I hope that all works out for this gentleman and that his past does not hurt his future.

TEAM JENA “6″…TAKE NOTE…OUT OF JAIL…STRAIGHT TO COLLEGE NOT THE RED CARPET…

Its so nice to see someone has a good head on their shoulders. When life gives you lemons make lemonade. I wish him well in the future.

D-ROCK…….EXACTLY!

It’s hard to say what he’ll do with this ‘NEWFOUND FAME?” Maybe write a book. A tell all would garner him millions! And i DO know that his attorney’s are instructing him HELLAGOOD.They are probably saying: look bro, don’t be bitter, act like you ain’t mad at the world…sit back and get paid…cause who wouldn’t by a tellall from a kat that did 2 yr.s in a hellhole for BEING UNDERAGE,WHILE HAVING SEX WITH AN UNDERAGE GIRL?

Lol! try sayin THAT in one breath.

I hope he fulfill his dreams? Best of luck and God speed!!!

i guess everything happens for a reason. but im pretty sure he is a good kid to begin with, just was not aware of the laws.

honestly, im sure many of us should have went to prison for the same thing. it really sucks how the government and laws expect us to be born into this world, and have a full understanding of the law.

both were below the legal age, so what harm could it have done? im sure more of us are more aware now.

Good luck to him. I’m glad justice was finally served and this young man has been released from prison.

Good luck to him in all of his endeavors……..

I also think that people who are falsely imprisoned should get compensated automatically!

How much would one yr.s of your life be?

It’s nice to post on a newsworthy item.

Wilson is a testament to young people. He was dealt a something foul, but now, he is getting the justice that he deserves, and he is going to give back to ‘society’ in Sociology, which is my minor, and a great study that many could benefit from.

I agree with Drock: The ‘red carpet’ is not as shiny as alot of folks my age (I’m 18-28) want to believe it is with certain images that the media portrays to us that we are so suspectible to believing. I am thankful to God that this young brother, who society seems to always set a target on, is flipping the script and representing himself and his folks proudly.

I pray to God that I too can represent myself and my family and friends in the same way in my life and choices.

This news does my heart and mind good.

That’s good that he tryna to do something with his life and actually taking this serious. I know some people where I’m from who get out of jail and go back like 2 months later. May God bless him in all that he do.

He’s become an icon, and so far, he’s upholding the title. I’m proud of him, though I’m not too much older than him. But the route that he chose will definately usher him to success. May we all keep him in our prayers hoping that nothing holds him back from achieving his dreams.

Tiray

Wilson was actually in jail for two years.

There are only a few states (21) who have automatic compensation for false imprisonment.

The states without compensation has to have the petitioner (ex-inmate) lobby the government of their state to make a bill that specfically orders a sum of compensation to be paid to the wrongly imprisoned person.

Personally, I think if the federal government made a blanket law that applied in every state, it would curtail some jurisdictions unfairly choosing some over others to receive compensation than others. But, politicans would have to see that a bill that that is nothing like welfare (the discussion of welfare, though is something different); it’s righting a wrong committed by the departments of justice.

I concur.

You go boyeee!!! Go get ‘em… Sky’s the limit baby… God bless..

Well…Good for him.

@DROCK – co-sign!!

I’m happy he’s out of prison for something so silly, but its in the past….I’m glad to see that he’s not bitter and plans to move on and succeed in life. Sorry to say some of the Jena 6 boys need to pay attention to him instead of the red carpet and money..Maybe they need a year or 2 to really understand.

Actually,we talk about this young man and aplaude him…GREAT! We should.

But we should (COLLECTIVELY GO AFTER A SYSTEM THAT WOULD KEEP ANCIENT RACIST LAWS ON THE BOOKS!)

The state flag in that area is indeed 1/3 rebel flag! We really need to expose these “little things” every chance we get. Just like the jena6 case, we should jump at the chance to stomp out racism at every turn.

WHAT NON-BLACK RACE WOULDN’T?

Those Jena 6 boys need to step up. I wish Genarlow the best.

Stay focus brother in keep a eye out for the devil

Its too late for Weezy. Now that Jen 6 crew we still might be able to save. Send them a transcript *ahem* READ the interview to them. THANKS!

I couldn’t read the whole thing but I’m glad he has a brain and wants to turn a negative into a positive (while he could have blamed a white man or been mad at the world). Good for him. I wish him well.

I wish him the best of luck!

i hope he stays on his path. he needs to give those dudes in la a little lesson

Stand up young man and take your spot. with all the nagativity surrounding black people it a blessing to hear positive news.

I hope someone notices in this world that his attorney was white she really was a driving force behind getting him out, she went on lot of shows and really gave his plight alot of publicity. This is a very perfect situation were the desire for justice superceeds all bias and differences. She is to be commended for her actions.with all the negative stuff happening happening racially it very encouraging to see someone of a different race devote so much to a cause.

This situation was a travesty. Trying to make consensual teen sex “child molestation” is absurd. Where can I donate to this man’s college fund?

WOW…GLAD HES OUT BUT LOOK LIKE SUMBODY GOT TO HIM IN THERE… WAY TOO MUCH GLOSS ON DEM LIPS..

much success!

I think if Wilson can sue the state of Georgia he should. I think it was very racist what took place here the state cannot just get away with this injustice.

I followed this case and i was glad to see him released from prison. I wish him the best of luck

because i’m sure he will succeed! “GOD BLESS”

I say put his black arse back in jail .

DROCK your lil’ baby pic is sooooo cute! I hope this young man takes in all he can with his life, and not go down that path again.

I highly doubt you are Paris Hilton.

Whoever you are, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

You can always count on people with evil spirits to try to tear down others.

Isn’t that right, fatboy and Paris?

He is handsome!

It shows how much they value a Black female in regards to Serious Sister’s post.

Any non-Black would have been blurred out or not even been considered to be shown @ all!

Now both young women will be ridiculed and chastized by ignorant folks.

McDade is a sicko.

hmmmmm….lets see if he actually does any of this. the instant fame/notoriety mite prove too much to resist

Aa parent of both sexes, it’s sad to see that there is a double standard when it comes to sex. We subtly want our boys to be sexually experienced while we want our girls to save themselves. I think if we (as a society) would teach abstinence or if he was taught that, it probably would’ve reduced his chances of being caught in the situation that took so many years from his life.

I do wish him well, though!

“He has said that while the law required him to release the video, he also believes the footage helps his case — by showing that Wilson is not the squeaky-clean football star and honor student portrayed by his supporters.”

If ask a lot of school districts if their squeaky clean honor students only did this versus shooting up schools, doing drugs, gang banging or giving in to the stereotypical behavior that has doom our race. They would take Wilson in a moment.

Oh and BET when is Mr. Wilson going to be on the Red Carpet? He went to jail and stayed there until his justice arrived.

You can sit up and invite Jena 6 dorks, TI, Weezy, 10 Cent and other morons that run in and out of the criminal justice system and say things to make us look stupid. Why not invite Wilson, who is turning this into a postitive.

On yeah I forget BET doesn’t believe in the postitive.

I wish him the best!..

I hope this young man learns from his past and leads a productive life. That will be his revenge on “the man” How many other kids are out there having oral sex? This was defintely a waste of tax payers money. Go catch some real child molesters.

Wish him the best of luck~~~~

I am so happy that he has chosen to take control of his life and not dwell on what happened. He definitely has the right attitude. And if he continues on this path, he should go on to do great things and be an example for others.

this young brotha will do great things.

Being wrongfully imprisoned means going to jail for a crime you did NOT commit.

He was convicted and sent to jail for a crime that he DID commit. It was on VIDEO TAPE!

How on earth would he sue for wrongful imprisonment?

glad he got released and wish the best for him.but i’m sure the homies will miss him in the pen,check those glossy lips in front of prison,what you think?

Imagine that, Jalilimaster….

These girls were very willing participants and this boy had just turned 17 days prior to the sexual act. We need to stop tossing around the victim status for everyone. I was a volunteer rape counselor for several years so I know rape victims and rape situations all too well.

This was not the case.

So you say what about the girls? Well, try helping them to understand the dynamics and responsibilities of willingly having sex….especially with multiple young men on tape.

As for the person that said we are co-signing wrong behavior, I don’t think so. What he did was morally wrong for sure, but lets be realistic, 30% or more of this country would be behind bars if we were all charged with teenage sex.

No one is saying what he did was ok, even he realizes that now, we all just know that it was totally ridiculous to give a 17 year old 10 years for getting a blowjob from a willing 15 year old. This could have been anyone’s child and we need to remember that. None of our kids are exempt from making bad, immature decisions no matter how well they were raised or warned.

I STILL SAY—

We must (as hard as it may be) teach our children ABSTINENCE!!!!

Abstain from sex= No possible exploitation!

Abstain from sex= No STD’s unplanned pregnancies, etc.

TEACH THEM ABSTENENCE and Lead by example! Remember–children live what they learn!

I stand by my original objection…where were the parents when their underage children were partying in a hotel room with alcohol engaging in multiple partner sex?

Perhaps sex between minors should not be considered (and prosecuted) in the same manner reserved for sexual contact between an adult and a child…HOWEVER, with adequate parental supervision, guidance and training, I doubt that any of the parties (Genarlow, the other boys, and girls) would have “celebrated” like grown swingers.

As black people, I say we must parent our children in advance…be an active, vocal and concerned presence in their lives before they come in contact with the justice system.

(She says, stepping off of her soapbox.)

I too do not believe that this man is a hero. His sentence was excessive, and I am glad that he has been released, but his conduct is not to be celebrated. I have yet to hear him say that he is sorry for videotaping and distributing an underaged gang bang. As a woman, I am offended. As a parent, I am outraged. These are not civil rights cases. Don’t beleive the hype.
