Well though CNN is “the most busted news source” their linked report (above) comports with snopes — of course, I trust snopes only when they provide their sources, and that they did this time. See snopes link also.
Thanks for those links.
Just read some of the Snopes. Sounds like the town has problems all the way around, but that Mychal Bell sounds like a wonderful guy. Just the kind of black guy Sharptongue and Hijackson love to defend.
