ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — One of three men convicted of killing Malcolm X 45 years ago has been granted release from weekends in prison in his 17th appearance before a state parole board.”

I’m surprised he lived this long...

One of Malcolm X’s killers was a black guy?

Just his luck that he killed a black man.

That’s a hate crime, right?

Hagan was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison in April 1966 for shooting the civil rights leader at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan.

Geriatric releases, even for "life w/o parole" sentences aren't really that uncommon. It is almost a final punishment of sorts as the elderly prisoner, after being fully institutionalized, now has to fend for himself out in a world he doesn't know during his final days.

Three Black Muslims were later convicted of the murder.

Do the math folks: Obama is president, Obama who is down with Wright, who is down with Farrakhan who admitted he created the atmosphere of violence--he railed about the righteousness of killing Malcolm--

--who had said the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a "case of chickens coming home to roost".

We've heard that somewhere. . . .

It said he had been spending weekends in prison for the last twenty-two years. The other five days a week he spent working a job and living with his family.

I’d never heard of that kind of arrangement lasting that long.

February would have been more appropriate.

Malcom X is what happens when you reinvent yourself over and over.

Eventually the past catches up to you.
