I am an avid reader of Mark Cuban’s blog Blog Maverick and ran across an article today titled simply Genarlow Wilson.
I, like many of you have probably never before heard this name, but it’s about time you did know this young man.
Genarlow Wilson is a young man from Douglasville, GA which is just outside Atlanta. Genarlow was a well behaved young man with a very promising future, but that was all taken away by the state of Georgia in one swift day.
Click here to read the ESPN article about this Outrageous Injustice.
Update: Apparently now some more national news stations are now covering this story. Here is a link to CNN video story of the Genarlow Wilson Case.
Here is another video from ABC News where Genarlow explains why he didn’t take the plea bargain.
Please post any other video you find or articles relating to the case in the comments section.
Once you’re done reading the article on ESPN, please come back here and help this young man get set free.
ATTENTION ALL BLOGGERS and website owners!
I’ve been thinking about this poor guy all day now and since most people aren’t in a position to do much as far as money or as far as media attention like Mark Cuban, I think there is something we all can do that is actually quite powerful.
Bloggers and site owners have the power of the net and information at their fingertips. What’s great and sometimes not so great is we have the ability to sway opinion and alter search results.
What I propose is to “google bomb” the espn article to the top of google for the search term “Georgia”.
If we all write a post relating to the injustice of this and then post a link to the ESPN article with the anchor text “Georgia” (without the quotations of course) it won’t take but a few days for it to be #1 on Google for the search term Georgia.
This is extremely powerful and does give us all a way to help this young man. I also can’t imagine the State of Georgia will be very happy to know that the espn article is #1 when anyone searches google for info on their state. We can then all remove the links once someone with a sane mind turns around this insane sentence.
This actually works quite well to get a point across. It’s been done many times before and has worked. I actually helped do it for another search term when I was in the poker industry. Search google for “corrupt senator” (without quotes) and you’ll notice that Bill Frist’s wikipedia page is #1. This took poker affiliates all of about 2 days to accomplish.
So let’s use our power to get out the word about this and help this young man.
As we all know… the only time government will change is when the masses come together. So let’s come together.

My name is Bryan Hauer and I was born on January 11, 1976 in St. Paul, MN. Although my friends liked to kid me about it I am no relation as far as I know to the actor Rutger Hauer.
I grew up mostly in Minnesota and Wisconsin as I attended grade school in St. Paul, MN and junior high and high school in Racine, WI. After graduating high school I then went on to attend college in LaCrosse, WI.
Although I was born in Minnesota and lived there and Wisconsin most of my younger years, I've also lived in quite a few other states. 
What a tragedy! I read your post on Cuban's site and I'm really glad that you decided to post it on your blog so that it reaches more people.
"Georgia" might be a hard keyword to take. “corrupt senator” is much easier as a phrase. Still I'll help out and write a little something tonight.
sorry but i feel no compassion towards this kid, he's guilty by association,
he was there, nobody and i mean nobody really knows what his intentions were for all we know he's as guilty as can be, don't look at how smart he is or how great a football player he is
why is it, people always look at someone's awards, how smart they are and social status as if that really means anything when convicted of a crime, it means squat,
the fact is he was there doing the deed, he was already doing other illegal things, i'm not saying he's guilty but I certainly am not stupid enough to assume he's not,
he and other young kids may consider what they do more carefully, just because everybody is doing something doesn't necessarily mean it's right or legal,
i see fry his ass ok not fry but give him a few years, 10 years is too long I agree but then again if he rapped some girl then perhaps its justice
alias… you're a coward for not putting your name. Only cowards hide behind things and shout ridiculous statements.
You're also an evil person. Anyone who thinks the punishment fit the crime is ridiculous and not in touch with the real world.
Read the facts of the case and then give an opinion. From your statement you've already made it obvious that you didn't read or study what actually took place.
Bryan
