OK....I just watched Prosecutor Reed Walter's press conference on CNN...
...I'm heated.
THIS dude made no appology for what he did whatsoever, and kept making these subtle, passive aggressive statements about how if it weren't for the Jena police the thousands of black demonstrators who came to Jena last week would have gotten out of hand. Moreover, he said that but for the prayers of the Christian people of Jena, last week would have gotten out of hand.
You ever just wanna smack somebody?
I was also mad at the media people in the room who didn't know the right questions to ask. He explained from the onset that he, the prosecutor, doesn't set the bail and has nothing to do with the bail - that's the judge's decision. Why did these fucks ask him about the bail like 8 times. Each time he repeated the same answer: that's the judge's decision. Judges set bails geniuses. For the 8th time. Then one reporter even said flat out that she was unaware of the legal term to use but couldn't the kids who hung the nooses be charged for some kind of starting a riot....

Why can't they send some reporters who at least know basic legalese to ask the right questions. One reporter ALMOST had a decent question but she frased it in a way that allowed him to wiggle his way out; after the prosecutor went on and on about ethics and probable cause, she said "some people say that you violated the ethics that you just described with the attempted murder charge." To which he easily replied "well I'm not going to comment on what some people say."
You ever just wanna...well you get the point.
UHHHHHHHHHG!!!!!!!!!!!
