OK, so this Jena Six shoe thing is really bothering me

Seems like everyone gets mad when they learn that the prosecutor argued that a shoe was a dangerous weapon.  Turns out, a shoe is a dangerous weapon in most states, including Louisiana.  (Well, actually it’s up to the jury to decide if it is a ‘dangerous weapon”, but it’s fine for the prosecutor to argue it, is my point.  It’s settled law.) 

If you doubt me, check out these cases: State v. Munoz, 575 So.2d 848 (La. Ct. App. 1991) and in State v. Taylor, 485 So.2d 117 (La. Ct. App. 1986)
