justice in mississippi

"let's go fuck with some niggers" --- now he's about to start serving two life-terms for murder --- will this shit never end? but if nothing else, at least they're convicting a white man for killing a black man, something unheard of in mississippi and all across the south until very late in the twentieth century --- the judge spoke for many, i'm sure when he said:

Your prejudice has brought shame upon you and placed a great stain on the state of Mississippi. ... There is no excuse you can offer to the family of Mr. Anderson, or to your fellow Mississippians who have to try to reconcile the horrible damage you have caused. All the hard work we have done to move our state forward from that earthen dam in Neshoba County to here has been stained by you. A stain which will take years to fade. ... To those assembled here and watching this, know that this craven act isn't who we are.

just so very sad --- oh, and the family of the victim doesn't want a death penalty
