If Sweden hopes to survive they better find their inner Mississippi.

Obviously they were not going to be found guilty in those times. The DOJ will show klansmen were on the jury, etc. It’s to show that racism is still here in Trump supporters and Trump himself.

Yes, that’s what I was thinking. There is a huge list of people who died “mysteriously” related to Bill & Hillary. Seems like some of those cases would merit another look, instead of this case, which is 63 years old, and everyone related to it has died.

Is that so. And what is your evidence for this? This young man did nothing and was murdered for it. Stop making excuses for murderers.

Nothing excuses that sick brutal action, but everyone involved is over 70 or dead and nothing will bring justice now. They need to solve today’s violence

Ergo “wolf whistled”, not raped.

Or not "raped" but "she seduced a young black kid and when her husband found out, she claimed she was raped and got the kid killed".

There's no point in conjecture here as to whether Till did anything. Some savage men committed a crime that would make a normal person sick to their stomachs. You can't make a case that Till did anything because of the fact that he was butchered and not allowed to testify.

that's what I'm saying....why this murder?...its not like its that unusual.....there are soooo many unsolved or shoved aside murders and nobody revisits them but now this murder gets the white glove treatment....

if there wasn't a white/black component to this murder, it would have no publicity...

as it is, how many blacks are gunned down in chicago weekly for dissing someone?..for looking or catcalling someone's "beotch"?....probably plenty...

I catch your drift, but all Sweeden needs to do is enforce it’s laws and move bad players back to their nation of origin.

What took place here in Mississippi was as bad or worse than most of the Islamic attack’s in Sweeden.

Pulling both eyes out of their sockets and killing the kid over a wolf whistle...

Good grief!

I was born and raised in Mississippi and I believe absolutely nothing regarding cases like these published prior to the internet. In 1955, Mississippi was the American Media’s George Zimmerman. I’m not saying these men were innocent by any stretch, what I am saying is that I believe nothing reported about it.

Or it may show that people were simply afraid to convict. Everybody’s dead and I don’t understand what they think they are going to accomplish. There are many very good books on the subject, a very good documentary I saw several years ago in NYC, so what is the point? Virtue signalling which will accomplish nothing except to inflame ignorant people.

Very sad story. Heartbreaking.

Gotta’ keep those blacks riled up through the summer up to election time.

Gotta’ keep attention away from the constant barrage of evidence about FBI/DOJ criminality, anti-Trump bias, collusion with Hillary and the DNC, manufacturing false evidence and Mueller’s Witchhunt.

“Murder has no statute of limitations.”

And murder is not a federal crime. So why are the federals investigating.

Of course, the alleged crimes do violate many federal civil rights laws - if the crimes were to happen today.

Can today's federal protections be applied retroactively to 1956 - sort of ex post facto?

The announcement that the federal government is “reopening” the investigation will sound good to many people. And many people will look good as they talk about doing something.

It may even shift a few votes toward the person who hires and fires the attorney general. And that ain't all bad.

Reports are that the “White wife” didn’t claim the kid did anything other than whistle at her.

Witnesses said the same thing.

There was a trial, so this stuff was on the record.

The acquittal is “on the record” as well though. Like I say, I believe nothing published about any of it.
