Re: It\'s Very Simple Really
Not directly relevant to the case, but more to the continuing escalation of tensions in Jena.... someone told me this morning that a member of the KKK was arrested last night in Alexandria, about an hour from Jena, after being seen driving slowly in front of black protesters with two nooses hanging off the back of his pickup truck.
The driver, from the Jena area, was arrested for DUI, and police confiscated a firearm and brass knuckles from the vehicle, along with the nooses fashioned from extension cords, and the driver readily offered he was a member of the Klan.
I thought it too outlandish and stereotypical a story to be possible, but then it was reported pretty much word for word by CNN, along with pictures of the vehicle with nooses in view.
It seems the Klan wasn't pleased with the appellate court's decision to vacate Bell's conviction, nor with the out of town black folks descending upon and drawing attention to their small bastion of Jim Crowe justice.
Seems things keep spiraling out of control over there.
