  • Any white group, or Black group condoning an act such as this, are just not human. Everyone has the right to live.

  • What ever happened to old fashion bullet to the head. Sure its messy but leasts its quick and not deranged as dragging someone to death.

  • Least the killers are rotting in hell since they got executed. Time to get over it.

  • I Live in jasper and we are over this

  • The comments are ridiculous. I live in Jasper... things have changed A LOT.

  • i live in jasper, and this still haunts our city, many blacks i know are even scared to drive on the road. who is so cold as to take peace of mind away from jasper texas citizens? R.I.P, AND MAY GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER THE FAMILY WHO HAS SUFFERD THIS TRAGIC LOSS.

  • I remember when this happen I live not far from Jasper and I still get scared when I go down there. It's scary to think that a quite little town were I spent sometime with family is now a place I don't like going to anymore.

  • I see all these awful comments on this. Whites aren't bad, blacks aren't bad, no single one race is bad. It's just people in general. There are bad people everywhere that do awful things. Why is everyone attacking the other races? Look inside other people. Never judge a book by it's cover. You do that and you'll be surprised how many wonderful, kind people you will meet. Instead of saying the things I'm reading on here. Let's all say "Fuck the heartless killers". I think that's more appropriate.

  • @ruler1978 son, there are white people that need a good ole fashioned talking to before a colored .

  • @ushouldntjudgeme this happened cause the white boy's got a pencil for a dick.

  • @ruler1978 you need a hug reeeeel bad, son.
