This thread is just as contentious as the previous one

This was when due process was practically unheard of and Judges and Prosecutors spent their days absolutely crushing defendants and defense attorneys.
Absolutely shameful, tragic and grave miscarriage of justice.

Right. It doesn't even matter if he was guilty for this to have been clearly great injustice. Everyone deserves a fair trial. This is a concession of modern civilized society that has been put in place so that when an innocent person is put on trial corners are not cut, faulty assumptions are not made, and an innocent person does not have his life taken away either by time spent in jail or execution.
Obviously chances of an innocent being falsely punished cannot be pushed to absolute zero, but a just and decent society attempts to get it as close there as it can with reasonable means as a point of principle. A just and decent individual supports this principle. And a person who isn't a fricking moron or a bigot can see clear as day that this just and decent principle was not upheld with the situation that is the subject of this thread.

I was going to write a long response but I'm going to flush it and watch a movie tonight. I agree with some of what you said and disagree on some too. We should get back to hating on UT instead. Have a good night.
I don't have a reason to hate on Tennessee.

Yeah, no they didn't. There was a lot more in that case than "they dress weird." A whole lot more.
Public opinion found them guilty because they were diff. That is an accurate statement and you know it.
I was simply pointing out, maybe we haven't progressed that far.
People don't like different. All races and religions and cultures.

And people here actually wonder why people still consider the South a backwards racist cesspool.
No everyone on this board is from the south. Go back to your majority white North.

it took new england more time to come back in the super bowl than it took for them to convict a 14 year old of murder and send him to old sparky

So did cr32pll29 walk in on his mom taking some massive bbc in his bedroom after school and blames the black man for his daddy hitting her and leaving them as just a wee lad or what?

73 Years Ago Today The State of South Carolina Executed a 14 Year Old Boy
quote:
Not saying he did it but what do you think is fair for murdering 2 girls with a railroad nail?
an actual investigation into their murder
I meant current times of a 14 year old boy who murdered two girls that were that age and was convicted. I was not talking what if's but the age of when you think it's OK to pull the trigger on a murderer.
Where do you draw the line with age? Pretty sure one of those sick fricks in the Columbine shootings was only 17.
Again this comes from I don't think we should execute 14 year olds. So my question is at what age is it ok to execute them?

what does any of this matter?
Are you asking why it matters today that black folks were enslaved, segregated and ostracized ?
If you really don't know how these things matter then I don't know that there is anything I can say to convince you. It feels obvious to me.

I was born in the South, but I don't live in the South. I live in Texas.
Also, I never said i hated the South. I made an observation about one poster's apparent racist apologetics.

Tbird, you graduated.
Why waste your breath or finger muscle movements on this simpleton?

I read more on here than I post (unless it's football season then I post more).
This poster is not worthy of your engagement.
Now I'll mind my own fing business.
