James Byrd was killed in the most horiffic and savage manner that I know of. Nobody imagines a crime like beating a man unconscious, having his legs chained, and the chain tied to the bumper of a pickup and dragged along a rural country road ever happening here in the U.S. Crimes like that occur in third world countries like Somalia.
i feel for the family of both parties... but i disagree with the courts decision.. i do no not believe in the death penalty.. who are we to take a life.. i have put myself in the position of the Byrd family an i as well would demand the death penalty against the defendant but... that still doesn't make it right..
LAWRENCE RUSSEL BREWER IS BEING EXECUTED NOW!!!! HE'S ONE OF THE 3. HE'S IN MY TOWN WITH ABOUT 5 BLOCKS GUARDED AROUND THE PRISON FOR THE EXECUTION!!!
Sickening to think of, but I hate the way that the media makes byrd seem to be a troubled man. So what did he deserve to die because he had a criminal record "NO". But lets focus on who he was instead of what happened to him. I'm glad to see more encouragement the discouragement here. God will have the final say so. Repent and embrace the Lord Jesus.
people still go on about how terrible a crime this was,and yet there have been countless cases of black on white brutality that have received barely any news coverage at all.Our liberal media has done its job well.It has deliberately promoted the myth that all white people are born haters of blacks and are "supremists" or "nazis" even though a little investigation often reveals that this is not the case.They have likewise downplayed the savagery of black on white assaults in the news media
y did they give bullet proof vests to one of the people who were charged with murdering innocent mr. byrd? the victim didn't have any protection when they beat him and dragged him to death.
We all have the same organs and bones. We both start with putting one leg in our pants. May God guide his family and guide all people. Nobody deserves a cruel unexpected death like that. God bless..
yall WHITE TRAILER TRASHE BITCHES are jealous because us black people are better than yall in everything..!! YALL WEAK AND SCARED of black people..!! anytime you do sum shit like this you hoes do it in groups..!! but i bet you cum to mii house n do sum shit like dat! ima empty my clip on all you white bitches and thats gone go down in history..! i got a bullet for everybody who want one..!! n im in ms and ii beat up on white boys all da time cuz dey weak ass punks who is scary and have lice..lol
I'm obviously not from america and have lived most of my life in my home country of SCotland so have never heard of this event. Its sad to say that too many such events occur through out the world that media just cant keep up. Its like trying to get a child to count the grains of sand on a beach, with no help.
The penalty should be eye for eye (and multiplied if possible). So in this case - chain them up and drag them down a road - but not 3 miles - 3000 miles - LA to New York, slowly - 1 mile per day over 10 years - enough to survive but be permanently on the edge of death for 10 years. And have TV crews driving alongside broadcasting to the world while we all laugh at them.
Take a pliers and start taking them apart, starting with the toes. Long and slow. Let them sleep over night and pick up were you left off the next day. White supremest can hide around all the 'I gotta a right to' laws you want. But in the end, you are all still wrong and you will pay. If not here on earth, then eventually somewhere. Trust me, you will' pay. Change your ways now.
If this took place in some part of Africa, people would be so enraged that they would personally hunt down the family members of the culprits and saw their heads off with a kitchen knife.
We heard this story in a class at school. All three teachers cried and it was completely silent for the whole class except for the teacher telling the story, we are 8th graders.
All three of them should be put in a den with 3 hungry black bears and mauled to death and eaten. I believe they should suffer and if I were a family member I would stand there and watch and laugh my ass off as they struggle horribly while flesh and bone are being ripped apart. I wouldn't bring my loved ones back, but I would have closure watching them suffer and die and be able to move on with my life.
@luvs2teach00 Byrd's son and daughter, Ross and Renee, actually went to visit Shawn Allen Berry in prison. The first thing they did was pray together, and then they had a long discussion. Ross is quoted as having found the experience to be rewarding and relieving. It's a much better type of closure to know that you are forgiving than to be vengeful.
To make the murderers suffer that same sort of pain makes you no better than they are.Besides, why not let them endure the knowledge of their crime?
don't worry, they're back in prison with a lifetime of probably being forced to suck another inmates weiner from other inmates.I really don't think they'll be living the good life.lol.hahaha.
reading some of the comments I'm wondering why more information is needed and even more disturbing - there's an argument about it - why? If it was not self defense then what's the argument? They MURDERED him because he was black - murder is an offense that isn't very defendable, especially when the victim is clearly out numbered. so how about a cup of STFU and a tip of grow the hell up to sweeten....cheers
death penalty is not enough for this crime that this 3 assholes committed- with no justified reason of killing byrd because of his color- they should like face to face one on one if they think they are better assholes than the black guy- cowards- good luck in ur funerals guys-
It appears that I am the one who will now have to speak in "retard."
-"im not saying to let them out of jail." I was pointing out that I in no was said you were, yet again you fail to understand simple communications.
-"The black population in jail will punish them just as much as the death sentence"
So you believe that their punishment should be dealt to them by prisoners as opposed to the penal system? (Hint: Penal isn't just a funny word people of low IQ laugh at.)
Oh don't worry about translation. Your complete slaughter of English was close enough to "retard" for me to understand. I did not misconstrue your first comment as supporting releasing them from jail, just how hilarious it was that you compare punishment for murder to punishing your children.
Great analogy. Your children will probably grow up to be outstanding people after you continue to let them hit other children and just trust that their guilt for the action will teach them a lesson.
those 3 people are stupid!!! Seriously!!!! If they so REALLY felt like doing that low life shit it shoul've at least be 1 on 1 !!!!
cause if they Seriously think they are better than other races
Then why the hell did it take 3 white people to kill 1 black guy!!!!!!! cuz they're not strong enough they need help of 2 people, a car, and a chain !!!! ( no ofense anyone!!! )
God bless Mr. James Byrd and his family.Its sad to think that racist,ignorant animals are still walking this earth today.God will handle all of you hateful, sick bigots.
I am so saddened over what has happened to this innocent man, but I am proud of how the Byrd family represented themselves in this film and it is my sincere hope that they will continue to advocate for human rights...
bigtxdaddy1975, you need to get over yourself. The only thing that matters is that this was a hideous crime that revolted people the world over! Any 'missing info' as you like to call it is totally irrelevant as to pursue that line of thinking suggests you are somehow trying to mount a defense for what happened. There is no background information that could make this case any less disgusting. They should all rot in hell.
Info that matters not hardly. I'm from this area I know what went down that night yea it was aweful I admit but the media did not shine the whole light on the subject nor will they ever.
Its funny though everytime a white man kills a black man everyone screams racism. But when a black man kills a white man its justified. Shit makes me sick
bigtxdaddy You make me puke. Did your little innocent buddies not have a chance to testify? What had the guy done, whistle at a caucasian woman? (Like Emmett Till?)
You could get by with that shit back in the dark ages of the 1950's..try it nowadays, pal and you can join your compadres on death row. I am caucasian and if this were done to one of my sons, I would take their killers on a little joyride myself...no court no cops
We all know the only info that matters. Fuck those racist pigs. Death was too good for those two that were executed. I hope Berry gets prison raped by every black man in his facility every day for the rest of his life.
I remember when I heard this. I had hoped I heard it wrong. How did these mental sick freaks fall through the cracks for so long? What kind of "freak parents" enable this sick behavior?
Instead, I'll focus on the good people in this story. Mr. James Byrd, Jr. is sitting in God's lap and going anywhere to any universe his spirit so pleases. His spirit is free and no harm can come to Mr. Byrd, ever! He watches his beautiful family, because he can only be so proud of all that he accomplished!
James Byrd was killed in the most horiffic and savage manner that I know of.
