The killers of Christian and Newsome were animals.
1955 was a different era. Emmett Till's murderers were closer to, if not, ordinary citizens. Till's murder resonates more with that of Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner.
Till's murderer's walked free and bragged about it.
Lemaricus Davidson was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Letalvis Cobbins and George Thomas were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole (Thomas' sentence was later reduced). Vanessa Coleman has been convicted of facilitating the crimes and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Eric Boyd was convicted of federal charges as accessory after the fact to carjacking and sentenced to 18 years in prison.
The lesson of Till was the lack of a fair judicial system for blacks accused by whites in 1955 in Mississippi. There wasn't even a fair judicial system in 1964, when Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner were murdered for signing up blacks to vote.
Christian and Newsome are a case of inhumane killers who were brought to justice. I don't consider convicting criminals the same thing as giving them a complete pass, as in the Till case.
“Christian and Newsome are a case of inhumane killers who were brought to justice. I don’t consider convicting criminals the same thing as giving them a complete pass, as in the Till case. “
I agree.
But racist hatred fuel both crimes. And the Corrupt Liberal Media that ignores the overwhelming evidence of it in thousands of violent black on white crimes is just as corrupt as the jury that let Tills murderers walk.
