Mychal bell one of the of the 6 Jena students that acted out upon the white students at their school is now serving up to 22 years in prison. Most say the reason why Mychal has been given such a harsh punishment is because of an all white jury I have a feeling that is probably the case, considering the fact that hes was sentenced by an all white jury and judge. But for some reason the media was all over Paris Hiltonâ€™s case for months, i can’t tell you why but i can say something isn’t right…
i not trying to get them free but an over nighter in jail is enough plus the the white students need a talking to as well.
i wish much luck to those 6 that are now in serious trouble for standing up for whats right.
the Jena 6 will be avenged!!!!

Yep, our sign-ups here in the UK seem to have worked. And we’re getting the follow-up emails too, which is good.

I’ve been speaking about this to all manner of people over here, and I’m still surprised, no, disgusted, about the lack of media coverage on this over here.

I even typed “jena 6″ into the BBC website, the bastion of British news coverage. What did I find? Nada. Zip…Maybe it was me and my off-key computer skills(?), but if they’ve covered this, they aren’t making a fuss about it, that’s for sure.

We have been, and will be, mentioning this in our forthcoming raido shows and on our website. Everyone need to do their bit on this.

Spread the word people…

To all my international people – I just got official word from Color of Change that they are welcoming international additions to the petition. Just note that you are international in the comments section, and type anything in the zip field. Thanks.

Mr U –

I’d say just go for it, include your area in the form and a note on where you’re from in the comments.

I’ll hit them with an email right now for clarification, but I think making sure people know that the world is watching (even if we are ignoring what is going on in our own backyard) is a good look.

The petition is a good first step, but not the last. Telling everyone you know – just show them this post, or the videos, or any other posts or videos that break this down even further – that’s a good second step.

Agent M, or dex, how can you actually sign the petition if you aren’t a U.S. Resident? I don’t understand. Would be grateful if you could help.

Peace

…I’ve been following this in the (limited) media coverage here in the UK. My jaw literally dropped when I was reading it in a newspaper on my way to work.

This kind of thing is a complete head-spinner, and no doubt things like this still go on, unreported (or at least not made a fuss about on TV), a lot more than we think.

Needless to say, we’re signed on the petition front here at Blunt HQ (thanks Sara – and thanks Dex for getting more people talking about it)

Yeah, me too. I didn’t even know how to approach it and figured hell with it, I’ll just post it.

I’m signed on. That’s the least I can do. Thanks.
