Emmett Till protesters STORM senior living facility in search of woman accused of setting lynch mob on him after 1955 warrant for her arrest is unearthed in Mississippi courthouse

Emmett Till protesters stormed a senior living facility in search of the woman who has been accused of setting a lynch mob on him after a 1955 arrest warrant was unearthed in a Mississippi courthouse.

Carolyn Bryant Donham, now in her 80s, of Raleigh, North Carolina, reportedly accused Till of whistling at her in a grocery store in Money, Mississippi, in 1955.

A week later, the 14-year-old Till was abducted, tortured, fatally shot and dumped into the Tallahatchie River, where his body was found swollen and mutilated three days later. His open casket shocked the nation.

Donham's husband, Roy Bryant, and half-brother, JW Milam, were arrested for his lynching, but later acquitted. The pair eventually admitted guilt, but couldn't be prosecuted due to double-jeopardy laws.

Last week, the unserved arrest warrant for Donham was found in the basement of a Mississippi courthouse, causing Till's family and activists to once again call for justice.

These bastards give so much good reason to hate them.

Yet they keep crying that no one should ever hate for any reason. (Unless it’s whitie.)

Kind of ironic they are acting like a wannabe lynch mob.

These people are only effective in mobs and love to pick on the vulnerable.

They sure make it easy to use that word.............cause it fits.

it would be interesting to see what happened if they found her old and decrepit in a wheel chair surrounding her and terrorizing her. I am not sure it would play out the way that they want in social media.

Shoot every last one of them dead.

Leave the bodies to rot.

Till's disrespectful behavior set in motion a chain of unfortunate events. This was way before Twitter and Facebook. Who knows if this woman had any role in this episode. Too bad Till's mother never taught him good manners. Simple good manners would have saved a whole lot of heartache for everyone involved.

“A week later, the 14-year-old Till was abducted, tortured, fatally shot and dumped into the Tallahatchie River...”

And you and Billy Joe was throwing something off the Tallahatchie Bridge...

Formed a lynch mob to go do some lynching, have they?

If they do find her, then what? Are they going to drag her out of her hospital bed, wheelchair, disconnect any tubes and pull her out by her hair and string her up right there?

People are not thinking this through. Protests should be happening at the police stations nearby, or the capital, not at a senior living center.

If the arrest warrant is valid, she should be arrested. If she is well enough to be extradited to MS, she should be. If she is capable of participating in her own defense, she should go on trial for whatever crimes apply.

These people are a lynch mob and are out for a pound of flesh - LITERALLY. They want to lynch an 88 year old woman and I don't know they will be all that careful in making sure they have the right one.

Democrat justice.

If she was still in control of all of her faculties chances are most witnesses who are still alive both defense and prosecution don’t.
