    Memo to D.A. J. Reed Walters of Jena, LaSalle Parish Louisiana

    Thursday, September 20th, 2007 @ 4:55 pm | Civil Rights, Democrats, Education, Justice, Media, Republicans, US Politics, We Think, You think so

    TO: J. Reed Walters, District Attorney, Jena LaSalle Parish Louisiana
    FROM: Africa Blanche Reilly Dark

    I wonder. Where do you live? Apparently you do not live in Jena Louisiana. You say the case of the so-called Jena Six ” is not, nor has it ever been about race.”

    Seems to me it’s about race. Jena Louisiana small town of nearly 3000 people most of whom are white and real bigoted including you. The rest of the town’s population is black people who’ve always known and lived with the oppressive conditions the world has now come to know exist in your jurisdiction.

    You initially described the noose hanging incident as being a “prank”.
    J. Reed Walters you have proven without doubt even a man of your stature has received a substandard education in Louisiana. The word “prank” is sometimes defined as being a malicious action for amusement. Mostly it means a playful trick. This term you use, to dismiss a symbolic threat of a school yard lynching, to minimize its harmful affect, is an inaccurate use of the word. It is in fact a vicious act of intimidation. Perhaps you would have been better to say something like, “Yes we will contain our budding Negro problem by using the law and their race against them. We’ll not resort to the tactics of our forefathers in getting them back to being docile second class citizens.”

    During your news conference on Wednesday, September 19, 2007, you conveniently attempted to distance yourself from what you have stated in the beginning– the noose hanging incident was merely a prank. If you truly believe the noose hanging action is a minor insignificant act why not dismiss the charges against all of the black students? Why not give them the same treatment you have afforded the whites?

    The remark you made when addressing the student assembly with law enforcement officers at your side, “with one stroke of my pen I can make your life disappear” was indeed a threat which you intended to act on. The comment was a threat intimidating to all students, but especially to the blacks because you J. Reed Walters are utterly intolerant of blacks who speak up to defend themselves whether they be teens or adults. By your behavior you have demonstrated you really see no difference in the age groups when it comes to blacks old or young, male or female blue collar or professional. You feel no need to give respect to those whom you consider to be law abiding citizens or those whom you believe are lawless individuals.

    You have committed prosecutorial misdeeds. You have abused your power your authority given to you by the people of LA Salle Parish. For all those actions J. Reed Walters you must be removed from office, at the very least removed from the juvenile proceedings in order for Mychal Bell and the rest of the Jena Six to receive a fair trial. Change of venue is probably a good idea as well. Move the trial to Alexandria Louisiana. As the mayor of that town so eloquently said , “Alexandria is not Jena.”

    I see in your future J. Reed Walters a lot of “splainin’ to do, Lucy”. I see you having to go before federal congressmen, the bar association, state legislators to report how you came to make the decisions you did to attempt to ruin the lives of six young black men. You will have to stand before whomever you must be accountable to for mishandling of what amounts to a school yard fight. You’ll have to explain why you chose to bring those six teens up on excessive charges with excessive bail; bail in amounts you knew very well their families could not meet.

    Shame on you J. Reed Walters you made a really big mistake. I’m glad to say your efforts have been thwarted thus far. You must have been at the school when Justin Barker got himself into a fight. There must have been a stray blow that struck you in the head if you thought you could go after our children in this way. Did you think we, all of us of every color, religion, gender, age and lifestyle wouldn’t step up to protect our children? These children in Jena are symbolic of what is being done in every city of America to all of our young people. I pray your dastardly plan will continue to atrophy as your motives and actions are exposed worldwide.

    You’ve inspired people of good will everywhere in the nation, those who support equal justice for all, to take a stand against rude, insulting racist government officials who mimic our president and his administration. You should know better.
