“Hope he’s paying taxes on this.”

Bingo! Don’t think the IRS hasn’t seen this video. He may be just a stupid kid, but where are his parents/parent?

He needs to be knocked on his ass. And the IRS can pay a “visit”, as well.

Support the United Negro College Fund...because the mind is a terrible thing.

December 4 was the first day of school after the fire. There was considerable chaos, with students meeting in makeshift classes. After lunch, black football star Mychal Bell walked up to a white student named Justin Barker and punched him to the ground from behind. Some eight to ten boys—all black—then started kicking him. Witness statements taken later used phrases like “stomped him badly,” “stepped on his face,” “knocked out cold on the ground,” and “slammed his head on the concrete beam.” According to court documents, Mr. Barker was probably unconscious before he hit the ground, where his attackers stomped his “lifeless” body. The Jena Times calls it “one of the most violent attacks in Jena High School’s history.”

When Assistant Principal Gawan Burgess got to the scene, he thought the boy was dead. He was bleeding from ears and nose and showed no sign of life. An ambulance took Mr. Barker to LaSalle General Hospital, where he was in the emergency room for about 2-1/2 hours and racked up a bill of $5,467. A brain scan showed no anomalies, and he was released.

Much has been made later of the fact that that evening he attended the school’s annual class ring ceremony where, as a junior, he was to get a ring. “I waited 11 years to go to it,” he has since explained. “I wasn’t going to let that get in my way.” Mr. Barker had a swollen face and was in considerable pain. He left the ceremony early, as soon as he got his ring. He says he was blind in one eye for three weeks, and was still suffering from headaches six months after the beating.

... SO much for ‘not serious’ injuries.

That's a Pirate cap? I thought the "P" was for "posse".

OTOH, maybe that's how they got everybody to show up to support them - by mentioning "Free Hat"?

Meanwhile Michael Bell sits in jail because no one can seem to raise his bail. His parents seem to really care. The price of that BMW would have probably made the bail.

I wonder why black culture is a failure? I have no sympathy for thugs of any race. This story is far from over! Why is it so hard for Sharpton and Jackson to find a real instance of racism??

I wonder if he’s declaring the money to the IRS.

"The truth about the whole matter is Michael Bell and Robert Bailey are two of many ..."

That would be Mychal Bell ... special spelling for a special guy!
