KKK re-Trial of murder of civil rights workers

[coda]

The re-trial starts today for KK Klansman Edgar Ray Killen for participation in the 1964 murder of three civil rights worker, Andrew Goodmen, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner, during the Freedom Summer Campaign to get registered black voters in Mississippi. Hopefully, this time justice will be meted out and he can spend his last days behind bars.

A pretty good representation of the murders is detailed in the 1988 movie "Mississippi Burning."

That guys last name is Killen. How... odd.

And not to spoil anyone's anticipation, he'll be let off clean.

Never!!!

Let's hope the fuck not,l atleast.

that other Klan fucker from Mississippi, Byron de la Beckwith, who murdered Medgar Evers in 1963, was retrialed in 1994 and convicted to life and died there recently. So, I have some hope.

there's film of that retrail too, called "Ghosts Of Mississippi" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116410/
