Maybe so, but for me the bottom line is he violated his probation and this is where he would have ended up anyway. So I hope this doesn't lead to an extension of the Jena protests.
I guess for me I just don't think the whole thing should have gotten the "status" it did in the first place. For folx to have described it as the most monumental protest since the civil rights movement, to me was ludicrous. There is no comparison. Like the Million Man March, too many people went there for the show and to say they went, rather than for the cause. And many didn't even go to either event but just hung around DC or Jena in nearby hotels partying for the night. But then my view it is probably a generational thing.
