Mississippi jury refuses to indict for civil rights era murder:

A last hope of justice over one of the most painful episodes in the racial history of the US was apparently lost yesterday when a Mississippi grand jury refused to issue an indictment for the killing of Emmett Till, the teenager whose murder 50 years ago galvanised the civil rights movement.

It is pretty sad in this age that people (memyo & themax) would make light of the murder of a 14 year old boy. And, yes it was the KKK, typical accepted behavior FIFTY YEARS AGO. I can't believe supposedly educated people would even make posts like those. Oh, I forgot, one did say he was from Mississippi...

Yeah Boy, Don't you just love Mississippi. If you ever watch that Mississippi Burning and watch that big old fat homely girl with buck teeth, listening to the wizard of the KKK. As the wizard of the KKK says "I just love Mississippi" and she holds her hands up as if she was praising God saying "yes, yes" as if she was having spasms. Yep, wrap yourself in your rebel flag, go to church on Sunday, to hate and kill on Monday. Roll on Mississippi as you are a sad case.



You said>>> ROLL ON MISSISSIPPI Keep you're head up and you're flag flying. >>>> You stole these lines from the right wing talk shows>>>>If you don't like the way we do things in Mississippi. (MOVE to IRAQ)you also need to correct >>> you said>>>>you're and it should be your<<<<<<

Duh? What are you, a 3rd grader or something? We know it's 2007, that's what makes this so ridiculous. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. You are the mental midget that seems to condone that sort of thing. You need to get your head out of your *** and face reality and GROW UP!

PBA: ENOUGH ALREADY! Who do you think you are the AP wire? You have clogged this board with newstories like you were Walter Cronkite himself. I don't know about everyone else, I vowed to ignore you but this is getting to the point of ridiculous! GO TO A NATIONAL BOARD AND LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE! There are plenty out there. You obviously don't know or don't care what is happening in the Shoals area and I for one will tell what I know A LOT of posters are wishing, that you would disappear! THE DOG

Do you even know what an indictment is ?

Contrary to the views from Hollywood, every white man raised in the south is not a racist, rightwing member of the KKK.

I would tend to think the people on the grand jury in Mississippi probably know more about it than you.

"Jury, we don't need no stinkin jury". You can get all the facts you need from the newspapers.

Let me see if I get this straight.
You call members of a grand jury in Mississippi rightwing KKKers. I point out that they probably know more about it than you (true,unless you're a member of this grand jury). And you thank GOD you don't think like me. Roll Eyes


I'll ask again. Do you know what an indictment is ?

Which is more likely, they didn't indict be cause they're all members of the KKK ?
Or they didn't indict because of lack of evidence?

The KKK. yeah right.
Most everyone involved is either dead or soon will be. Even the prosecutors weren't sure they had enough evidence.

Kindred, you may not have noticed it, but part of my campaign to rid the board of the troll PBA was to copy and paste my reply to EVERY post. THAT is one of the reasons all of yesterdays posts are on this page. I think I may be making a dent, I don't notice but one or two new CNN type post by PBA today! One shot for newsgroup freedom. LOL I'll tie a yellow ribbon around my monitor! THE DOG
