2. I hadn't heard about this and it's got me crying. How dare they do this? They should pay heavily for

their indulgence, thinking they were entitled or had such privileges to act with lethality and terrorism, sheer arrogance and cruelty...

To take the life of someone supporting his family and doing the right things is an obscenity, a crime against all that people expect by equal treatment. Those ideas in the 14th were so hard to win and seem to have been dismissed now.

This was so well planned, they are a menace to society and should remain behind bars as long as possible and by that I mean life, and not 'life' minus 'good time.' We're not talking kids or severe mental impairment, these men and women had opportunity and means to do good or evil. They chose.

Wondering if were they college kids, if so was the party was at a frat house?

I only ask this because in my Black History course one day the black women in the class said white men visited black neighborhoods to kidnap and rape black girls. They said it as they did not intend to be believed, and they were furious. I'd never seen it in the news.

I asked my Depression era folks about it. They said it was known in their day that young white men did it as part of fraternity initiation. My family had not be able to afford college, but had to live with people like that.

There is so much in history that is not recorded. My folks were frank about the truth of America, even when it was against the mottos they'd been taught.

I am stunned at the patience of African Americans in this country who are daily being confronted with virulent and deadly racism.
