MYCHAL BELL RELEASED ON BAIL-Jena 6

We do not condone violence of any kind, but we ask that people be given a fair and even chance at the bar of justice.Tonight, Mychal can go home, but Mychal is not out of the juvenile process. He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him.Let America know -- we are not fighting for the right to fight in school. We're not fighting for the right for kids to beat each other. We're fighting to say that there must be one level of justice for everybody. And you cannot have adult attempted murder for some, and a fine for others, and call that equal protection under the law. Two wrongs don't make one civil right.------Reverend Al Sharpton


Last week Friday,Mychal Bell of theJena 6 was released on a $45,000 bail. The 17-year-old boy who had spent nearly ten months in jail walked out of LaSalle Courthouse last week to find a number of Jena 6 supporters. Mychal still faces trial as a juvenile,and not as an adult as a judge previously sought, for a fight that took place on the grounds of Jena High School in Louisiana.

What is your take on this news? Should Mychal have been freed?
