No Justice for Emmet Till

If you haven't visited the links on Mrs. James' blog, you really should. The Emmit Till one especially...here it is to make it easier for you :-)

It is sick to read about the trial and how the murderers Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam had no remorse and no regret. This picture is of them after they were aquitted by the jury, lighting up their cigars and kissing their wives. It's horrible to think that the all-white 10 man jury decided to let these guilty men go free after only 67 minutes.What is also very disturbing is the comment made by a jury member saying, "We wouldn't have took so long if we hadn't stopped to drink pop." This makes me so mad, I think they jury should have been convicted for knowingly aquitting guilty murderers! It seems like all of these men had no conscience. It's hard to believe people can think like that, but I think we all know where these men end up...

I completely agree, the whole trial and killers walking away without so much as a single form of guilt makes me sick. Nice blog, keep it up,

Nice blog...Paris. lol. Um yeah I hate reading about hate crimes and all the stuff. It makes me sick as well. Who cares if someone is a darker skin tone than yours...because all of us white people go tanning to be darker right?
