I'm really happy that so many people got together, went to Jena, and made a difference. More importantly, I'm glad that you've brought attention to the fact that this is not an uncommon occurrence. The uncommon occurrence is the fact that the MSM has actually bothered to cover it and show some realization of the fact that this is a great injustice, although CNN tried to show it the other way for no good reason other than "journalistic integrity."

I think the coverage was more about John Kerry than the idiot kid. The various Fox News (sic) hosts salivated at Kerry being unable to stop the incident, like a senator has rank on a cop or something.

“Uneven” treatment, indeed.

Pfui.
