Is There Inherent Racism In Jena?
Young
blacks
and
whites

commingle

of
Confederate
flags
there.

It
was
interesting
to
hear
how
the
residents
of
Jena
felt
about
their
town.
And
even
though
the
statistics
show
that
Blacks
aren't
the
majority
that
get
arrested,
I
would
still
like
to
explore
the
possible
"institutionalized"
racism
that
may
be
present.
One
thing
that
would
be
interesting
is
taking
a
look
at
the
school
district.
I
actually
might
do
research
on
this
sometime
next
week.

Where
is
the
equal
justice
under
the
law!
I
went
to
Jena
to
find
out
what
was
going
on,
it
was
the
same
Good
Ol’
Boy
Mafia
racist
that
are
running
Alexandria,
Louisiana.
I
decided
I
would
be
able
to
help
the
most
if
I
ran
for
Sheriff
of
Rapides
Parish,
which
is
very
close
to
Jena.
I
successfully
forced
Kalb
T.V.
Channel
5
to
have
the
first
televised
political
forum
ever.
I
brought
up
very
important
topics
of
racism
that
were
going
on
in
our
area.
Please
watch
the
forum.
http://www.kalb.com/index.php/news/
article/rapides-parish-sheriff-cand
idate-q-a/973/
Sheriff
Hilton
admits
on
Kalb
he
subverted
the
Sheriff
race.
If
anyone
can
help
me
bring
these
men
to
justice,
I’ll
stand
up
for
what’s
right
so
help
me
God.
I
don’t
care
what
the
cost
might
be.
Please
help.
I
had
to
leave
Louisiana
becouse
of
the
stand
I
made.
The
sad
truth
is
the
courts
corruption
has
followed
me
here
to
Hawaii.
If
something
it's
done
I
fear
I
will
be
set
up
for
a
Crime,
are
just
shot
in
the
street
for
the
strong
stand
I
have
taken
against
the
Good
Ol'
Boy
Mafia.

KALB
Rapides
Parish
Sheriff
Hilton
Responds
Hilton:
Ronnie
Wagner
is
Chuck
Wagner’s
brother.
He
is
a
Captain
in
our
Detective’s
office.
Ronnie
and
I
talked
early
on
in
this
campaign
but
I’m
sure
that
he
is
promoting
his
brother
like
he
should
be.
I
don’t
know
what
hours
and
times
of
the
day.
You
know
it
would
be
hard
for
my
brother
to
be
running
and
if
I
saw
somebody
I
thought
he
could
get
a
vote
from
and
ask
them
regardless
of
what
time
of
the
day
it
was.
Whether
it
was
on
duty
or
off.
(Q:
Does
this
mean
that
during
their
meeting
there
was
a
negotiation
that
allows
Ronnie
Wagner
to
work
while
on
duty
for
his
brother
Chuck
Wagner?
The
Sheriff
through
this
quote
says
that
he
has
no
reason
to
care
whether
or
not
Ronnie
breaks
the
law
to
help
Chuck
Wagner’s
campaign.)
Hilton:
Now
I
was
a
little
disappointed
in
Herman
Walters.
I
talked
to
Herman
several
times
about
this
race.
Herman
is
a
nervous
type
person,
he’s
scared,
he’s
paranoid.
(Q:
What
does
he
believe
Herman
has
to
be
nervous
and
paranoid
about?)
Hilton:
I
met
with
him
one
Sunday
morning
at
Leven’s
Grocery
in
Gardener
and
he
told
me
some
things
that
were
totally
ridiculous
about
things
he
was
imagining
were
happening
that
wasn’t
happening
and
he
was
even
talking
about
retiring.
I
told
Herman
don’t
do
that,
just
stay
the
course.
(Q:
Why
did
they
have
to
meet
at
a
grocery
store?
What
course
had
been
set
between
the
Wagner’s
campaign
and
Slocum’s
campaign
through
Sheriff
Hilton?)
Hilton:
Stay
with
this
until
this
is
over
with
and
everything
is
going
to
be
all
right.
Just
like
I
told
Ronnie
Wagner
day
one.
(Q:
Does
that
sound
like
people
conspiring
to
break
the
law
to
you
as
well?)
Hilton:
I
said
Ronnie
if
Chuck
prevails
Slocum
supporters
are
going
to
need
a
job.
If
Slocum
wins
Wagner
supporters
are
going
to
need
a
job.
(Q:
Does
this
sound
as
bad
to
you
as
it
does
to
me?
Sheriff
Hilton
openly
admits
that
from
day
one
he
helped
to
negotiate
terms
between
the
Slocum
and
the
Wagner
camp.
That
they
would
make
a
dual
campaign
working
together
so
that
no
matter
who
won
the
corrupt
Sheriff’s
department
and
the
men
that
are
protecting
it
would
remain
in
power
and
influence
together.)
Hilton:
If
Wagner
gets
elected
he
and
I
are
going
to
sit
in
a
room
and
we
are
going
to
talk
about
employees
and
we’re
going
to
talk
about
positions
and
we
gonna
talk
about
things
like
that.
(Q:
Is
this
part
of
the
negotiations
that
Sheriff
Hilton
stated
he
and
Ronnie
Wagner
had
previously
negotiated?)
Hilton:
If
he
comes
in
there
with
I’m
gonna
fire
this
one,
I’m
gonna
move
this
one
and
all,
the
transition
is
not
going
to
be
as
smooth.
(Q:
Is
this
a
threat
to
the
Wagner
camp
to
uphold
the
deal
made
between
them?)
Godard:
So
the
report
that
individuals
have
been
promised
jobs
are
false?
Hilton:
But
you
don’t
get
elected
without
promising
jobs.
I’m
sure
Wagner
has
promised
jobs,
matter
of
fact
I
know
some
state
troopers
that
he
has
promised
jobs
to.
(I
don’t
think
the
Sheriff
is
lying
in
this
statement,
but
he
did
say
that
neither
one
of
them
he
thinks
could
be
elected
without
some
form
of
corruption.)
Godard:
Are
you
absolutely
certain
that
in
your
Sheriff’s
department
nobody
has
used
the
public
time
to
campaign
for
the
Sheriff’s
office?
Hilton:
I
know
people
who
are
working
for
Wagner.
Godard:
Do
you
think
they’re
using
public
time
to
do
it?
There
hasn’t
been
an
internal
investigation?
Hilton:
I’m
not
saying
that
uh,
that
uh
they
are
not
working
on
public
time
but
I
don’t
know
about
it.
That
they’re
not
campaigning
on
public
time.
Quote:
That
uh,
that
uh
says
it
all.
If
this
is
not
a
statement
that
screams
that
there
is
an
external
investigation
needed
then
I
don’t
know
what
does.)

(Q:
Where
did
Chuck
Wagner
get
the
finances
to
run
for
Sheriff?
If
it
was
the
Roy
family
as
reported
then
that
could
tie
the
Mayor
of
the
City
in
with
this
conspiracy
to
subvert
the
Rapides
Parish
Sheriff’s
election.)
