Revette entered a guilty plea in April, in which he admitted to going to a majority-Black neighborhood in Seminary, Mississippi, to burn crosses. He said that he and accomplice Graham Williams, who’d also pleaded guilty, constructed the cross using materials from Revette’s home then burned it near the homes of African-Americans in the area, including the home of a juvenile victim.
Both men said they carried out the racist practice in an attempt “threaten, frighten and intimidate” Black residents because of their race and color.
“Those who instill fear and terror into our neighbors and our fellow citizens because of the color of their skin will face the full weight and force of the law from the U.S. attorney’s office,’ Mike Hurst, U.S. attorney for Southern Mississippi, said in a statement from the Justice Department. “There is absolutely no place in our society or our country for this type of behavior, and we will do all that we can to prevent these racist acts and bring to justice those who are intent on committing these crimes

18 years already. She was 21; should be 39. 
this club nobody should ever be admitted to, forced in by tragedy. Bekah was crossing the street and her killer drove on the wrong side of the street to kill her, dragged her body down the road about the length of a football field, left her to die and went home and went to sleep. she was charged with murder but then made a plea bargain and got off with a 4 year sentence, spending only 2 yrs 3 months in prison.
so whenever i see something like this whether i want to or not, i think, nobody died. yes he committed an egregious crime, but 11 years does seem excessive to me.
our children are not chopped liver!
