Jena 6

Five of the Jena Six have been sentenced to seven days probation.

They are expected to pay court costs plus a $500 fine each.

This comes after pleading no contest to misdemeanor simple battery (a far less charge than the original attempted murder charge they faced in 2006).

I won’t complain that it took too long for this case to be resolved. Instead I’m happy that its come to a close and I wish peace, love, wisdom, and understanding to the entire Jena community. Everything happens for a reason, perhaps Jena 6 served a far greater purpose…

Just a year ago hundreds of thousands marched in Jena Louisiana to protest the hanging of nooses and to demand justice for the Jena Six. Now do you remember Jena?

While the Jena 6 wait to find out if Judge J.P. Mauffray JR will be recused from the case, Mychal Bell is also waiting on a decision to determine whether or not he will be allowed to play high school football with the team he’s been practicing with all spring.

Call me crazy but… it just seems to me that if Mychal Bell is eligible to return to school and he meets the basic requirements to even be on the football team, then LHSAA should let him play. What is the problem?
