<<Jesse really came unglued over the way the movie "Barbershop" needled him and other black leaders.>>

A few years ago 5 blacks and one white boy waded into the crowd at a Decatur, Illinois HS football game with baseball bats. Lots of injuries. White kid plead guilty. JJ came down to "protect the rights" of the black kids who had been expelled. Nasty old judge issued an order that JJ not enter the school. JJ called the press and crossed the line waiting for his ceremonial arrest. The cops jumped him like a bank robber, cuffed him and did the perp walk. He got bail and headed home. Macon County Illinois still has an arrest warrant out on him. Keeps him out of Decatur.
