Two men convicted in the assassination of Malcolm X are set to be exonerated after more than 55 years, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

Muhammad Aziz, 83, and the late Khalil Islam — who spent decades in prison for the crime — will have their convictions tossed on Thursday, following a nearly two-year investigation into the 1965 killing of the civil rights leader.

They’re going to come out, take a look around and asked to be put back in.

The world is even crazier now than they are.

I don’t know much about the conviction of these killers. But, what’s the deal here? Weren’t there many witnesses who witnessed them doing the shooting?

Louis Farrakhan knows who killed Malcom X.

I kid you not.

They obviously had informers embedded in Malcolm X’s organization—but a lot of time has passed....

“I have less patience with someone who doesn’t wear a watch than with anyone else, for this type is not time-conscious. In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.” — Malcolm X

He was on certain things. Not saying he loved Republicans but he knew that liberal Democrats were the biggest threat to black Americans.

I suppose they are all dead now so there is no evidence. Who is next, John Wilkes Booth?

These guys were released from jail in the 80’s. The more time passes from an event, the more sure we are of what happened.

They should be exonerated, for killing a homophobic insurrectionist secessionist.
