The way that poor kid was brutalized is beyond nauseating. I couldn't do that to a rodent, much less a 14-year-old boy.

The amazing thing about psychopaths is how they can justify actions in their own minds. And a corrupt social structure can give them easy targets.

Conversely, a lot of young white people from that generation made conscious decisions not to raise their kids in such environments. The brain drain was real.

they very well could still get away with it

That's a ridiculous statement. No person who committed this crime would ever be acquitted today, in any jurisdiction.

Late apologies don't count.

She is a nasty bigot and no different than the guys who killed him.

I know it's been 60 years and Louisiana's history is not much better, but Jesus Christ Mississippi is a fricking disgrace.

Actually it was a disgrace and has gotten much better. Where as some places in Louisiana have stayed exactly the same. I have NEVER gone to an away HS football game in The Sip and sat with black people from the home team in the visitors stands "because we aren't welcomed in the home bleachers"....can't say that about Louisiana.

*Edit: the only place in Mississippi that is still stuck in the last century is the Delta (i.e. North of Yazoo City to Tunica and West of 55). That place is a disgrace and we should nuke it and start over.

So you going to be that way fine.....West Monroe, also the only place I have ever visited where I sat in their home stands with some friends and got pelted with ice when after the visiting team won. Needless to say the friends were mortidfied and I wasn't the least bit surprised.

the Delta has been dying since the 1927 flood...and it will continue to shrink population wise other than the areas from Tunica to the Tennessee line...

it's rather interesting to me that this woman has lived under radio silence for as long as she has...the guilt she has had to live with (or the state of denial she's in) has to be a heavy burden...
