March on Wall Street Dec. 10

From Danny Schechter’s News Dissector comes this news flash:We Have Marched On Washington, Now MARCH ON WALL STREET

MARCH ON WALL STREET SLATED FOR DEC 10
The Reverend Jesse Jackson has announced a MARCH ON WALL STREET on December l0, international human rights day. I happened to be on his national radio show on the day he announced it. Its part of a nationwide campaign to help people facing foreclosure save their homes. When you listen to the callers from all over the country who are loosing their homes, you realize how much personal pain there is. Jackson is “hoping other politicians, unions and organizations will take part.
Yes Jackson does have a reputation for jumping on issues and even media showboating, but I think he is very sincere about this. He sees a vast economic justice issue and a total lack of national leadership. He is willing to step forward and put together a coalition. More power to him.

But there's more in this article: we’ve got nooses in nearby Alexandria …

Jeremiah Munsen, 18, of Colfax, who was driving the truck, was charged with one count each of driving while intoxicated, inciting to riot and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, according to the police report.,,, Munsen was being held in the Rapides Parish Jail in lieu of a bond of $1,670.

Munsen was guilty because he was driving drunk and admitted he made the nooses. All the evidence on Bell is heresay, but he's ALREADY been incarcerated for 13 months because his bail is so high. Disgusting.

From an other paper we have this lovely companion story:
