Four Mississippi teenagers have been charged with murder in the killing of a beloved World War II veteran who gained local fame for his home-cooked hot tamales.
The long and lustrous life of Lawrence “Shine” Thornton, 87, was celebrated last week during a ceremony at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Following the ceremony, Thornton was buried with military honors at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.
Thornton died Oct. 20, succumbing to the injuries he sustained after four teenagers "pushed him down and stole his wallet," during an apparent mugging that occurred in the late-afternoon two days earlier in the driveway of his long-time Greenville home.
Meanwhile, Greenville Assistant Police Chief Andrew Kaho told the Delta Democrat Times that Terrance Morgan, 19; Edward Johnson, 19; Leslie Litt, 18; and Geblonski Murray, 18; were all arrested Monday, and charged with capital murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
And although little is known about the specifics of the run-in that cost Thornton his life, much has reportedly been said about the apparently momentous loss to the delta community.

I wonder how the good people of Mississippi would have handled this 150 years ago?

Yes, because blind hatred based on one's skin color to the point of tying them up and lynching them or burning them alive was so great and a proud part of American history.

Why is this crime different than any of the other similar crimes? Why is race always brought into it? Sometimes you guys get tiring.

Perhaps he was referring to the way justice would be served to 4 scumbags who killed an old man instead of simple racial hatred.

Geblonski Murray? A black dude is named Geblonski Murray? WTF is this country coming to?

He very well may have. It's hard to tell with the predictible Obama's kids comments running through the thread. When that precedent has aleeady been set, it's important to say what you mean lest it be misconstrued.

I think James Holmes could use a rope too. He will probably end up at the state hospital here in Pueblo on my tax dollar. Or maybe some folks think he is innocent too?
If the races were reversed, this would likely be labeled a "hate crime". I wonder why it doesn't work the other way around....? [Sarcasm2]

1: Obama injected himself (and his "possible kids") into the supposed racial tension in this country. So, folks respond. Like it or not.
2: Yes, if the races were reversed, it would have been an "ALERT" on every cable news outlet. But we all know that only white on black crime makes the news.
This isn't news to anyone.

1) Obama did say that, but every time a black person commits a crime against someone, isn't a valid reason to bring up the same ole, "If Obama had a son..." crap.
2) These assholes pushed an old man down to take his wallet. I doubt the reverse happening would be reported as a hate crime.

Nah, a rope would be too expensive, why waste a good rope? A .45 Gold Dot to the back of his head is all that's needed, and I'll be happy to donate one.

1: Yeah, I get that it's overdone, but there are times when it's funny - this isn't one of them. But who's fault is it that it's done at all? Dumb ass POTUS, that's who. Guy just can't keep his mouth shut.
2: Sorry - If 4 white assholes "killed" a black WWII vet for his wallet, this would be the next big hate crime of the decade story to be sure. All of the Jesse Jackson type vampires would exploit it for every dime they could get.
ETA: When are you coming up to Black Hack anyway? Let me know so we can get a beer.
You may be right about #2, but that doesn't mean we need to gripe endless about it every time a black person commits a crime. I'm not defending these assholes; I just don't think we need to sound like assholes over every news piece posted. Okay, I'll leave the thread alone now. Carry on everyone.

What I am saying is hang these guys publicly. And hang that child murderer Austin Sigg with the same rope publicly too. Ammo is too rare and precious due to us being "cared" for by Obama. A nice thick hemp rope...
