KLANSMEN - GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
I'm happy to present this news from Mississippi this morning.

http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070615/NEWS/706150392

43 years after the crime, a member of the KKK is brought to justice for abducting and killing two black teens in Mississippi. It took the jury about two hours. The defense is very disappointed. The defendant could face life in prison.

This news will result in great sadness in conservative klaverns throughout the country (including the one in the white house.)

1. This prick is a killer. A murderer.
The same people that long for the days of the plantation in the south think this piece of dung should be given a break because it was so long ago. I live in the south and hear it all the time. Racism is still alive. It has evolved into a subversive and secretive thing but it is still here. :dem:

2. One of his defense attorneys was really whining on the radio this AM
and of course, there was the obligatory reference to his poor grieving family. I was a little surprised at how fast the jury got to a verdict. It usually takes two hours to figure out the seating arrangement. The jury done good.

3. Excellent news. Thanks for sharing. Too bad it took so long for
justice to come around in this case but I am glad to hear that it finally did.

6. Oh I'd love that
Christian Conservative pardons klansmen found guilty of a heinous crime. bush says this is just another example of christians being persecuted (and prosecuted) in Merka and justice must be done.
