Black-on-black crime. I’m surprised that it’s being reported.

For once I agree with Jesse Jackson. These people should be punished harshly. The p[unichment should fit the crime. Bury them in one of the stolen gravesites.

The people who did this are disgusting. They should get the maximum sentence!

My mother’s remains were spread in a rose garden in Bakersfield. A year later a downpouring rain washed them away. I couldn’t find a lawyer who would listen to my case.

A visibly shaken Rev. Jesse Jackson....

For this I'll allow him all the latitude in the world. It is his bailiwick after all.

It's the Chicago way!!!”

As a complete aside, the story motivated me to read up on Emmett Till on Wikipedia. While he was murdered and it may well have been a racially motivate murder, I just can’t see how you describe what happened to him as lynching.

Basically, he got fresh with a 21 year old white married woman (the exact nature of his transgression is in dispute) in the Delta in 1955. When her husband found out he and her brother took him out in a field, beat him and shot him and threw him in the river. How this is a “lynching”, i.e., extrajudical execution, is beyond me. Black men get murdered by other Black all the time for more or less the same thing.

I’ll bet that ACORN registered all of them to vote before they were disposed of.

I can’t believe they would disenfranchise so many solid Obama voters in the state of Illinois.

I can't quit you baby, but I might put you down in this other hole.

Okay, yeah, a little tasteless, but this caper is seriously twisted and sick. Obviously the crooks involved have enhanced their chances for a Senate seat, or maybe the governor's mansion.
