AP: Justice Dept. Asked to Enter Jena Case

[Coexist]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Congressional Black Caucus is asking the Justice Department to investigate possible civil rights violations in the "Jena 6" case that sparked a massive protest in Louisiana last week.

"This shocking case has focused national and international attention on what appears to be an unbelievable example of the separate and unequal justice that was once commonplace in the Deep South," the group of 43 lawmakers said in a letter to Acting Attorney General Peter Keisler.

Justice Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said the department has been closely monitoring the case of six black high school teens arrested for beating a white classmate in Jena, La. He said the department also is investigating allegations of threats against the students and their families.

The black lawmakers call the decision to charge Bell and his classmates as adults "an abuse of prosecutorial discretion" and claim no action was taken in a recent similar case involving a white defendant and a black victim.

1. How does an idiot like Reed Walters get appointed? He needs to be investigated

as well.

Bill O'Reilly's racist comments on civilized and cultured blacks is not different than Walters' statement: "The only way — let me stress that — the only way that I believe that me or this community has been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in this community." And, "I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened. You can quote me on that."

These beliefs certainly reveal his racist thinking. I' just can't believe it.

2. Yes, it was interesting to learn, Jena has its own Jesus that only protects some of them n/t
