There's Something Rotten About Jasper TX [View all]

http://once.unicornmedia.com/now/adaptive/m3u8/3aaae01e-e0f4-439d-aa7a-8d5e3e774105/db6630fb-4bb5-45b9-ba6e-04014bcf7f30/63945127-e9de-4879-b74d-4e5b3b0d6a36/n_sharp_4caught_130604.m3u8?visitguid=f255d911-4fea-45b1-a1de-3021429d6dec&UMADPARAMsite=47418%26UMADPARAMzone=182322

At the link is a video of Reverend Al interviewing a woman and her Attorney - She was picked up for a $150 traffic ticket in Jasper, TX on Sunday May 5th. Hopefully the link works. Basically she takes a beating because she doesn't have the $150 to pay the ticket. No audio so we can't hear the exchange.

The two officers we're fired - but it begs the question - What else is going on down there. A whistle blower released the tape - but what if they had not? I can't believe this is the first time this happened.

As a reminder - Jasper TX is where James Byrd was dragged for a few miles in 1998 by truck until he was beheaded.


Sick sick sick. Something is sick in Jasper TX.
