    Not sure why it takes a loophole to get it done.
    She admitted to making the whole incident up that led to Till being murdered, one would think that makes her an accessory to kidnapping, if not murder. We're prosecuting low-level folks who worked at the death camps in WWII, seems like we could prosecute her.

    What's real sickening is the guys who did it were found not guilty, then sold the story of how they DID do it for money thanks to the shield they have of double jeopardy.


    It's going to be difficult to go after her as accessory to kidnapping when her lie was "he whistled at me" and the crime happened days afterward. Unless you can prove she had a hand in planning it, nothing will happen to her.

    Hey, if we can prosecute Nazis in their 90s and 100s, we can arrest this bitch too :shrug:

    No, leave her alone. @Federal Farmer has made it very clear that there are no impacts of systemic racism still felt today,

    Not to be a downer, but I'm guessing that in the case of the Nazis, the powers that be belatedly discovered their identities in addition to there (probably) being no such thing as a statute of limitations for war crimes.

    There is a statute of limitations as to accessory to murder (I dunno if you could actually get her for murder proper on the facts as we know them -- that she identified Emmett as whistling at her), and it's not like the identity of this woman hasn't been known for decades. I don't think the fact that a judge signed out a warrant for her decades ago is "new evidence" as such to warrant tolling the statute of limitations.

    But I would love to be proven wrong in this instance.

    I say put the cunt into a sack, drop her in a cesspool, and let her die as slowly as possible.

    While I agree with most of this, get off your fucking high horse. Canada literally raped and killed indigenous children. Humans are assholes everywhere.

    Bitch about white supremacists if you want. Canada has them too.

    "Canada" is a country that as such lacks functional genitalia and is thus incapable of "literally raping" anyone.


    You.

    Stupid.

    Fuck.

    I am going to wait for @Bailey to white knight and complain about treating @Jenee poorly for saying Canada raped and killed indigenous people like you would say america raped and killed the natives and slaves despite it being the people of the country.

    You are going to be consistent and get pissy over that, right? Right? Where are you? Are you sucking albert off in the back of his brokedick heep? You know Jenee will cut a bitch for stealing her man in a shitty tin can.

    Sure, if my motivations were defending Jenee I would.

    But they're not, they're calling out you for being unhealthily obsessed with other posters sex lives.
