Black Surfers for Justice 

From the DP we learn of a Jena 6 protest making news... in Los Angeles. The LA Times reports that "About 100 activists... blocked traffic along Sunset Boulevard for about an hour this morning". In the local news video accompanying the story, there's a sign in the background proclaiming the solidarity "Black Surfers" have with the Jena 6.

I grew up with surfers. My high school was across the street from the beach. And, generally speaking, it takes a lot to get surfers to ignore some tasty waves and stand in a street for hours protesting an event that occurred many miles away. It takes a lot to get them to do that. But apparently it takes even more than that to get the Progressive blogosphere to comment on the case.
