Connecticut is one step closer to exonerating the victims of the state's witch trials of the 17th century.
Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz joined advocates and historians for a panel discussion Wednesday on the importance of this resolution. Top Stories
This comes after the state Judiciary Committee voted to advance a bill that would acknowledge the innocence of 34 residents who were convicted of witchcraft.
Panelists say exoneration represents the state's remorse for past injustices, especially to women.
"The Connecticut witch trials are not a story of witchcraft. They are a story of something much more sinister, a deep-rooted misogyny that has plagued our country for centuries," said Bysiewicz.
The House and Senate will add the bill to their calendars for a vote.
Are these people exonerating the women because they weren’t engaging in witchcraft, or because they think witchcraft is good?
Probably the latter.
Libtards will exonerate the Jan 6 prisoners in the year 2480
Ms. Alice “Alse” Young, hung in 1642, was the 1st victi. of those trials.
Her’s is one of mamy “named bricks” around the Salem, Massachusetts memorial.
Ms. Young came from Windsor, CT.
Connecticut was not a state back then.
A colony under British rule and record.
First World problems.
Never let facts get in the way of a leftist.
Every descendant or living relative of those poor people should get $25 million in reparations. And a free house. And a 250 year guaranteed income of $100,000 per year.
The Salem witch trials were an attack on the real Christians in Salem by a real witch, Tituba, who talked the other girls into “describing” the made up demonic attacks on them. They focused on people of good and strong character who they felt were the greatest danger to themselves. There isn’t a lot of difference in the hysteria these girls conjured up and the hysteria that the “trans-activists” are trying to drum up. All in the sake of bringing attention and glory to themselves, their own little gods.
No witches died in Salem, only good and honorable people who never denied Christ, no matter how much pain was inflicted on them, Giles Cory being the most well known.
More of those victims were framed, but the whole businss was shaky, because it was a time of hysteria.
Dems. Always focused on the most pressing issues of the day.
But, 5 Mill reparations now!
dang, u beat me.
And I underestimated!
So brave! Going back 400 years to rectify a politically correct issue which hasn’t existed since the 1600s!
I have wondered if any of those convicted of being “witches” might have been schizophrenics or had some other kind of serious mental illness.
IF that’s all they got to be concerned with in this day and age, they have waaaaaayyyy too much time and money.
To late.
I’m sure that’s their most pressing concern
What the actual f***?!?! This is what concerns the CT government? Seriously I cannot take this insanity any longer.
