"A shocking act of violence attracted international attention and split the town over questions of truth and justice. Grand Marais is still trying to piece itself back together."

Hurt Me to my Heart, couldn't imagine what he went thru and Emmett Tills mother & family went thru.
I love how his mother tells about his upbringing and his personality,I close my eyes & can see the bright days she had with her son.
Until those Monsters in Mississippi murdered him #hate#murder#racistbastards#cowards
Fucking Mississippi,racism runs deep in this country,it's so imbedded in the fabric of this nation,not only Mississippi but every damn state in the Union
"[Greg Abbott's nullification of a jury's convication of Daniel Perry for murder] was a gross injustice in a former Confederate state that reeked of the bad old days of Southern jury nullification, a modern update on the impunity with which white men lynched Emmett Till and then laughed at justice."
Whitney Mitchell, who was engaged to Foster before his death at the hands of Perry, laid out her feelings about the pardon in a statement sent to the Observer.
“I loved Garrett Foster. I thought we were going to grow old together. He was the love of my life. He still is. I am heartbroken by this lawlessness,“ she said. “With this pardon, the Governor has desecrated the life of a murdered Texan and US Air Force veteran, and impugned [the] jury’s just verdict. He has declared that Texans who hold political views that are different from his—and different from those in power—can be killed in this State with impunity.”

#Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Thurs he was pardoning #DanielPerry, the fmr Army sergeant convicted in the fatal shooting of a protester during a #BLM march, after a review board recommended he be released from prison.
#Fortson’s death reflects a continuing pattern seen in countless other cases where innocent #BlackPeople have been killed by #police in their homes in recent years, often by officers responding to the wrong address or using #deadlyForce inappropriately.
What is happening nowadays?
Shocked after seeing this.
A horrifying incident unfolded in Houston, Texas, as a trans woman was caught ramming a man with her car, kissing his lifeless body, then stabbing him.
A boy stands on a Tul Karm street watching as Israeli troops move toward the city's refugee camp. Soldiers fire shots from hundreds of meters away and one of their bullets slams into the boy's chest. Qais Nasrallah was 14 at his death
And how other senior officers and politicians covered it up.
A dreadful account of actions that can not be excused even in war, suspected for a long time and demonstrated/prosecuted in Australia as well.
More evidence, as if any were needed, that people have lost their goddamned minds.
“Oh sure they brutally murdered those women. But did they abuse them? We demand to know!“
Never mind this was one of the most thoroughly documented atrocities of all time.
I’m old enough to remember when these Hamas cockroaches sent a 22-y-o kid to blow himself up at a party primarily attended by teenaged Russian Jewish émigrés. (2001) Is there no degradation, no foul act, to which one could not imagine them stooping?
But credulous American academics want to wash the blood off of their hands. #Hatred has made these people insane. Or the other way around; can’t say for sure.
