Sen. Dodd on the Jena 6

Nice to see a Presidential candidate and a mainstream politician speaking out on this one:

“The events in Jena, Louisiana are a sobering reminder that while segregation was outlawed long ago, de facto segregation in many parts of this country is still very real. No reasonable person would call what these young men have received ‘equal justice.’

“I sincerely hope that Governor Blanco intervenes in this case and grants immediate reprieves should any of the Jena 6 be convicted.”

  1. actually, i am not surprised. he has taken the lead on a number of issues, as has Edwards. but the media ignores them both.

  2. To be fair, Obama was the first to speak out on Thursday, the day before Bell was sentenced. Clinton was second, but she and Edwards, (who was third, I believe) spoke out after Mychal Bell’s sentence was thrown out.
