...I have no more sympathy for him than I did any of the Nazi's that had managed to hide for decades.

Edited for sloppy grammer mistake

[TwentyFive]

1. Exactly. He committed Hate Crimes!

Make him pay his dues.

[alphafemale]

4. I don't understand the logic that escaping justice for decades negates...

horrible crimes.

He murdered people in cold blood and has lived decades of freedom.

[maveric]

2. Has Rush, Hannity, Savage... come to this guy's defense yet?

I'm wondering if any of these nazi/neocon pundits have been sympathetic to this fucking monster.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Fuck sympathy for this bastard

He's a klansmen and a "preacher." (Lynch on saturday night, praise the lord on Sunday!) He's a leading figure in the republican party. Who knows what the jury will decide but if there is a God he will burn in hell for eternity. He is evil incarnate and a dyed in the wood member of the christian right which is hell bent to destroy our country.

[Rowdyboy]

5. Age and frailty in no way mitigates the evil he purpetrated...

He helped butcher 3 men who were fighting for basic human rights in a very hostile and dangerous atmosphere. He destroyed multiple families, cost at least one child a father, one wife a husband, and left a hideous stain on my home states honor that can never be erased. I share that shame, even though I was a child at the time, and I want some small vindication for the families and for justice.

He should have been in prison these last 40 years. Instead, he has had the prime of his life, walking free with family and friends, if he has any. Hopefully, at least, his final years will be spent behind bars in Parchman prison (trust me-its a hell-hole). I know of no one more deserving to die alone, uncared for, in misery.

6. He's been able to live a life he denied to the three he slaughtered

Justice is long overdue

[whalerider55]

7. an appointment

i really wonder how anxious the good ol' boy is for that true day of reckoning that's a'comin'...

i don't mean armageddon, i mean when he has to review his deeds to the great arbiter of justice in the sky....

he's gonna have some 'splainin' to do...

9. Nobody ever escapes the "ultimate" justice.

Be it "Judgement Day" or Karma or being Reincarnated into a really bad life...

Nobody ever gets away with something so horrific.

[whalerider55]

10. got that right

alph...

"I believe in the sun when it isn't shining,
I believe in love even when feeling it not.
I believe in G-d even when G-d is silent".

(prayer of a holocaust victim)


seems to me like G is about to speak. And that good ol' boy won't have a lot to say for hisself.

8. No sympathy

It's just a shame that justice took this long. He should have been in jail all this time. But, better late than never.

[warrens]

11. How much would it cost me to be the one to pull the trap door?

Fucking motherfucking motherfucker. I want him to die in the same pain as his victims.

[mopaul]

12. at LEAST he'll die in jail, like byron delay beckwith, his fellow klannie

[FLPolitico]

13. I'm an African American but I feel as though

this trial is a waste of time. I believe in karma and if Killen commited these crimes then he has hadto love with his conscience for the last 41 years and he will die and go and spend eternity in Hell so I don't lose sleep over people like him.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Not a waste of time for the murdered family members.

[alphafemale]

15. I'm not sure he has a conscience or that he's contrite or sorry.

He's full of smiles and looks certain nobody will hold this "poor old man" accountable.

He murdered those young men for registering people to vote.

edit - typo

[Rowdyboy]

16. I respect your opinion, but the families deserve justice on earth....

They may not share your beliefs and they have suffered the gravest loss imagineable.

[alphafemale]

17. Okay...I've been holding back...Look at that Adam's Apple.

Look like anyone we know?

[Gold Metal Flake]

18. Yeeesss. Yes, look at the face of what Redneck really means.

No mercy.

No

Mercy

If these fuckers are convicted on their deathbeds, if their last breath is exhaled as they are cuffed to be taken to prison, it matters not.

There is no need for hate, but there is no need for pity either.
