Reed: The only way and let me stress that, the only way that I believe that me, or this community has been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in this community. (loud applause) I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened. You can quote me on that!

There was a "press conference" today with the Jena 6 prosecutor DA Reed Walters. Or there was supposed to be a press conference but instead Walters played host for a gathering which sounded more like a revivalist tent meeting. ,While reporters noted they had never before been allowed to bring cameras into the courtroom, Walters had quite a show set up complete with about 60 local residents - described as "white supporters of the DA" on CNN who broke into applause when he appeared. I guess they had loved his performance back in 2006 when Black students protested the hanging of nooses in the "white tree." Then Walters arrived at the school with a group of police and warned the peaceful student protest that “I could end your lives with the stroke of a pen.” This is the same Walters who consistently claimed "This case is not and never has been about race" and who "credits the 'imaginations' of African-Americans for the heightened racial tensions around the case." Today, his words were less overtly threatening but the racist message was just as clear.

Walters talked a whole lot about Jesus - and not much about justice. He did make a special note that it was only through the "direct intervention of Jesus!" that last week's demonstrations were peaceful - a pretty outrageous claim when the demonstration was a peaceful and amazing gathering and participants even picked up the trash before heading out of town.

Walters wasn't much on answering press questions but he was asked - once again - why the white students who hung nooses in the "white tree" after black students asked the school's vice principal if they could sit under the tree too (they were told yes) but Walters shrugged this off saying there was no crimes involved that he could charge.

He was not asked why he did not charge the white area residents who beat up a black student at a party the weekend before the final incident nor why he charged a black student for an altercation outside a convenience store that weekend - but not the white resident (involved in the party attack the night before) who pulled a gun on the black student.

CNN actually did a pretty solid job of covering this so-called press conference today - the anchors were clearly more than a little startled by the tone and content. And they featured an interview with Pastor Shipley, a local minister who had tried to question Walters' claims. As he noted the DA was polarizing the situation once again, pitting "his jesus against ours" rather than seeking unity.

It's interesting to note that that bastion of liberal media (yeah sure) seems to see Walters as a worthy fellow. As Alan Bean wrote in "After ignoring Jena, NYTimes gives Reed Walters a pulpit."

The New York Times didn’t cover the Jena story until they were faced with a protest so big that they had to put it on the front page. But now, apparently they can find the space for this disingenuous screed from Reed Walters, the D.A. responsible for the Jena debacle.

Reed Walters complains that hanging nooses is no excuse to jump a white boy. But he conveniently leaves out his own shameful role in fanning the flames of racial unrest in Jena. He neglects to tell America how he also refused to protect Jena’s black youth from a series of attacks by white youth, in the days leading up to the attack on Justin Barker. He neglects to mention how a black youth was assaulted by a gang of white youth at a party, and how another white high school graduate threatened black youth with a shotgun outside a convenience store. This is the critical information we need to understand the attack on Justin Barker–it was the mirror image of a similar attack by white youth on a single, defenseless black youth that weekend. Except Reed Walters didn’t punish all the participants in that attack. Apparently some young people are worth more than others.

Update: Mervyn from Color of Change has just emailed that Myhal Bell is finally being released on bail. Keep an eye on Color of Change for more news and ways to support the Jena 6 campaign.

Great Intro!

Thanks Jesus!

I had nothing to do with that shit... I was on vacation, with Buddha.

Stupid f*ckers...

When there is no one to blame for your embarrassment it is time to blame and time to THANK JESUS!

isn't that a violation of the separation of Church and State? This DA should be disbarred...praise Jesus he should be disbarred

This country is about to head over the cliff. Honest to Christ. Right straight over the cliff.

He pronounces "Jena" like "Jesus"

AND he claps like a girl.

Why was he giving a press conference? To celebrate getting his ass kicked in the appellate court?

Oh, and was that Al Sharpton asking the question?

Another self serving sniveling deflection intensive spinner.

Get DOWN on your KNEES! Tell GOD ALMIGHTY that you are a SPINNER and BEG for FORGIVENESS!

as long as he's slumming with the tards .....wonder who Jesus sees in the World Series?..

Undying "Gratification". not just gratitude, but gratification, that man was EXTREMELY happy with those officers service.

Glad I don't have to do anything to help people any more. Sounds like Jesus has it handled.

If Dana Perino leaves this man may be on his way to Washington. He can lie like a rug and he has that down home flavor.

Oh good god... "The Lord Jesus Christ placed his influence on those people."

Guess the Lord Jesus Christ also influenced those kids that tied nooses to that tree.

Reed oughta go out to dinner with O'Reilly.

Maybe they can bring Imus along to say grace.

The D.A. needs to seek gratification in Senator Vitter's diapers, or Ben Stein's pants. I hope he takes a wide stance on this issue and ..............he .................then.............it.............oh well, sheesh. They can't out-holy Sen. Larry Craig when it cums to seeking undying gratification!

Who would Jesus hang?

It's really not too late to let the South seceed...

Baghdad Massacre?

From McClatchy:

As [Iraqi customs clerk Batoul] Hussein walked out of the customs building, an embassy convoy of sport-utility vehicles drove through the intersection. Blackwater security guards, charged with protecting the diplomats, yelled at construction workers at an unfinished building to move back. Instead, the workers threw rocks. The guards, witnesses said, responded with gunfire, spraying the intersection with bullets.

From an account of the Boston Massacre:

In the snowy winter of 1770, many residents of Boston harbored deep resentment against the presence of British military in their city. Two regiments of regulars had been quartered in Boston since September of 1768, when they had landed in response to a call by the Governor to restore order and respect for British law.

...the soldiers lined up--about a body length apart--in a sort of semi-circle facing the crowd that had grown to over three hundred. Many in the crowd threw missiles of various sorts--chunks of coal, snowballs, oyster shells, sticks--at the soldiers.

...Montgomery rose, shouting "Damn you, fire!" and unloading his musket in the direction of the crowd. Soon after --estimates varied from six seconds to two minutes--Montgomery shouted "Fire!", the other soldiers also began firing.

Of course, the British soldiers eventually faced charges.

Obviously, Reconstruction failed.

Well, at least one of the people present at the press conference recognized the stupidity of giving all the credit for a good thing to an imaginary friend, completely discounting the actual work by the actual people that made it happen.

And were acquitted. John Adams for the Defense.

Walters is your typical racist, they make inflammatory statements and then deny that they are being racist. It's an unconscious prejudice that they can't perceive in themselves. Much like the rabid anti-Semites who often pollute left wing blogs with their dogmatic "anti-Zionist" sentiment, steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the legitimate security and national claims of both sides of the issue and who shout "Zionazi" whenever a Jewish person does something they don't like. Focusing like a laser beam on someones ethnicity when they disagree with you and discounting out of hand any other motivation is racism. We saw a lot of this on the thread about Ahmadinijad speaking at Columbia U the other night. Let's combat racism and intolerance whenever it rears its ugly head, no matter who it is directed at.

Place your hands over your monitor and feel the warmth of my sincerity.

The DA and all in the state subordinate to the glory of JESUS?! Lol, well I guess we don't need the DA anymore, we don't need cops, lawyers, congresspeople, the president. We don't need the military, garbage collectors, scientists teachers etc etc God has it all under control.

Clearly with interventions like this we don't need to worry bout the coming recession or paying taxes or traffic tickets, we're gonna be raptured soon.

Uh,

What a moron ya got there for DA ...

Really these people hurt my head. He complains about the trauma endured. I'd say he's being honest there. Truth is like a very, very bright light. I'm sure it hurts.

Southern man

Don't forget
what your good book said

This country needs to be divided up into smaller countries. I read things like this and feel I am not the same nationality as these people. They are completely alien to me.

I'm betting that he knows he's now a nationally-broadcast laughingstock who won't have much career left, and he's angling for one of those sweetheart deals that Judge Roy Moore got. It seems like once an idiot Republican realizes they're about to get put out on their ass, they start going on TV and busting out the 700 Club routine about how we need more religious control over government.

When I meet Jesus, he's got a lot of explaining to do!

'''The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does a Westerner. Life is plentiful. Life is cheap in the Orient.'

Westmoreland said that in the Oscar-winning 1974 Vietnam documentary '''Hearts and Minds.'"

Keep these words in mind when you listen to this District Attorney discuss any aspect of this case, bearing in mind this is the same man who told the entire black student body that he could, "End your lives with the stroke of a pen."

Also keep it in mind when Bush starts babbling about Iran.

"...[and] Jesus wept."

This guy, David Duke, and Ted Haggard should get a room and talk this over. I'll bet they'll come to some Revelations. No pun intended.

This guy can't even hide his bigotry... Conyers is definately going to investigate his double standard Jim Crow justice down there... unbelievable!

I hope the justice dept takes a look at his pattern of racism... can't believe he charged a black kid with theft of firearm for taking a gun away from someone that was trying to kill him.. and allowed the gunwan to walk.... crazy bigot!!

I think we try, but i still disagree with Israel's policies.

Apparently, Jesus intervened to protect the whites. With up to 30,000 protesters, mostly blacks, Jesus had to do something. Give me a break!

Give JESUS a big hand for controlling all those blacks!

Anyone want to bet that Walters has used the term mud races more than a few times when talking to his friends and family.

Understand, Walters' Jesus is blond haired and blue eyed. He knows not what of which he speaks. Living in Indiana, a red state, I meet and work with plenty of people like that. They are motivated out of ignorance and fear.

Post American @ 6:

This country is about to head over the cliff. Honest to Christ. Right straight over the cliff.

I've managed to ignore MSM for the last weeks and honestly, I don't know what Jena 6 is, what it means and why the f**k I should personally care. No TV, No drama full of lies and tricks. Period. When you get to that point when TV is finally ignored completely, the more you hear about Jena 6, the more the fraud and media manipulation becomes apparent. Let me see, Nancy Grace is all over it, the story takes hours of coverage, way more than the Iraqi coverage during the same period, issues of race are debated for hours, you hear Sharpton, Jackson, while Clinton is going bye, bye and Barack starts studying “The Best of presidential F**k Ups” to see what the f**k he’s doing wrong this time, chapter 1. Kerry and Swift Boat monkies, chapter 2. Dean and why you should not scream and shut the f**k up when you lead. 3. chapter 3. Unfinished - the destinies of Gulianni and Clinton. Geez.

Let's see why the elites can do what they do.

WHAT is USofA.

1 Elites:
Politicians, CEOs, financiers, DAs, corporatists, billionaires (those who have stolen the first million, been donated one or inherited one), government scientists and engineers, elite doctors and inventors, think tanks and yes THE MEDIA, the elites through association ONLY, but let them be what they think they are, even though they are the worst kind of them all.

2. The Middle Men
Policemen, FBI, CIA, Army, lawyers but not quite the elite ones, elite professors and thinker, regular doctors, commentators and foreign secret agents.

3. Commoners
95% of Americans, the people, yes here are we.

A few words on how the system works.

1 uses 2 to keep 3 as 3, let some of 3 be 2 so 3 stays 3 and never endangers 1 through reforms, revolutions or simple exercising of their influence as drawn in the Constitution, but thanks to cooperation of 1 and 2, the rights written in Constitution get twisted, hidden or gradually destroyed so 3 can focus on Jena 6 and elect Clinton or Gulliani, while 1 continues feeding off of 3 and totally giving shit about 2 in the process.

Scenario.
A commoner wants to protest. A politician/president sends the policemen. A commoner wants to conspire to protest more radically and effectively. The elites send the FBI. A commoner managed to conspire to the extent that his message, simple, true and honest found a group of listeners, the group gets stronger and starts talking, making other groups that think the same, finding the common cause that everyone understands to be the good one. The elite sends CIA, CIA sends surveillance experts, CIA asks ATT and Verizon to join the team to protect 1 of which they are the members, 1 manages to keep 3 again where its place is, utilizing as much 2 as possible in the process. The message got stronger, it got out and 1 is in real danger now, 1 sends lawyers, IRS agents, doctors like psychiatrists to take out as many psychos from 3 and put out of the system completely as possible. The message is way too strong now. Philosophers, thinkers, professors, Bollingers, now it's your turn so don't even dare to f**k a thing. Red alert! Red alert! 3 is getting close to revolution. Who do we call now? Of course, THE MEDIA comes to the rescue, self-proclaimed “1” but not really 1, utilizing as many "commentators" as it can find in Sector 2 and the eyes of the Elites from sector 1 can only wait to see what happens now. Gulliani wins??!!! Oh shit!! Hm, the democratic barometer doesn't handle the downward pressure and inevitably explodes. The system remains intact. Sector 3 is thermally closed and sealed.

The United States of the 3 Sectors. America in short.

yes, wishing really hard to an invisible sky genie saved your redneck community from political annihilation.

Is it any wonder why people don't take the south seriously?

Forgot the link. Here it is.

Tomorrow Dr. Phil's show will be about the Jena 6. He is going to discuss the previous beatings of the black students and the noose.

Should be interesting.

Go ahead and shake that family tree, Mr. Walters... see if a few people of color don't fall out.

The DA is a ridiculously racist hayseed, but these are the types of politicians one finds in the small towns of the South. The Republicans didn't call their racist election tactics the "Southern Strategy" for nothing.

BTW xiotes, I have never found anything you've ever said to be anti-Semitic.

Walters could tell because the wrinkles in his hood formed a shadow of the Lord's face last night.

Look, you people are quoting him out of context. Sure, he seems racist, but we don't know if he was suprised that the negros didn't rise up against the white oppressors or that he was surprised that Jesus is a big Xanax. Plus, the context is the guy is mentally ill.

this guy is a throwback to the jim crow south

it was his non prosecution of the noose hangers and other events that led to the most recent assault

please explain to me how hanging nooses in response to black students sitting under a tree cannot be seen an a direct threat and therefore be an offense

30,000 people demonstrated peacefully in a tiny racist town without incident. The police could not possibly be the reason. In this nitwit's mind it could not possibly have been because the demonstrators were peaceful. It had to be the will of Jesus.

You know, because the demonstrators were black.

this guy thinks jesus calmed the darkies

i lay odds he is a lufa boy viewer

I would like to take this time to personally thank Jesus for shinning his eternal light on GOP family values hypocrites like David Vitter and Larry Craig. I would also like to thank Jesus for the Democratic house and senate he gave us in the last election. I praise Jesus for Bush's 29 % approval rating and for insuring he goes down as the worst president in the history of America. I praise Jesus for Keith Olberman and blogs for countering reich wing propaganda, lies and the corporate media shills. I praise Jesus for allowing me to escape from my native southland and to the northeast away from the bible thumping zealots. Last but not least I praise Jesus for being a Democrat.

In his name, amen.

"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."

Who would Jesus hang?

They would prolly have hang Jesus... people say he wore a white cloak, had a black beard and was from the middle east.

No No No...he was a blonde-hared blue-eyed white guy...everyone knows that...don't you watch TV?

I'm sorry, is he the D.A. for the Christianabans or for all the people?

He has already proven he is not the D.A. for all the people.

The walk out

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.5756/title.mos-def-others-sponsor-...
 

Within an hour of the fight, six black students were arrested and charged with aggravated battery. According to The Jena Times, at least a dozen teachers subsequently threatened a "sick-out" if discipline was not restored to the school. According to the Alexandria Town Talk, District Attorney Reed Walters responded to the teacher's threat by upping the charges on the six boys to attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder—charges carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. -- Jena 6 DOC

A walk-out exacerbated the situation already. What's another going to do to help?

On the news all I've been hearing over and over that Bell will be retried as a juvenile where he could "be in jail until he's 21". I don't bother to include "could" in the quote because I think it's going to be remembered. That a conviction will be insisted else be met with accusations of reverse discrimination or worse. Hypocritically wanting different, lesser, punishment for a crime based on race.

This is still a tragedy. Specifically because it could've been averted if those in authority followed the law instead of caving into a walk-out threat.

I'd rather people review the events and recognize the warning signs. Initial dismissal of a problem followed by willful denial the problem ever happened.

Kyra Phillips is another loser America has to be subjected to on a daily basis. Too bad Jesus Christ can't cause on intervention to get Kyra the hell off the air waves.

Church and state violation.

Spock's ghost @ 109:

The logic of this statement is inescapable.

The good people of Jena...I mean the white people of Jena asked Jesus to intervene and not let any monkeys I mean negras I mean coloreds I mean black folk ruin they're mock contempt for anyone not smiling about those little old harmless nooses!

I saw not one black officer.

I saw not one black person, but I certainly heard the brave African American gentleman in the back of the room speak up when he heard the bible thumping DA accuse Jesus of putting his powers upon and causing all those niggers I mean negroids I mean darkies I mean spear chuckers I mean non-whities to act humane like white people.

The DA is a disgusting tool for white power.
Let me stress that the DA is a discusting tool for white power!

I hope Reed gets caught up in a police sting in a airport bathroom and a black officer arrests him and he goes to court where a black judge sits and a black jury convicts him of being an irrelevant human being.

Reed: The only way and let me stress that, the only way that I believe that me, or this community has been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in this community. (loud applause) I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened. You can quote me on that!

...and now ladies and gentlemen, let us all proceed home so that we can put our
Klan robes on and have a big gigantic cross burning!"

You don't fool me or anyone else Mr. DA!

When I did all my research on this story, I was able to get a good picture of what went on, the context, etc. I have been grateful for more U.S. coverage recently, but it has been so shallow, leaving out the context that made the case so important and so urgent to so many of us. Most of what has remained of the story has been not so sympathetic to the six boys (white boy knocked unconscious, then kicked by a group, racial controversy).

In this press conference, knowing some background to the Jena Six story, the mindset of the DA becomes clearer. This is a man who claims that it was ONLY due to the intervention of Jesus that disaster did not strike while the black protesters were in the city, subjecting it to such an ordeal.

He is also the one who, months ago, as blacks and whites in the high school auditorium sat on opposite sides during an assembly, turned toward the blacks and (verified by several sources) said to them, "I can end your lives with a stroke of a pen." This was in response to protests by the black students which followed on the heels of the famous noose-hanging incident at the school. He made good on that threat when they did not stop protesting, and most of the rest you know by now.

Clearly racist, as well as bizarrely religious, and the enthusiastic response to him and his remarks makes clear that, despite complaints that the town was judged unfairly, bigotry and small-mindedness are well-established there.

And in the rest of this country, to different extents and in different forms.

Bush is also friendly with the KKK, via Grand Wizard Haley Barbour.

In 2003, the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial service was broken up by the Bigot-in-Chief's sudden decision to drag his wife by the hand to the eternal flame and leave his bouquet to the departed black saint.

The public event on that day had been underway for hours, but when the Feds showed up, the Atlanta cops and Feds cleared the area, forcing the assembly, mostly black, across the highway, behind a row of city buses parked end to end, so they couldn't see.

Then Boy Wonder put his hood back on, and took the video of THE OUTRAGE to his pal Haley's fundraiser, where the assembled bigots laughed and high-fived about how successfully they had put their hate crime across.

What this idiot was really saying:

"And I want to thank our POOOlllice ricche here behind me for keeping those uppity nigras who came down to our peacfully segregated town and thank my lord and saviour Jeeseus Christ that those 40,000 nigras didn't decide to do somethin violent because if they had gotten nasty our asses would have been grass"

Oh and by the way "Highly EduImicated" District attorney......."GRATIFICATION" is not a word in the English language you idiot! I am sure he is a Bush supporter considering he language skills!

[Sorry, didn't mean to imply it was Pickles.]

"the Bigot-in-Chief’s sudden decision to drag (MLK Jr.'s) wife..." (behind a Blackwater Humvee, was overruled by the lawyers).

This took place four years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. How many Americans were informed of this heinous behavior by the 'liberal' media of the time?

Today's extension of the hate crime law to embrace all Americans by the Senate, against a blizzard of Republican whining, was a 'market correction' against Tuesday's crash. It may be that the noise over Moveon distracted the R enough that they couldn't get their pigs in a row on hate crime legislation. Another bonus from this boneheaded crisis.

Oh and by the way "Highly EduImicated" District attorney.......your use of the word "Gratification" was extremely incorrect.

This whole thing has monstrous amounts of stupidity coming from both sides. The idiot white kids who put the nooses up in the first place should have been more harshly dealt with, to make the point that such behavior is not acceptable at all but that doesn't excuse the later idiot black kids who ganged up on the lone white kid.

Actually, "gratification" is indeed a word in the english language. He was just using it incorrectly.

damn, i quoted the wrong comment by you, and in doing so, noted that you had already corrected yourself....

mea culpa

Talk about a town full of nut cases. I guess there isn't anything that these loons can't thank Jesus for. Racism, "Yeah jesus", filandering senator, " The will of jesus". Give me a break.

I think I need glasses - cos I swear I didn't see any non-white people at the press conference!

I'm surprised the Jena 6 weren't all strung up THAT tree and the locals dancing around it in white sheets.

And I think Bush won't be considering Reed for a promotion - unless Jesus Christ intervenes and tells him to do so!

What a bunch of f**** wankers!!!

Holy cow! The south is one big freakshow.

I have often wondered how people could be so stupid, so hateful, so insensitve, so blind to the world around them that they could not only support the likes of the Bush mob once, but then do it again.

Now I know....

Makes you proud to be an American, huh?

This bigoted cracker has deisgraced the nation. If I were him, I would worry about being struck by lightning after so casually name dropping Jesus and linking that with his despicable actions. Scumbag.

Put down the big brush.
Not everyone in Louisiana is a freakshow, but they seem to be the majority.

There is no justice where religion is involved. This idiot needs to be removed at once and censured.
But since the jebus freaks seem to be in charge I'll just say "good luck" because you'll need it. The first inquisition was pretty bad. I imagine the second one will be that much worse now that automatic weapons are available.

Jim Charbonneau @ 126:

Just further proof to the rest of us that the religious idiots can use their make believe to justify anything they want.
That... or jebus is an asshole.

Well Jena is a place to avoid unless Jesus is in town. Or all hell will break loose.

When is the next time Jesus is going to check into the Super Eight?

No one had less to do with it than Jesus. Suck it, Jesus!

That was just pathetic! Who can stand to live down there?

Racist suppressors often use Jesus as a crutch, look at George Bush, look at... well every wingnut in this country. Makes it easier to sleep at night when your supreme being validates your crimes against humanity. What a guy, what a country!

It's really not too late to let the South seceed...

We are working on the south-don't give up on us yet. blue in a red state

I'm thinking 2012 GOPer front runner is... Reed Walters. Hell, maybe next week Sam Brownback will announce that Walters would be his VP for 2008.

Was Jesus available for comment? After all, since he averted this disaster, I want to hear from him. Oh, wait...

That was pretty pathetic. Who would live down there? Sorry to any Southerners, but just watch the video again.

As

(Breaking news: I just learned I am a moonbat. Coo-el. I did not know.)

...cause Lord knows (in best Gomer Pyle voice!) it is IMPOSSIBLE for human beings to act civil without the guiding light that is our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ!

I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that ducks can read my thoughts.

Why am I crazy but this pinhead DA isn't?

thank you easter bunny (about as legitimate a person/thing to thank)
until people give up on these fairy tale bearded guys in the sky who are rooting for our side to win, humanity is doomed.

Did Jesus bring some wine and cheese to go with those crackers?

Good thing the black guys had been playing football and not lacrosse or this guy might have been out of a job.

*shakes head* the white devil strikes yet again...

JohnnyThief @ 18:

Who would Jesus hang?

(loud applause f/ the "60 white supporters of the DA")

Yeah, if it had not been for Jesus, the persecution of these 6 youths would have gone undiscovered and unstopped.

Funny how the only violence mentioned were the veiled threats by some Jena residents. “We’re a hunting community & we’ve all got shotguns”??!! Perhaps as history has shown, if there had been police dogs, fire hoses and nightsticks used to disperse the crowd, there would’ve been a different outcome.

I believe the "undying (self) gratification" involved the five to ten plants he had in the room for the "spontaneous" applause.

"... the trauma that has been thrust upon us..." Oh yeah, there is a victim in this case, its the good, white, christian folk of Jena, Louisiana - why don't y'all just crawl up a cross and nail yourself up there. Just like O'Reilly, these asshats are always the victims when someone notices them being racist.

Undying gratification? Between this guy and Bush, I feel like english is dying just like so many languages. Then again he was signalling how he would be supporting the police in a very republican way in the back room for years to come?

Wasn't Jesus a darkie?

At least compared to WASPS.

He'd be more like:

Come to think of it churches are called institutions.

putted?

But only in dreams

If I had such dreams

Oh God, why can't I get laid even in my dreams?
