4. Unbearable torture and hatred delivered to a helpless human being. Just as horrifying this moment.

Seems impossible anyone could be that despicable.

I felt George W. Bush owed the world a far more respectful position toward James Byrd's savage betrayal by racists, and his lonely, helpless suffering.

We were only left to feel such sickness, horror, and grief, knowing he didn't have a chance to escape, and his life was simply stolen from him by monsters.

Bush owned it to the world to righteously condemn this hate crome, and to offer consolation to his loved ones. He totally failed.
