Mychal Bell is Free, La Salle Parish D.A. says Jesus Christ intervened last Thursday
Less than 30 minutes ago,Mychal Bell was set free at the LaSalle Parish Courthouse. Bell was flanked by his family, Martin Luther King III, and Rev. Al Sharpton. (see CNN report here).
Earlier, La Salle Parish D.A. Reed Walters made some very odd comments. Hearing the words come out of his mouth leaves one stunned, again wondering what century this is.
"I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened," Walters said. "The Lord Jesus Christ put his influence on those people and they responded accordingly," he said, without explaining exactly what he meant.
Is Walters talking about some type of riot of blacks in the streets of Jena? Is he talking about a massacre of protesters by gun toting whites? Did he mean some sort of race war? Did Jesus talk to him?
Anyway, God bless Mychal Bell, the other five young men involved, their family, and even the "victim" involved. I pray that Bell will find justice in juvenile court. This is not over, and it shouldn't be.
