Where did all the Jena 6 money go?

Where did the Jena 6 money go? Why on bling of course! What did you expect? LINK

The Chicago Tribune’s Howard Witt penned an investigative piece published yesterday on the controversy surrounding the charitable funds raised for the Jena 6. I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that much of the money can’t be traced, while some of the defendants are literally rolling in race-hustling dough:

Just weeks after some 20,000 demonstrators protested what they decried as unequal justice aimed at six black teenagers in the Louisiana town of Jena, controversy is growing over the accounting and disbursing of at least $500,000 donated to pay for the teenagers’ legal defense.

Parents of the “Jena 6″ teens have refused to publicly account for how they are spending a large portion of the cash, estimated at up to $250,000, that resides in a bank account they control. LINK

a) A scholarship fund?
b) Donations to a local youth center?
c) Some kind of investment portfolio?

Stupid behavior...get money dumped on them. Can they shut their mouths? Impossible. Can they find something constructive to do with it? Hardly.

They crow it loud & long. No surprise here: human nature on exhibit.
I bet all Major media ignore the story. Better to stay with the victimization.

I am sure Jesse and Al got their share. I am glad they got the money and I hope they threw it all away and have nothing to show for it. That is what any idiot who sent money down there deserves.
