Mychal Bell Doesn't Deserve Anyone's Sympathy


Mychal Bell, the most well-known of the "Jena 6", has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. He'll get an 18 month sentence to a juvenile facility and receive credit for time served. He will serve about 8 more months before being released.

Bell's attorneys said they agreed to the plea bargain to spare the former high school football star the danger of being convicted of more serious charges and also to win early release from juvenile custody.

In October, Mauffray sentenced Bell to 18 months in a juvenile facility for four prior juvenile convictions for battery and destruction of property. But under the terms of Monday's plea agreement, that time will be served concurrently with the new 18-month sentence for the Dec. 4 attack, and Bell will get credit for the nine months he spent in jail while awaiting trial. His attorneys said he could be released by June.

Mychal Bell is no hero, far from it. But liberals will have you believe that Bell is a hero because for once, he got an unfair shake from a criminal justice system he was already well familiar with. That's right, while liberals (like mice being led by Pied Pipers named Al and Jesse), marched up-and-down through Louisiana back in September for the now notorious "Jena 6", they righteously ignored that fact that Mychal Bell participated in the beat-down of a white teenager who had absolutely nothing the "noose hanging" incident that ignited the whole "Jena 6" celebre to begin with. A beatdown of an innocent victim that wasn't provoked by any sense of moral retribution, but pure anger and utter revenge. And for one of its participants, it wasn't the first time they were involved in a violent act. In fact, Mychal Bell was already on probation for a prior arrest even before he attacked Justin Barker. In addition, he had already violated his probation with three other arrests. Rumor has it that Bell beat an ex-girlfriend so badly once that her eye became dislocated from its socket (how ironic in that Barker was blinded in one eye for 3 weeks after he caught a Bell beatdown).

The fact is that since he was already a convicted felon, Mychal Bell deserved to be prosecuted and should've gotten a lengthy sentence for beating up Barker. As what's been lost in liberal outrage at Mychal Bell's original sentence is that Bell was already a young man prone to violence quickly heading down a road in which he'll either end up dead or in and out of jail for the rest of his life if he doesn't look in the mirror and take responsibility for his life. Indeed, while the Jena Six case has been both edgy and controversial, it has put a much-needed face on the troubling racial bias in the criminal justice system, particularly in the South. But Mychal Bell should not be its poster boy, because to do so sets a dangerous precedent in putting a man on a pedestal he has no interest in being on or deserve to be anywhere close to.

Black Liberals Look Stupid Marching For Jena 6


From ABCNews:

Thousands of demonstrators have filled the streets of a small Louisiana town for a protest that has been likened to the marches of the US civil rights movement decades ago.

They are supporting six African American high school students who were charged with beating a white classmate, after nooses were hung from a tree in the local schoolyard.

For many in America, the Jena six case has attained the status of a modern-day version of the events that punctuated the US civil rights movement.

Black-clad demonstrators from across the country have filled the small town of Jena in Louisiana, almost outnumbering the 3,000 people who live there.

Civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson are there too.

"In every state, more blacks [are] in jail than college," he said.

"In every state, there's a Jena everywhere."

Hanging nooses in a tree is stupid, ignorant and racist, but I don't weigh hanging nooses in a tree on the same scale as beating the crap out of somebody because he allegedly said something some people didn't like. There is no comparison. Certainly the punks responsible for the nooses should be punished (by the school and by their parents). Yet, the now notorious "Jena 6" clowns (who've all had their charges dropped to battery) savagely beat someone and that's supposed to be OK? Meanwhile, a black girl by the name of Megan Williams still lies in a hospital in West Virginia after recently being held captive for days by 6 white scumbags who allegedly beat, sexually assaulted and stabbed her repeatedly while using racial slurs as they did so. According to Megan's mother (and a criminal complaint filed in Virginia's magistrate court) her daughter was also forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from a toilet.

Since black liberals love to protect so much wouldn't their street walking and chants be better spent on Megan Williams than the Jena 6?

Whether it's OJ Simpson or Tookie Smith or the Black prostitute who falsely cried rape in the Duke lacrosse case or these clowns in Jena, Louisiana, black liberals continue to look like fools protesting to save criminals from the consequences of their actions. And with race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson still at the forefront, the need for new black leadership continues to grow with each passing day.
