Quanell X Paid to Organize Protest

[Charles L. Cotton]

Lloyd Kelly successfully sued Harris County and negotiated a $1.7 million settlement for his clients. (The facts of the case are not relevant to this post.) Kelly is now being sued by his former clients and a Houston Chronicle article about the two suits contains some very interesting information about so-called Houston community activist, Quanell X.

Apparently, Quanell X was paid $20,000 to organize a protest rally on the courthouse steps. Well how about that. This convicted felon isn't doing this to help the community, he's doing it for the money. So the next time you see this guy on television all fired up over the "cause," remember that he's fired up "cause" he's getting paid.

A supplemental page of expenses filed by Kelley show $95,000 paid to attorney Tammy Tran for jury consulting and $20,000 to community activist Quanell X for organizing a rally in front of the courthouse, Sorrels said.

What? You mean Quanell the Tenth isn't just doing it because he believes so much in civil rights and standing up for the little guy? My faith in humanity has been shaken.

Surprise is something I can't feign about Quanell receiving money for what he does in the name of the greater good for our common humanity.

I've always wondered what he actually did for a living.

You were expecting ethical behavior from this civil rights shill? Quanell X has one up on the Rev.Jesse and Rev. Al. It's all about money now.
