Thanks to Azizi for the added background.

One major piece of information has been omitted thus far.THIS IS MYCHAL BELL'S 5th ARREST FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

The County Prosecutor, who is a black man, has explained that the 2nd degree murder charges were brought not only because of the heinous nature of the attack (Bell reportedly stood on the victim's head while he was kicked), but because of the escalating violence of the assaults.

Is this guy your argument for reparations, Bobert? Cause it ain't a very strong one.

As in the Duke Lacrosse rape case, the media and the black leadership, as well as Bobert, are all to ready to pass judgement before they know anything about it. And once they've passed judgement, they'll spend their time righteously justifying their error.

Where was the black leadership when the nooses were hung?
Not in Jena, because it just wasn't a big enough story.
