The idiot trump has reestablished open Nazism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, and racial hatred as acceptable behavior here in the United States. And, in his speech during his visit to the U.K. the idiot trump tried to spread his poison condemning immigration into Europe.
Understanding this to be true, it is surprising that after nearly 63 years, the idiot trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, would reopen the case of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black teenager lynched in 1955.
The murder occurred in Money, Mississippi, after Till reportedly whistled at Carolyn Donham, a white woman while both were in a store. Despite the fact that two white men were charged, and later acquitted, no one was ever convicted in his death. Years later, both men confessed to the crime in a paid newspaper interview.
In January 2017, the book “The Blood of Emmett Till” by Timothy B. Tyson was published. In his book, Tyson quotes a 2008 interview in which Donham [the white woman] says that she lied when she testified that the black teen grabbed her, whistled and made sexual advances in a Mississippi store six decades ago. Apparently, after five decades, Donham felt bad that her false testimony about being accosted and lewd sexual advances toward her cost Till his life. According to Tyson’s book, she reportedly said, “Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him.” It’s too bad, she didn’t have a conscience back in 1955 when Till’s brutal murder could have been prevented.
The book’s author told reporters that he was contacted by the FBI weeks after his book was published in January 2017, and he furnished them interview recordings and other research materials. Tyson has little hope that his research alone could lead to new charges, but with evidence already in investigators’ possession, could provide the leads necessary to do so.
Naturally, it was not Sessions’ plan to reopen the case, but with the new information from Tyson’s book, Till’s family gained the power to pressure Sessions onto making a decision on an issue he would have much preferred to ignore.
As the world watches the idiot trump’s “deplorables” push this nation’s sense of honor lower and lower, to see the Till family receive some measure of justice so many years after young Emmet’s death would be gratifying to rational and honorable Americans.
However, the idiot trump’s deplorables will complain and assert any further investigation and prosecution would be a waste of time and money. Their responses to this thread will prove this.
