Al Sharpton Calls 18-Month Sentence For Mychal Bell "Cruel And Unusual Punishment"

[roxy-83]

Why can''t people look at the crime instead of the color. The Jena 6 were wrong.Why is that so hard for some people to understand..? Mychal is back in jail because he viloated his probation. those kids that hung the nooses were also wrong and also deserved a more than suspension.There are consequences for your actions, no what race you are. Being a certain color or race shouldn''t give you a harsher punishment or a lighter one either.Just my opinion.

Yeah sure...kind of like this thug and his efforts to "calm things down" that got this whole thing started. Shut up moron. This thug belongs in jail.

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you look at the above picture of Mychal Bell he looks like a clean cut young man and he does not dress like a thug or look like a thug at all. I know a thug when I see one and Mychal Bell is no thug. What is really going on here is that Mychal Bell has probably taken matters in his own hands instead of letting the system handle things for him and over time has gotten himself in a lot of trouble and accumulated a bad history and Police record in the process. There are thousands of Mychal Bells from every culture across out nation, good kids who made bad choices and decisions. While its true you can not judge a book by its cover, in this case I can, this guy is no thug, I know a thug when I see one!

jolie_gal you are "TOO" deep for most of these people you''re referencing, and you are "1000 PERCENT" CORRECT.

Black thugs, white thugs, Arab thugs, Asian thugs, etc. I detest them all, I too find it hilarious that a majority of white folks have this malignant narcissistic collective consciousness where they have the "nerve" to stand in pontification over others castigating and criticizing as though they are "free" of slander, maliciousness, licentiousness, violence, barbarianism, criminality, etc..

Nothing disgust me more than malignant narcissistic white folks and "black Judases" both are identical in unsympathetic apathy towards others, and both are equally parasitic.

Yea sure, what the Barker did was nothing because he just spread terror but he didn''t beat nobody. I''ll say...send these Jena 6 to juvenile facility, but send this Barker kid to Guantanamo Bay. Because he is not so much different than them. After all, many of them are not even convicted, so why do we need the actual physical harm by this kid? Terror is terror, whether the one doing it Arabs or Caucasians. Oh, but of course...it was just a prank, he was JUST an idiot. This part really iritates me. To see white people just open their mouth, insulting others, and hide behind the fact "oh, I don''t actually touch him physically". You don''t care that you are racist??? GOOD. I don''t care either, I''m more than happy to leave you alone in your own ignorance. BUT KEEP THAT RACIST OPINION TO YOURSELF. Because once you open your mouth, don''t act surprise that your lips are swollen. Calling people apes, Geez...Need I remind you that thousand years ago the black ancestors already had culture, while your ancestors were the ones living in caves? I still don''t get why some white people think they are better than other races

[jolie_gal]

Man, so many of you are so ignorant and you should be ashamed of yourself. Frankly, I''m getting fed up with the higher-than-thou attitude of some white people here. And the same goes to those who called them crackers.

Let''s make it clear here. Thugs are thugs, and it''s not exclusively blacks domain. I''ve seen white thugs drinking and driving, in a country where alcohol is prohibited, and when stopped by the police, shouting "I''m American!". I''ve seen white thugs snorting cocaine. I''ve seen white women have three babies from three different men. And you still want to believe that the whites are so great just because they are white-skinned and blacks are thugs because they are dark-skinned????? PLEASE, GET OVER YOURSELF.

Bringing up O.J in the context of his skin-color is ridiculous. I''m not saying he is innocent. GUILTY is written on his forehead. But it''s not a valid argument to support your condemnation of the whole race. Because let''s be frank...what happened with O.J is EVERYTHING to do with your own judicial system. People with money can buy their tickets out of jails. Need I remind you of white celebrity thugs who wiggle their ways out of justice??? So pointing your finger to O.J''s race is LAUGHABLE. It just shows how provincial and ignorant you are. Some black thugs do drive-by on the street, you white thugs do drive-by on the university. Different colors, same results.

The kids who hung the noose, should have gotten a harsher punishment. Period. The kids who beat that other kid up, should have gotten a harsher punishment. Period. Leave the freaking race card out of it, regardless. They''re people, they made the wrong choice, they need to pay for it. NO MATTER WHAT COLOR THEIR SKIN IS!

''Key Figure In Jena 6 Case Back In Jail''

Guess this means Sharpie Sharpton and Action Jackson will be back in Jena. They were probably just getting the stench out from their last visit.

[gheemaster38]

Okay I get it now.. Yes, this country is geared up for a civil War but it wont be black vs white.. It will be clique vs clique. black, white Hispanics and others & Asians fighting side by side against black, white Hispanics & Asians and others. No solid boundaries....

[krenz4]

And you dont consider crackers in louisiana hanging a noose from a tree a threat? (insert sarcasm here)Neither did the Klan!

[krenz4]

I guess I didnt know that white boys get girl after girl pregnant and dont take care of them.(my bad) I aslo didnt know that white folks dont sell crack, (my bad again). I also didnt realize that the white parental structure has not broken down, white people dont quit school (and need to make money) And I really didnt know that all white men are accountable for their actions, whew, I just needed an *** racist, bigoted, ignorant azz like supercheez to school me. Golly Cheez, you must be the grand wizard!

[msniki32]

You can say things about men you do not know, Rev. Al Sharpton has done alot people of different color but yes, he may have the right to speak up for blacks, and there is nothing wrong with that; but the sad thing is that you see that theses young men deserve to be treated with harsh punishment but yet the young men that hung the noose should have just gotten off with a small suspension!! A man said earlier today that this world is geared up for a Civil War and if we as people keep turning our head and not looking into racism and trying better to educate, then we will have a Civil War; people that seems to think that the march in Jena was too much instead of the start of finally people saying enough is enough stop all this hate....we can never judge anyone but we should try to do the right thing, and whether people see it or not will always be the outcome of hatred. We were right to march in Jena, and if people still think that it caused trouble then we did something right!!
That''s how I see things; keep this in your hearts: May God be with you in all you do, for peace be still.

[dylanxxv]

Oh BOO-HOO Cry me a friggin river...The thug was on probation for a previous violent crime...He belongs in prison...
When your on probation you know full well that if you break the law again you can be sent to prison...They can send you to prison if all you did was get a speeding ticket while on probation...This thug attacked another person and did bodily harm...He should get a free ticket outta jail because Al notsosharpton speaks his racial c r a p?
Grow some balls and do your time...

[fedupone]

I am not sure I understand this whole thing...here is a kid with 4 criminal acts...that broke the law...the three previous crimes were not race related...the fourth was...but, should be thrown out? Only because Jesse and Al say so...things are tough on this family not because of color but, because of their son...His dad stated he is in and out jail again and again...try parenting...This kid is bound for prison and not because of his but, his actions...he thinks he is untouchable now...Well I guess he is not...

[gheemaster38]

Correct me if I am wrong, the gentleman is out on bond for this beating he gave a caucasion person. The Judge decides to say he violated his bond for another incident he did Prior to the beating of the Caucasion student, Am I missing something or is something wrong with this picture? Either the judge is an a**hole or have serious issues in his head.. How many cases has bond violation occurred been made retroactive? Given this I think the Judge should be investigated for Prior judgements. He may not be fit for the bench. If this is allowed in American law, then this country has already went to Hell in a Handbasket!!!

[hwy71so]

are they going to tear down the bleechers?

Justice, at last. Such animals must be jailed.

[klingon69]

klingon, you conveniently forget that he also threatened the black kids with a gun?
Posted by krenz4 at 12:56 PM : Oct 12, 2007
No, I didn''t forget the gun, actually I believe there were two instances that a gun was involved, one was the convenience store and I don''t think a name was ever given for that person, and the other was Barker bring a gun to school after the beating. I ask again, had there been threats either stated or implied that may have made him fear for his life and safety, remember this was after the beating?

[klingon69]

So what do you think they should have done to Barker? Nothing?
Which is absolutely what they did. That is not right!!
Posted by Hello252 at 11:48 AM : Oct 12, 2007
I agree it isn''t right, however, other than the taunts, what did he do to provoke the severe beating he received? Remember the gun at school incident happened after the beating.

[lucy-in-tx]

Barker and three friends hung a noose in a tree at school. Not a crime, just stupidity, but that is not a crime in itself, but they were suspended from school as punishment.

Then Bell and FIVE friends attacked and beat Barker for hanging the noose. Ok... then what? So they should just walk free after physically attacking Barker??

But... Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson came around and stired it up and made things worse, as usual, and are all up in arms because of the punishment earned by Bell and friends. What do they expect, NO punishment at all for Bell and friends?

If the shades of the skin of Bell and Barker were reversed, would Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson come around or even care? NO. NOT THEN, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

And both of these men say they are not racist and Jesse Jackson just wants equality for ALL??

Hmm... think again on THAT one.
