Mychal Bell should be in prison
According to Last Week's Poll
If I would have known that last week would be the week when pictures would turn up on the Internets of members of the Jena Six making it rain in their own mouths, not to mention the week it was revealed that the Jena Six was essentially yet another one of these Tawana Brawley incidents, not unlike the Duke Lacrosse case, I probably would have gone with something else for last week's poll.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to predict the future.
Last week's poll had to do with whether Mychal Bell should be in prison. Here are the results.
Should Mychal Bell be free from prison?
- No (138 votes)
- Yes (103 votes)
Of course this guy's case is a bit different, in that he was thrown back in jail for violating probation for some shit he had already done before the Jena Six. If I'm not mistaken (not that it matters in this case at this point) he had something like four(!) previous violent offenses.
Still, as the Junkyard Dog Stasson Goines might say, those were old crimes. And since this new one was justified, since the victim was white and this was at a school where they hang nooses on trees, you must acquit. In that sense, I could almost see the case for letting Mychal Bell go free. Almost.

Next week's poll, which is already up, has to do with the new Jay-Z album. Is it good, or is it not good? Listen first, then decide. Or just decide. Who gives a shit!
