Anyone else thought that the Killen shit might be a diversion?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Just a question.

1. I think it's a long overdue trial.

2. Absolutely.

Clearly the white racist juries that cleared him in the 1960's knew he'd make a perfect media distraction in June, 2005.

3. Kitten shit?

I thought you said Kitten shit, perhaps a diversion. I thought maybe he's onto something. There are alot of kitten threads, and they are very cute, and lots more fun than all the worldwide mayhem and sadness. But on the intended Killen subject; of course it's a diversion.

[Horse with no Name]

4. No.

The "Killen shit" is justice that is long overdue.
It is a trial we should have watched and discussed more than the Jacko trial.

On October 6, 2004 approximately 500 people marched in support of state prosecution of former Klan preacher Edgar Ray Killen for the murder of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. Killen, now 79, escaped conviction in 1967 when a lone juror refused "to convict a preacher." Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, asked about the efforts to gain an indictment of Killen, said that he would not be pressured by emotion to reopen the old case. "This is going to be about facts," he said in an interview with Ryan Clark of the Clarion-Ledger. Killen offered no comment about public efforts to gain his conviction
