies the protests and the pressure have had any bearing on his actions. No one in town or elsewhere believes him.

This story has grown beyond Jena in many minds. Sometimes the facts seem to just get in the way. Jesse Jackson said all charges should be dropped against Bell and the other members of the "Jena 6." But there was a crime. Classmate Justin Barker was beat up by a group of youths last December at the high school. And it was not just a schoolyard fight. Barker was blindsided with the first punch as he stepped out the door. As he fell he struck his head. He was defenseless as he was repeatedly punched and kicked while he lay unconscious.

Should Jena ignore this crime for the greater good? Ignore it like authorities allegedly ignored white-on-black incidents in the town? Perhaps Bell, who some say wasn't even part of the assault on Barker, should use the line some fostered in the high school after nooses appeared in a tree on campus, that it was "just a prank."

Colorado students are going to walkout on monday- for the Jena 6

University of Colorado students organizing Jena Six walkoutBOULDER, Colo. — Some University of Colorado students are organizing a classroom walkout Monday to bring attention to the “Jena 6” case.

CU senior Jarvis Fuller, a member of CU’s Black Student Alliance, said the walkout was part of a national effort called for by rapper Mos Def to highlight the treatment of six black teenagers in the Louisiana town of Jena.



“This is a clear example that there’s a lot of inequality, a lot of injustice going on,” said Fuller, who learned about the effort in an e-mail from a friend on campus.

He said the 50 members of the BSA would participate in the walkout and wear green to represent liberation.

Sally Ho, a spokeswoman for the University of Colorado Student Union, said representatives of the student government would also join the walkout.

Jarvis said he would encourage more students to participate through e-mails and postings on Facebook, a popular social networking site.

Last week, thousands of protesters converged on Jena to rally against what they perceive as different standards of justice for blacks and whites.

Mike Vick In The News Again This Time Its A Good Thing

Drawing of Lane Stadium signed by Mike Vick,And 7 other Hokies Will Be auctioned
A drawing of Lane Stadium signed by Michael Vick and seven other Virginia Tech football stars will be auctioned Saturday with proceeds going to the fund set up in the wake of the mass killings at Virginia Tech in April. Brian Hart went to work on the piece after a student gunman killed 32 people and committed suicide April 16 on the Blacksburg campus. He spent two months this summer tracking down eight of the nine former players whose names adorn Lane Stadium's banners that honor its greatest players, with the exception of the late Frank Loria.

"Like a lot of people--most people--I wanted to do something to give, do something to help" in the wake of the massacre, Hart said.



Hart, 43, visited Vick's Hampton Roads home to get the Atlanta Falcons quarterback's signature early this summer, weeks before dogfighting charges placed Vick in the national spotlight.

Since then, Vick has pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge, been indicted on state charges related to dogfighting and has been suspended indefinitely without pay from the Falcons. On Wednesday, a federal judge tightened restrictions on Vick after he tested positive for marijuana, a violation of the conditions of his release as he awaits sentencing on the federal conviction.

When Hart saw Vick, he said the quarterback was looking forward to the season staring and hoping to lead the Falcons to the Super Bowl. Hart said Vick was eager to help his alma mater.

"It has to have Michael Vick's autograph on there," Hart said "It's be incomplete without it."

Mychal Bell Goes Free, Judge Free's Mychal Bell The Latest Jena 6 News

Mychal Bell, a black teenager accused of beating a white classmate and who was the last of the "Jena 6" behind bars, was released from custody Thursday after a juvenile court judge set his bail at $45,000.


Bell's release followed an announcement from LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters, who said he would not appeal a higher court's decision moving Bell's case to juvenile court.

Wearing a blue striped golf shirt and jeans, Bell walked out of the LaSalle Parish courthouse a week after an estimated 15,000-plus demonstrators marched through Jena -- a town of about 3,000 -- to protest local authorities' handling of the teens' case.

"We do not condone violence of any kind, but we ask that people be given a fair and even chance at the bar of justice," the Rev. Al Sharpton said outside the courthouse.

"Tonight, Mychal can go home, but Mychal is not out of the juvenile process. He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him," he said.

"Let America know -- we are not fighting for the right to fight in school. We're not fighting for the right for kids to beat each other. We're fighting to say that there must be one level of justice for everybody. And you cannot have adult attempted murder for some, and a fine for others, and call that equal protection under the law. Two wrongs don't make one civil right."

Demonstrators at last week's march were protesting how authorities handled the cases of Bell and five other teens accused of beating fellow student Justin Barker.

Many said they were angry that the students, dubbed the Jena 6, were being treated more harshly than three white students who hung nooses from an oak tree on Jena High School property.
The white students were suspended from school but did not face criminal charges. The protesters said they should have been charged with a hate crime.

Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said the teen was moved from jail to a juvenile facility earlier Thursday.

Walters said his decision not to appeal was based on what he believed was best for the victim in the case.

"While I believe that a review would have merit ... I believe it is in the best interest of the victim and his family not to delay this matter any further and move it to its conclusion," Walters told reporters. Watch the Rev. Al Sharpton discuss the teen's release »

He said last week's march, which included Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, did not influence his decision.

Bell, now 17, was the only one of the Jena 6 behind bars. His bond previously was set at $90,000.

Jesse Jackson Calls Bush Is Told To Leave A Message

Rev. Jesse Jackson on Sunday called on President Bush in the Jena 6 case, accusing authorities in Louisiana of treating six black teenagers more harshly than white classmates who had been involved in fights.



Jackson described the prosecution against the teenagers as the latest struggle in the decades-old civil rights movement, saying "Jena is not just Jena; there is a Jena everywhere," during a news conference at the Third Baptist Church on Chicago's South Side.

"There is urgency in Jena. We need the Department of Justice to intervene," said Jackson, who said he called the White House on Sunday and left a message.

He said he wants to see Michael Mukasey, Bush's nominee for attorney general, counter the actions of local officials, who he said have allowed a double standard to be administered.

"This will be the first test of [Mukasey's] commitment to justice," Jackson said.
