Now, we’re know for being peace-loving slackers here at HQ, and we don’t often get political and stuff, but, this is an exception. A big one, and an important one. The case of the Jena 6 is an absolute disgrace.
In a nutshell, this is a scandalous case of racism that is seeing half a dozen people looking at a long time behind bars for something that would be farcical if it were not so harrowing. I haven’t really got the skills to put together an editorial to do it justice here, so I’ll give you some links:
Dex Digital at mixtapeshow.net interviews James Rucker, giving a detailed insight into this case.

Take a minute to visit these links. Please. Educate yourself and spread the word, as this shouldn’t be swept aside.

Good looking on the link, man. And the message you left on the show was great - no worries on the cursing either. Just had to clean it up for the radio people…had to do the same on that Imus joint too.

Heard you on mixtapeshow.net. Respect for getting involved and voicing your opinions.
Really is a sorry state of affairs.
