I think that every newspaper in the country should rally together to have the judge, the district attorney, and the public defender involved in ths case to be removed from office and never to practice law for as long as they live.

The police chief should be removed from office as well.

I think that everyone in the Jena court system should be
disbarred. This is a damn shame.

I would love to send a letter to the judge on this case to express how wrong I feel this is and I am not from Louisiana nor am I black...How can anyone think this kid is being given a fair trial...if this were a black kid who got beat up by white kids this would not be happening...and why were the white kids not punished further for the nooses? This whole case is morally wrong and should be dismissed. If you know how I may be of any help to Mychal Bell please e-mail me at:

I am pretty discussed with my state. I currently reside in California. This really turns my stomach. The national media pick and chooses what the American public should be aware of. Where is CNN? Where is ABC? Where is NBC? Where is Justice?

What the hell is wrong with this country!!!! "America, why don't you love me!" How can we be sooo educated, soooo religious, sooo upright, yet allow ourselves to continue being the arrogant idiots that only we Americans can be. Why is it that we have no shame in afflicting harm on those that are powerless....the whole group should be disbarred, and those of us that profess to care need to make sure that they are!!!!

My comment is for The attorney(Blane Williams) who was SUPPOSED to represent Mychal Bell. Mr. Williams, COUNSELOR! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU! How could you let yourself be bullied into HELPING this town of BIGOTS "RAIL ROAD" this child. It both saddens and infuriates me, to know that someone, who spent so many years educating themself on LAW and JUSTICE could allow himself to be used by the evil, racist people of Jena, LA to ruin the life of this child. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL Counselor!...

We all need to come together. It sickens me every time I read about this case. No child, NO ONE should suffer because of the color of the skin. God made us all. How did we get this way????

I agree that the charges were much too harsh, but there are a couple of issues that are being skirted.

1. Whether or not the white victim spent 5 minutes or 3 hours in an emergency room, a 6 on 1 fight, on school grounds, racial grouping aside, needs to be dealt with in a severe manner.

2. It is irresponsible for this paper or any other to infer that the noose incident and the 6 on 1 fight happened in close time proximity. Just about every news source concerning this incident seems to gloss over the four months in between the incidents, in order to make the story that much better.
