Now here is some good news!
PHILADELPHIA, Miss. (AP) -- A judge sent Edgar Ray Killen back to prison Friday after finding that the former Ku Klux Klan leader, convicted for the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers, was in better health than the court had been told.

Four law enforcement officers and a convenience store owner testified they had seen Killen driving during the past two weeks. But at an August court hearing, the 80-year-old sawmill owner and preacher had testified he was in constant pain and confined to a wheelchair.

Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon decided to revoke the $600,000 bond that had allowed Killen to remain free while appealing his manslaughter convictions. He spent 53 days in prison, in between his June conviction and being released on bond Aug. 12.

Gordon -- who presided over Killen's trial and set the appeal bond -- said he couldn't understand how Killen could have limited use of his legs and right arm one week, and be able to drive two weeks later.

''That's incredible to me. I feel fraud was committed on the court,'' Gordon said.

3. That fucker should hang from a rope with his balls in his mouth

and I don't want to hear any of that "Oh, oh, he's a human being" crap from the hug-a-thug crowd.

Not a human being. A monster.

He needs to be disposed of.

4. What a shame he wasn't in there decades ago.

I hope time weighs heavily on his hands.

What a shame, sacrificing the lives of others to your idiotic, baseless, unfounded, cowardly hatred.

It takes a fool to kidnap unsuspecting, unarmed people who are trying to help the people you and your ugly friends want to bully, and take them, simply by threatening to shoot them if they don't comply, to where they can't get away, to torture and murder them.

It's a shame Killen was allowed to roam free, poluting the world this long. What's worse: there are more like him.
