I'm not sure what you are getting at but I hope you realize that there is a difference between having a "different sexual orientation" (i guess you are talking about gays and lesbians?), different religious belief, and BEING A RACIST.

 

THE POINT IS THAT NOBODY GIVES A RATS A$$ FOR THIS GUY..... That should sum it for you and anyone else. No we don't feel sorry if he had a fair trail or not. No we don't care that it tuck 40 years. Better late than never.... Do You feel bad that this prick wasn't treated with justice???????????? I certainly don't.

 

No there isn't if you discriminate on any of these grounds you are the same as a racist. Intolerant of those that are different than yourself and if you treat those people differently you're doing the same thing.

 

Its not that we care about this guy. We do care about justice for all. No one cared for the jews either.....

 

I see now what you are saying. For some reason, I thought you meant exactly opposite. Anyways, that is exactly what he did: discriminating against the victims based on their belief. Only in this case, he played a major role in murdering those people who happened to have different belief than he. The fact that this event happened some 40 years ago does not make his crime any less serious. It appears that there were plenty of convincing evidence to convict this guy and the justice has been served.

 

The issue is that while hes being a racist were damning him for his beleifs, right or wrong. People get very emotionally wrapped up in stuff. This one seems to have a lot of people going. Logically speaking our intolerance of him is the same as his. Well we're doing it in the name of all thats good at least in the majorities opinion. However we all even this pig have a right to a belief system. If this had been a random none racist motivated case he wouldn't be pronced infront of the court room to make the prosecuter look good. That's selective justice, justice must be blind and work within a set of common sense rules.. Now if he did the crime fine but 40 years is fishy. Or is it that we just don't care about justice in a timely mannor any longer? Either way OJ and MJ DNA evidence witnesses and the like and they get off but this guy..... Racists can't get a fair trial anywhere.

 

He's 80 he was not incarcerated for most of his life . He has medical issues now for which he will be cared for in jail . He's having the last laugh now. Free medical care!

As for Leroy having his way with him in jail, this ain't the movies it won't happen . The races tend to stay together in prison (friend of mine is in law enforcement -prison related). He will be protected by those in sympathy with him or kept in a medical ward.

Bottom line he got off scott-free if he was involved.

Racism sucks but that's life, was that way during the time of Moses and will continue to be long after we are fertilizer. Want to be accepted or better yet treated well , become wealthy. You may still be "victimized" but since people want your money it will be subtle or behind your back.

Life ain't fair but consider the alternative !

 

You make it sound like we are just forcing our belief/opinion (which happens to be that held by the "majority" of us in this day and age) on him and that is the only reason why he is being punished some 40 years later. I don't agree with that.

The argument that he is entitled to his belief system "right or wrong" simply does hold water. Preaching of hatred as he did back than is simply wrong and evil and should not be tolerated in any shape or form. Can we legally forcefully stop people like him from preaching his hatred? Probably not. But I guarantee you that you won't go too far living with others having a messed up belief "system" like he did...especially in this day and age.

Selective justice? Hardly. Had he stopped at just preaching his hatred, legally we won't have anything to convict him. However, all the evidence show that he was actively involved in the murder of those people. And he is being punished for it. Even if his victims were white, he should be punished just the same. There is nothing selective about this.

 

Hatred is wrong and evil isn't it hypocritical too. oke:

 

I recall reading a quote from the foreman of the jury....it was something like "on one hand we knew he had to be convicted, but on the other hand the state did not present enough evidence"



The jury wanted to convict him....


it was a media circus not a trial. He couldnt of won as soon as it started.



the sheer rediculousness of many peoples assertions in this thread boggles my mind...


saying "because he is racist it doesnt matter if he is in jail" is the same as saying "the murders dont matter because they were trying to give black people help"
