Lawmakers seek US Action in Jena 6 Case
WASHINGTON - Democratic lawmakers denounced federal authorities Tuesday for not intervening in the Jena Six case, citing racist noose-hanging incidents far beyond the small Louisiana town where a school attack garnered national attention.
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing with federal officials and community activists examining the case of the six black teenagers charged with the beating of a white student. The incident happened after nooses were hung from a tree on a high school campus there — a symbol of the lynching violence of the segregation era.
Democratic lawmakers, many of them black, blasted federal authorities for staying out of the local prosecutor's case against the six, particularly that of Mychal Bell, who is currently in jail after a judge decided he violated the terms of his probation for a previous conviction.
"Shame on you," Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, said to Justice Department officials, directing most of her fury at Donald Washington, the U.S. attorney for Louisiana's western district — and the first black person to hold that position.
"As a parent, I'm on the verge of tears," Jackson Lee said.
"Why didn't you intervene?" she asked repeatedly, raising her voice and jabbing her finger in the air as some in the audience began to applaud.
Committee chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., called for quiet before Washington spoke.
"I was also offended, I too am an African-American," Washington told the panel. "I did intervene, I did engage the district attorney. At the end of the day, there are only certain things that the United States attorney can do."

Response: What a crock of bleep! This is nothing more than a dog and pony show! A victicrat rally at it's best. A committee with criminals in it talking about criminals. I guess Rep. Jefferson didn't excuse himself from the victicrat rally! Taxpayer dollars at its best being used by tax users. And check out the line, that said, "Democratic lawmakers, many of them black, blasted federal authorities for staying out of the local prosecutor's case against the six, particularly that of Mychal Bell, who is currently in jail after a judge decided he violated the terms of his probation for a previous conviction."
Decided? No he didn't decide, he did his job by doing what Bell's father, Marcus JONES said they didn't do. And that was to lock his thuggish-son's backside in jail, where he obviously belongs. Hey this is not me saying it, Jones said this:
"But see, the thing about that, Larry [King] -- see, in Jena, Louisiana, if you're doing -- if you're benefiting the town in some kind of way where Mychal was, by him being a good football player, putting Jena High School on the map, creating the revenue for the Jena, giving Jena publicity, having different scouts come in for -- for to scout him and watch him and everything. He was doing a good work for the town. So all of this so-called other charges that he is supposed to have, they were all fine and dandy back then."

I guess the moral to the story is: Ask and you shall receive.....ain't that right Marcus JONES father of Mychal BELL
