This is the New World Order's North American Union, from the outset the sham-trickery of the Skull & Crossbones crew. For which your illustrious leaders of this Democratic Republic called America are ALL a part of, including the candidates of note for 2008, bar none excepting Barack Obama.

This is why Bill Clinton could remark his true confessive thoughts of Barack's campaign as a fairy tale. A neverwill happen. A moot point. Because the good old boys of the Dark Society of the Skull & Crossbones discriminates.

How blessed can we get, with Barack.!

Judge in Jena 6 case again closes records, will appeal order that opened Mychal Bell hearing

By MARY FOSTER , Associated Press
Last update: December 7, 2007 - 11:48 PM


A week after one of the so-called Jena Six defendants pleaded guilty to second-degree battery in the beating of a white schoolmate, the judge in the case said the records will remain closed, pending an appeal.

Judge J.P. Mauffray Jr. will appeal to the state 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal an order that opened the hearing and records in Mychal Bell's case.

"In the interim, we have advised the clerk and his staff that the judgment is not yet final, and that they should not permit access to the record in the two Mychal Bell proceedings, nor any other juvenile proceeding," Donald R. Wilson, Mauffray's attorney, wrote on Thursday.

State District Judge Thomas Yeager's order to open all proceedings and records concerning Bell is not yet final, said Dan Zimmerman, who represents The Associated Press and 24 other media organizations that sued.

"There's not much we can do at this minute," Zimmerman said. "We'll just have to wait until it gets to the appeals court."

Bell, 17, was sentenced to 18 months in a juvenile facility on Dec. 3. He was given credit for the 10 months he had already served.

Bell was charged with taking part in an attack last December on Justin Barker, a white student at Jena High School. Barker spent several hours in the emergency room after the attack, but was discharged and attended a school event later in the day.

Barker and his parents filed a civil suit this week against the LaSalle Parish School Board, the parents of the young men accused of beating him, and the adult members of the Jena Six.

Bell originally was charged as an adult with attempted murder. That charge was reduced before a jury convicted him in June of aggravated second-degree battery. In September that verdict was thrown out and Bell was ordered tried as a juvenile.

The charges against Bell and five others _ the so-called Jena Six _ sparked a huge civil-rights demonstration in Jena in September.

The activists said prosecutors treated blacks more harshly than whites, and pointed to an incident three months before the attack on Barker in which three other white teens were accused of hanging nooses from a tree at the high school. The three were suspended from school but never criminally charged; LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters has said there was no state crime to charge them with.

The AP and other news organizations went to court seeking permission to attend hearings in Bell's case, and to review transcripts of previous hearings and other court records in the central Louisiana case.

Ruston Man Who Claims Someone Put a Noose In His Work Locker is Arrested for Work Theft

(December - 4 - 2007)

RUSTON (TV8) - A Lincoln Parish man is being investigated for two separate incidents. Both alleged crimes happened while he was working at the Lowes in Ruston. TV8's Jennifer Townley reports.

25-year-old Jonathan McZeal was booked at the Lincoln Parish Jail Tuesday.

He turned himself into police custody after learning Ruston Police had a warrant out for his arrest.

McZeal works at Lowes in Ruston, where he's accused of stealing about 6-thousand dollars.

He's being charged with theft over 500-dollars for refund fraud.

Lieutenant Curtis Hawkins says, "he would either of somehow obtained a receipt or someone would bring a receipt in and he would either give the money back or take money out of the register and keep it himself, um, you know, something along those lines, where there was no merchandise turned back in to balance that out."

The alleged thefts happened between August Second and October 20th.

Meanwhile, Ruston Police are also investigating a claim McZeal made in November, just a few weeks after the last theft at Lowes took place.

McZeal told police he found a noose and a hate letter in his locker at work.

Hawkins says, "right now we're treating these as two separate cases. The noose complaint that was called in, the harassment, the threatening letter that was called in was one case. During the course of that Lowes said hey this guy, we're going to contact you and they contacted us about the internal theft complaint that was going on there at Lowes. It just happened to be the same guy. We don't know if there's any type of connection or thing like that."

If police find that McZeal filed a false police report about the noose to cover up the alleged theft he could be charged with criminal mischief.

Hawkins says police are following leads on the noose incident.

Criminal mischief is considered a misdemeanor offense.
Jonathan McZeal is 25 years of age.

Congressman Conyers?! The Bishop says, the rule of justice in america is to deprive the poor & black of their rights as much as possible. The rule of justice for the poor & the black and all people of color, should be to 'bang the walls' of injustice until they crash and come tumbling down like humpty dumpty!

Judge J P Mauffray and his partners in crime are in contempt of court, a court presided over by an adhoc judge appointed by the LOUISIANA STATE SUPREME COURT! It should by "Krystal" clear now that the JUDICIARY COMMISSION & the LOUISIANA ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY BOARD should step in and do its job.

A hearing should be now held, on the judicial malfeasance & prosecutorial "indiscretions" which have emanated from the 28th Judicial District. Mauffray, in contempt of Court; will the Judidciary Commission, put the blind fold on like the lady, holding the unbalanced scales of justice in Louisiana.

The coercive matters at hand, should require another round of subpeona-ed Court officials; including the Court Administrator, the Clerk of Court; his assistant(s) the Criminal Clerk of Court, the Civil Clerk of Court [in reference to the Barker family suit & possible manipulative malfeasance in office] plus, the defense attorneys for Mychal Bell, Louis G. Scott, Bob Noel, Peggy Sullivan & *Carol Powell-Lexing.

Such a subpeona should also include *Sister Krystal Muhammad, Regional Director of the New Black Panther Party in New Orleans. The alledged Thursday 29 November filing of the civil suit at 11:56am & the ensuing pending court case of December 6th 2007, of which case; certain attorney(s) were still working towards a December 6th Trial.

Now, all proceedings concerning the Mychal Bell case and plea, & consequently the other Jena Six defendants, should be enjoined by a higher court, possibly at the federal level; from pursuing any further action until a "FINDING OF FEDERAL FACT can be garnered.

Again, we call on President George W. Bush, to issue an executive order, demanding a full & thorough investigation of the matters concerning the 28th Judical Court District & Jena,Louisiana!


Bell's records closed while ruling appealed
Staff and AP reports

An appeal is being filed to challenge the opening of criminal records of "Jena Six" defendant Mychal Bell.

Meanwhile, LaSalle Parish officials aren't releasing those records and already have rejected a media request for them.

An order by 9th District Judge Thomas Yeager of Rapides Parish to open all proceedings and records concerning Bell is not yet final, said Dan Zimmerman, who represents The Town Talk, The Associated Press and 23 other media organizations that sued. |then|

Access to Mychal Bell's court records denied
Staff report • news@thenewsstar.com • September 26, 2009
|now|
The Louisiana Supreme Court, by a 5-2 vote, denied a writ application Friday by a group of media agencies, including The News-Star, for access to court records and transcripts in the case of Mychal Bell, a member of the "Jena Six."

The ruling leaves intact a June decision by the state 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal that said a trial court had "erred in ordering that the transcripts of all hearings held, or to be held, in this juvenile's case be made available to the public, and, in ordering that, following an in camera inspection, the juvenile's record be open to the public."
Bell was first charged as an adult in the case of six black males accused of beating a white classmate at Jena High School, but his case eventually moved to juvenile court. Media organizations filed a civil lawsuit last year, arguing that those records should be open.
A state appeals court in April reversed a ruling that would have allowed the public to see transcripts of all hearings in the case of the only Jena Six defendant to be tried so far.
A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that because Bell's case is in juvenile court, all records are private — even those of hearings that should have been open to the public. The media are asking the Supreme Court to overturn that ruling.
Bell was convicted in 2007 as an adult on a charge of second-degree battery in the December 2006 attack on another student at Jena High, but the Third Circuit overturned that verdict, saying he should have been tried as a juvenile.
Juvenile proceedings for felonies or violent crimes must be open to the public under Louisiana law, the Third Circuit ruled.
Both sides in the case agree that Bell's case was a violent felony, it said, and Judge J.P. Mauffray Jr. should have opened the hearings.
However, the judges ruled, there is no requirement for a juvenile's record or transcripts to be open.
It overturned 9th Judicial District Judge Thomas Yeager's ruling that the transcripts should be public because the hearings should have been.

The Bottom Line:In the Final Analysis

In the final Analysis we have a very untenable situation in America and Louisiana in particular. If someone doesn't truly step-up to the plate; and let's deal with the facts as they are, we are going to be sorrowfully surprised. I mean truly; beyond the rhetoric & the dogma. Beyond personal opinion and offense, beyond our own personal agenda, beyond our own personal upsetness. Hell, I'm upset with a lot of things, but that don'y get 'em fixed. Folks need stuff filed in court. Crazy stuff filed. This ain't the 50's, this is the millenium, and we're in a count down to the hand of God's destruction! Yeah, you might not like it, but that is what is going on. We, the people, must stand together!! Stop the Crapola.

The opposition loves to see us clowning, the opposition thrives on seeing us indecisive.


Attorneys file more motions to open Bell hearing, data
Town Talk staff

The attorneys for several media agencies, including The Town Talk, fighting to have Mychal Bell's juvenile hearing open to the public are filing additional petitions after Monday's filings were questioned by the court.

According to a release from Dan Zimmerman at the New Orleans law firm Phelps Dunbar LLP, the Petition to Intervene in Bell's juvenile proceedings, the court was uncertain whether outside parties could intervene in juvenile matters.

"We believe the law does authorize such intervention, but rather than spending time fighting a tangential battle, we opted to file the attached Petition for Writ of Mandamus and/or Injunction to Open Court Proceedings, to Unseal Court Record and to Lift Gag Order (with related orders), and the Memorandum in Support of the Petition, which we have now fax-filed with the 28th Judicial District court clerk in Jena," Zimmerman wrote in the release.

Those petitions would have the same outcome as those filed earlier this week, he said.
The attorneys have also asked that another judge be appointed to rule on the petitions as 28th Judicial District Court Judge J.P. Mauffray is one of the defendants, along with LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court Steve Crooks.

Zimmerman said another judge should be appointed as "we do not believe that a judge should be called upon to mandamus himself."

If successful with the petitions, the media will have access to all court proceedings in the Bell case, to the court record and to transcripts of prior hearings that were closed to the press and public, he said. And the gag order on the trial participants will be lifted.

The hearing is set for Nov. 2.

Is it possible to have not only a New South but also a New America.


The Six's parents are catching it. Can you really bury the past?

As the black students were being tormented with racial epithets, a group of boys suddenly turned and, went off. It may have not been the right response, but certainly the racially derogatory words were not appropriate either, coming from the lips of Justin Barker & others on that fateful day in December 2006. This day, is a day, which will live on in infamy in the minds of true Americans.

A Day that set the tone for the incorrigible society in which we live to be exposed, fully. We must repent; all of us, young and old, for our violent past. Stop the video games, the television programs, the movies and all such purveyance of violence as the rule of the day! So that means we must then STOP THE WAR.

There were at least 10 to 15 boys, involved in the melee at Jena High School. All things considered, whose foot actually inflicted the unconciounable blow! And why wasn't Justin Barker, dealt with appropriately about the firearm on Campus?
UNEQUAL JUSTICE!
What were the Fair Barn fighters charged with? UNEQUAL JUSTICE!

The public display of a weapon or brandishing a weapon, at the Gotta Go - Store!
UNEQUAL JUSTICE.

The teachers stating [in the initial situation] they wouldn't teach if the 6 were allowed back in school. And to this day, that theory is in existence as evidenced by the Judges own words.
Its unequal justice in education, when tax dollars are utilized to prostitute black boys athletic abilities to their own detriment, for the greater good of the school. All the while, the "system" [coaches, principals, assistant d a's & so forth] allow tendencies toward violence to to pervade unchecked, as long as the athlete performs.

That's called systematic racism & is capitalism at its best. Capitalism=extract the goods at any cost, reap the benefit no matter who gets hurt.

Its UNEQUAL JUSTICE, when the judicial system, try you as an adult; and deny you the Constitutional Right to an [un] excessive bond, on [sealed] juvenile charges, most likely, presumably for the greater good in their minds; why, because the person is a detriment or danger to society.

Well, it is now eight months hence, the legal authority that handles the indivdual in question; whose custody he's in, admits, submits and says, the boy has been affected by the now eight months of incarceration and is well changed. Not the same!
Well on the way to Rehabilitation!

'Jena Six' defendant's criminal history comes to light; bond denied
By Abbey Brown
abrown@thetowntalk.com
(318) 487-6387


JENA — In addition to Mychal Bell’s recent felony conviction, his criminal history was revealed today to include four other violent crimes.

Because of that, a LaSalle Parish judge denied the 17-year-old bond in his current scrape with the law.

Bell was convicted in June of aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit that crime for his part in a Dec. 4 incident at Jena High School that left fellow student Justin Barker unconscious.

Bell is one of six black students, known as the “Jena Six,” who have been charged in connection with the attack on Barker, who is white.

According to court documents, someone hit Barker from behind, knocking him out, and then others began to kick and stomp his “lifeless” body. He spent about three hours in a local emergency room for treatment of injuries to his head and face.

Three months prior to that attack, Bell committed two violent crimes while on probation for a Christmas Day battery in 2005, according to testimony. Later that same week, he led the Jena Giants to a shutout victory in a football game against the Buckeye Panthers.

Bell was adjudicated – the juvenile equivalent to a conviction – of battery on Sept. 2 and criminal damage to property on Sept. 3, said Cynthia Bradford, LaSalle Parish deputy clerk.

A few days later, on Sept. 8, Bell rushed 12 times for 108 yards and scored three touchdowns – one of the best performances of the year for the standout athlete.

Mack Fowler, Jena High’s football coach at the time, said Friday he hadn’t heard about Bell’s specific criminal history.

“That’s the first I’ve heard of these,” Fowler said of the September incidents. “And in a small town like this, you would think I would have heard about it.”

Fowler said that at one point he had a policy in place more severe than the school’s when it came to students with discipline problems. But he said he discovered that while he was punishing his players, the school “wasn’t doing anything” to them.

Fowler said he decided then that he was going to do the same thing the school did – nothing.

The issue of bail
According to Louisiana code, “bail may be allowed” after conviction but before sentencing if the maximum sentence is more than five years’ imprisonment. Bell faces as many as 22½ years.

The code gives an exception of “when the court has reason to believe, based on competent evidence, that the release of the person convicted will pose a danger to any other person or the community.”

LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters pointed out that Bell was placed on probation until his 18th birthday – Jan. 18, 2008 – after an incident of battery on Dec. 25, 2005. After being placed on probation, he was adjudicated of three other crimes, the two in September and another charge of criminal damage to property that occurred on July 25, 2006.

“Mr. Bell has proven he doesn’t deserve bail,” Walters said. “The state suggests that bail should not be allowed.”

Bell’s defense attorney, Louis Scott, pointed out that Bell’s father, Marcus Jones, and a number of area ministers have pledged their support to Bell to keep him on the right path.

Jones testified that he already had scheduled an interview for his son at Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Alexandria to see if Bell could attend there if released on bond. Jones testified that he didn’t move back to Jena until February – after all of the incidents involving his son – but that he was committed to staying here to exercise greater supervision over Bell.

Jones said he had been living in Dallas for the past seven years.

Judge J.P. Mauffray Jr., with the 28th Judicial District Court, went over the factors in Louisiana code used to determine bail, pointing out specifics in Bell’s case:

-- The seriousness of the offense: “It is a serious offense because it is a crime of violence,” he said.

-- The weight of the evidence against the defendant: Mauffray said it was “pretty weighty” considering the jury convicted Bell.

-- The previous criminal record of the defendant: He said a criminal record was obviously present considering that Bell had been adjudicated on three offenses that were committed while he was on probation and then convicted this year in adult court.

-- The nature and seriousness of the danger to any other person or the community that would be posed by the defendant’s release: Again, Mauffray pointed out that Bell now has either been adjudicated or convicted of five crimes of violence.
uWhether the defendant is currently out on bond on a previous felony arrest: He cited Bell’s presence on probation and the fact that there were three other cases – not including the case Bell is currently in jail for – awaiting disposition.

“Past behavior is the best prediction of future behavior,” Mauffray said.

Melissa Bell, Mychal’s mother, grabbed her son’s hand, squeezing hard and began to cry when court was dismissed. With denial of bail, Bell will remain behind bars until the completion of his still-undetermined sentence. He has been behind bars since his December arrest.

A motion hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4. Bell’s attorneys are hoping their client’s adult conviction will be voided and the case remanded to juvenile court. If that motion is denied, attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial based on insufficient defense counsel for Bell among other things.

Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 20.

Mychal Bell left Hanging

But Help was on the Way

dateline
August 7, 2007 - September 4th Court Date to consider Motions!!
Motions filed by Mychal Bell's Attorney Louis Scott; could result in the ending of the court battle concerning the Jena Six.

They tried to leave him hanging anyway. The entire little crew. The folks in charge of the system, both the Blacks and the Whites. Here we have the ACLU state person in Jena, Louisiana; attempting to tell the six parents how to handle the defense committee funds, put there for their children; held captive by this unjust politicised-judicial system. What the Jena 6's parents failed to realize, it is impossible to pacify the powers that be and get freedom at the same time.

Here you have organizations of white folks talking about; send us money, we're the ones who developed the grassroots effort in Jena, Louisiana. Here, you have a, so; subtily, subversive, tactic that the local NAACP branch president ALLEDGEDLY blew the state Vice President off because the Louisiana State Conference of the National Association of Colored People, didn't move fast enough. All the while a so-called civil liberties group, ostracizing a black baptist pastor for inviting the Jena Six Defense Committee folk to attend the Church service at least once, as a matter of respect.

Plus, a few weeks ago, Bill Quigley purportedly sent by Tory Pegram, through [she said] state Senator Charles D. Jones; to file motions to fire indigent defender Blane Williams, among other motions; and yet, no certificate of service was filed, meaning the opposing attorneys; the D. A. & Blane Williams weren't notified; rendering the motions of none effect. All the while, Bill Quigley the accomplished civil rights attorney, leaves the country for three weeks. And his second in command, Ms. Fernandez; whom his voicemail said was the next contact person had left the country also, leaving only an administrative assistant to handle the matters at hand.

Needless to say no satisfaction was obtained in the Bill Quigley Fiasco.

In the meantime, up pops Blane Williams and accosted the boy Mychal Bell at LaSalle Correctional Center, and told him; "You can't fire me", as if to further intimidate and threaten a young black boy locked down in a state-side repressive prison system.

And now, today, 30 July 2007, the subversion by the system is still in place. The effects of a systematic approach to dis-embow any black move owned by black folks: the ACLU's Tory Pegram along with King Downing' will attempt to further destroy any semblance of a unified black front.

Convicted Jena student gets beefed up appellate team
July 30, 2007

The Associated Press

MONROE — A group of Monroe defense lawyers has taken on the appeal of a black high school student convicted last month of beating a white student in Jena.

The lawyers will take up the case of Mychal Bell, one of six black high school students known as the Jena six.

Louis Scott, one of the Monroe lawyers, said Bell’s case and trial were fraught with errors.

“Almost always when you have an unfair result, somewhere down the line you had an unfair process,” Scott said.

A six-person, all-white jury found Bell, 17, guilty of second-degree aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit second-degree aggravated battery on June 28 for the Dec. 4 assault on Justin Barker.

Bell had been charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit attempted second-degree murder, but prosecutors reduced the charges.

The other five defendants are Theo Shaw, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis and an unnamed juvenile. They are still facing the more serious charges.

Scott said had Bell been charged with battery in the beginning the case never would have been transferred from the juvenile system.

“The juvenile court system was designed to handle such things as school fights and problems and differences that arise in the school system,” Scott said. “It’s based on the realization that many times immature people take immature actions or react in immature ways.”

He also said the trial should have been moved away from Jena because of pretrial publicity.

Bell is scheduled for sentencing in September. JFAL

So, all the while; the help was on the way! And it is still on the Way. More help. Dr. King kinda help, black & white TOGETHER!! And with no shenanigans.hlr

NAACP Issues Emergency National Resolution on Jena Six

In Its Detroit,Michigan national meeting the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People [NAACP], promulgated an Emergency National Resolution in the case of the Jena Six Trials, of six black students in Jena, Louisiana. The Regional six State Conferences also issued a Resolution in the Jena Situation.

The National Resolution signed, by Chairman Julian Bond and Interim President Dennis Courtland Hayes, demand an immediate United States Department of Justice investigation into the high bond incarcerations, the charges and the recent suspect trial and conviction of Mychal Bell, who is scheduled for sentencing July 31, 2007.

In other developments:
Concerning Reed Walters. It has been learned that the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled against LaSalle Parish D. A. J. Reed Walters in a suit involving use of his office as a prosecutor inferrring he misused the prosecutorial discretionary authority of his office.

The Resolution from the National Office also states that it would be impossible not to take a stand against the present legal actions in LaSalle Courts, to do so would set a national precedent for such incidents to occur in other courts in the nation's cities. This recognises the Jena Six trials as a significant major occurence in th nation's history. It has also been decided that Harvard Law students will be deployed to assist attorneys with their work. The NAACP will request each defendant's attorney response to the Law Students participation in the trials and legal proceedings. Pertinent Supreme Court Case "State Of Louisiana v. Jason Helou"

Mass Movement Against Wrongful Convictions:Initiated through-Jena Six!

Mychal Bell's father Marcus Jones leaves the LaSalle Parish Courthouse after his son's Conviction!Thursday June 28th 2007





The Jena Six can breathe a sigh of relief, The Reverend Al Sharpton and the New York city based National Action Network is coming to Jena, Louisiana. Just a few moments ago, Rev. Al, interviewing, Marcus Jones on Sharptontalk.net announced that he and his organization is coming to Louisiana. Sharpton was shocked absolutely, at what has occurred in Jena, Louisiana.

Sharpton, asked if there had been any appeals yet, and Jones said; they were seeking for an attorney now to help in the situation. Rev. Al, said as soon as the attorneys' offices open tomorrow, the attorney would be contacted. He [Sharpton] also, on the air stated, the National Action Network would help with defraying attorney costs.

Rev. Sharpton, told Mr. Jones, that he would be obtaining attorney aid, for Mychal Bell, in response to an appeal Jones made stating that his son needs an attorney.

Mr. Jones, brought out about the lack of defense by the court-appointed lawyer. He also brought out, the defense attorney had placed he and Mychal Bell's mother, Melissa Bell on the witness list, which Judge J. P. Mauffray of the 28th Judicial District enforced a gag order, baring the mother and father of Mychal Bell from the court room; they were never called as witnesses.

The Rev. Raymond Brown Chapter Chairman of the New Orleans Branch of the National Action Network, also took part in the interview, and announced a "mass gathering of national proportions" in Jena. Lafayette activist Khadijah Rashad, spoke also of how individuals were tear gassed after a rally on Friday June 29th, after the latest rally in Jena. She stated a plane flew over and gassed people after the rally. Rashad also cited about the, New Iberia incident where citizens were teargassed last autumn by law enforcement.

We should understand that those in charge of the Judicial process in Louisiana are as much responsible for this travesty as any; especially DA Reed Walters, Judge Mauffray. Blane Williams is a pawn in this injustice. Ultimately, all of these individuals are subject to the Louisiana Supreme Court's various entities. We should understand that lawyers are dis-barred by the La. Supreme Court. Judges are investigated by the La. Supreme Court's Judiciary Commission. - - Would it not be the Louisiana Attorney General's duty to deal with a prosecutor's & District Attorneys.
Bell's parents
So, the Mass Movement Against Wrongful Convictions has begun. Others in Louisiana, such as Michael Jarvis Cobb are caught up in this web of judicatory prowess against the poor and blacks specifically. Now, that national attention has focused on the Louisiana Justice System, it is time to bring to task to the full, the mechanisms that destroy us, in this judicial process. Cobb was convicted of rapes of three white women and sentenced to 349 years in February 2005. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Baton Rouge denied Cobbs appeal June 26th 2006. The Louisiana Supreme Court refused to hear a writ earlier this year. Cobb is a prisoner in Angola State Prison. There was not a DNA match. Cobb confessed, under duress. That family has continued to secure his release. The "Jena Six" Trials, have given new life to the push against Wrongful Convictions in Louisiana and America.

For the families of persons with similar occurences of like manner, this is the time to come together. We have asked for a convening in Jena, Louisiana to deal with these issues in Louisiana. The boys of Jena are; Mychal Bell, Bryant Purvis, Carwin Jones, Theodore Shaw and the "so-called" un-named juvenile; plus another black 18 year old only charged with the shotgun incident at the Gotta Go Convenience store. Mychal Bell's sentencing is scheduled for July 31st. It's in the peoples' hands now! hlr
