Mychal Bell of the Jena 6, Steals Stuff and Botches His Own Suicide

Mychal Bell, the thug who stomped on the face of Justin Barker, was busted trying to steal clothing on Christmas Eve, because when you commit a hate crime and thousands of foolish blacks march across the city on your behalf shouting “No Justice, No Peace,” it entitles you to steal stuff on the night baby Jesus was born.  Anyways, Mychal was embarrassed that he was busted acting like the criminal he is so he took a .22 caliber handgun, which, naturally belongs in the hands of a known felon, and shot himself in the chest.  He botched the job of course and lived.  He turned an epic suicide into a suicide fail.

From the AP here:

A teen convicted in the “Jena Six” beating case shot himself in the chest and was taken to the hospital Monday, days after his arrest on a shoplifting charge.

Mychal Bell’s wound isn’t life threatening. The 18-year-old used a .22-caliber firearm in the shooting around 7:40 p.m.

Cops believe Bell was upset over media coverage of the arrest last week.

The severity of the original charges brought widespread criticism and eventually led to more than 20,000 people converging in September 2007 on the tiny central Louisiana town of Jena for the largest civil rights march in decades.

Bell was in the news again after he was arrested on Dec. 24 and booked on charges of shoplifting, resisting arrest and simple assault. Bell tried to steal several shirts and a pair of jeans from a department store and fled when a security guard and off-duty police officer tried to detain him. After they found him hiding under a car, Bell “swung his arms wildly” and one of his elbows struck the security guard with a glancing blow. He was freed on $1,300 bond.

I’m sure the gun was stolen.  No one is supposed to sell a firearm to a guy who attempted to murder a white boy.  He should have stolen a bigger gun.  Hey Michal-  Suicide?
