“While it’s undisputed that Mychal Bell was an honor roll student, it is now also proved that he had a criminal record, including violent crimes, starting two years before the Justin Barker beating.

Battery – 12/25/2005
Criminal damage to property – 7/25/2006
Battery – 9/2006
Criminal damage to property – 9/2006
This explains the fact that Bell’s bail was much higher than the others.”

“As expected, the media picks up Mychal Bell’s juvenile history to distract from the nooses hanging from the “white” tree and the punishments applied to the black students and no punishment for the white students.

Prosecutor: “Jena Six” defendant had four juvenile convictions

JENA, La. (AP) — The teenager convicted of beating a student at Jena High School in December 2006 had been convicted as a juvenile for attacking someone a year earlier, then committed three more crimes while on probation for that one, prosecutors say.

That makes Mychal Bell’s aggravated second-degree battery conviction his fifth conviction for a violent crime, state District Judge J.P. Mauffray Jr. said Friday.

Because of that record, the judge said, he will not reduce the $90,000 bond he set for Mychal Bell, one of six black students arrested in the attack which left a white student bleeding and unconscious.”

And to think this method of criminalization is not isolated to Jena.It's national and traditional. Just in Westchester County, NY, A young Black man was videotaped in a fast food outlet was being jumped on by about 6 to 8 white boys/men. Anyone want to take a guess on who the police and DA arrested and charged with a crime despite the videotape of the event? And they wonder why Black kids aren't jumping to got to Iraq.
