Mychal Bell: Thug4Life
It’s the truly stupid ones that really annoy me.
Jena 6 Figure Shoots Himself
A teenager whose arrest in a racially charged assault case drew thousands of protesters to his rural Louisiana hometown was in a hospital early Tuesday after a shooting that his lawyer said was accidental.
Mychal Bell was cleaning a gun when it accidentally discharged, shooting him in the shoulder, his attorney, Carol Powell-Lexing, told CNN. He had surgery Monday night at a hospital in Monroe, Louisiana, and has not yet been able to talk, she said.
Of course. The old “I was cleaning my gun” story: the most ridiculous, lying, b.s. excuse known to man. Look, if you are too stupid to not make a weapon safe before you clean it, then you have absolutely no right to own a firearm in the first place!
Monroe police Sgt. Cassandra Wooten said the wound was not life-threatening.
That’s a shame. If anyone deserves a Darwin Award, it’s Mychal Bell.
Bell was one of six black teenagers who faced adult felony charges in the 2006 beating of a white classmate in the town of Jena. The beating followed months of racial tensions in the community of 3,000 after three white students hung a noose in a tree whose shade was traditionally off limits to blacks at Jena High School.

So, Bell already had a juvenile record, then pleaded guilty to battery as a result of the Jena 6 trial, and now carries a gun?
In most places, Bell would be worthy of shunning. Over at CNN, he is a minor celebrity.

I completely agree with you on this one. He deserves a Darwin Award. Once a piece of shit, always a piece of shit. People like this never change.
The whiners at CNN want us to believe he’s a victim of his surroundings. Yet the same bliss ninnies want to take law abiding citizen’s guns away.
Those common sense gun control laws are really working right?

P.S. – I hope he’s sterile or impotent but I doubt it. Give him a few more years and he’ll have 10 kids just like him.
The Marshall: “So, Bell already had a juvenile record, then pleaded guilty to battery as a result of the Jena 6 trial, and now carries a gun?”
Why the hell (sorry, I rarely swear but this is beyond me), why the HELL is he allowed to carry a gun? Is he still a teenager? A teenager with a criminal record for violence is carrying a gun that he is too stupid to know how to handle?
I have never held a loaded handgun. I have only ever, and very briefly, once touched a handgun when I was told by its owner (a mature American citizen who I trusted) that it was unloaded and he SHOWED me.
Even I know that a gun MUST always be assumed to be loaded unless you have 100% proved it not to be and even then you never, ever, point a handgun at anyone, including (especially?) yourself.
I know this living in a country where ownership of any handgun more powerful than a toy air pistol is illegal. Even Olympic Games target pistol shooting has to be practiced abroad.
And he does not …?
What is absolutely laughable is that they tried to make a civil rights icon out of this idiot. If anyone actually bothered to take the time to look up what a contrivance the whole Jena 6 thing was, they’d be laughing their asses off, too.
What a wuss. Dude obviously pulled his shot.

Joe – Unfortunately, he only shot himself in the shoulder, and not the jimmies.
Alan – The last thing this country needs is a toad like this carrying a gun. He makes the millions of safe, trustworthy American gun owners a bad name.
Trixie – Or, I don’t know, maybe asked him if he had a criminal record before the Jena insanity?
BZ – Unfortunately for the rest of society.
While we’re on the subject of skunks not changing their stripes, read this about Mychal Bell.
Evidently it ain’t been a good week for sweet, pure little Mychal.
A.D. – Great piece. Why am I not surprised?
I would bet he does not own any gun cleaning supplies. No bore brush, no Hoppe’s no. 9 solvent. It is more likely that he was fondling the gun, loading and unloading it for the pleasure of it, and pointing it at his surroundings while shouting “pow! pow!”
