    from a Rev. in the community that wants to set some facts straight.

    I think this is a real life version of a John Grisham novel and 6 are being exploited by the media and activists for personal not racial gains.

    An "stranger" donor, not Al Sharpton, paid the bail money.  Al Sharpton would rather that Bell stay in jail because it makes for a bigger political specticle.
    Sounds more like a Tom Wolfe novel.
