- ABC News' Linsey Davis speaks with two of Emmett Till's cousins, Rev. Wheeler Parkers, Jr. and Ollie Gordon, about the Justice Department’s decision to close the investigation into Till's death.
The system failed them horribly!! The fact that people lied with no consequences and admitted to doing this horrid act says a lot!!
This System Constantly Fails Black Americans 🤷🏾♂️
Funny how "Justice" that's supposed to be blind, Clearly See's Innocent When The Perp is W
Facts!!
We we're brought here to build "the system", not to benefit from it!

What crime did he commit??
Mamie Till was the true definition of strength. Its disgusting that over 60 years later that no one had to answer for that horrific crime.
She had that right attitude to over come the hate, but IDK if I could. I get angry every time I hear his name. But you do reap what you sow, and I believe even her children's, children's children will feel it.
@@angiehunter6835 i totally agree im not too sure that I would've behaved in such a poised manner either. I don't care how many times I've heard this story it breaks my heart everytime
There's a Judgement day after this life. Trust me they won't get away with it 🙏
@@angiehunter6835 THIS comment. You don't do people wrong in life because as you stated; if the person that committed the crime does not reap anything than it will definitely come back on generations down the line. You can't escape God's punishment. Those men and the woman responsible for Emmett's death forever cursed their family.
@@courtneypalmer53 Yes, not to mention the type of hate that it took to do this to a child is taught and passed down. It didn't stop when Emmett died it has continued. I do believe ppl can change, but I'd bet my last tha family kept racism going year's and year's after. Possibly why her grandchildren said she was glad it was over and done when they closed the case again. That was telling to me.
This is sooo unforgivable on so many levels! This still breaks my heart.
Don't forget, "vengeance is mine says the lord!" Good thing the family of the victim were good Christians...
“Vengeance is mine says the lord” I got chills all of a sudden. Best believe they somewhere paying for what they did to that innocent child. Continue to rest in paradise Emmett❤️
👏🏾 cuz best believe they are NOT living their best Afterlife
@@LaLagunz187 facts sis

Amen!
So why haven't white people receive Vengeance then nice goofy statement but really means nothing and that's just fine with us as a nation we are the goofiest
This is why we need the Emmitt Till act passed through the Senate's Floor. If we can passed an Anti Hate bill to protect Asian citizens then why can we have a bill that grants protection for Black People?
Wouldn't the anti-hate bill protect everyone, including blacks and Asian?
@God's servant nope, only Asian citizens. Black people literally have no protection from hate crimes on a federal level
@@TruthOverFear21 Lmfao the delusion is immeasurable.
@@vk6832 prove me wrong
@@vk6832 lynching is not a hate crime
The saddest part sbout this whole story is that neither justice nor accountability was served for this family.
The white men, who were both cowards, admitted to the crime after they could no longer be prosecuted. The white woman, lied who lied about her story, is still living and was able to live out her life with no consequence knowing she destroyed another family’s life.
It’s amazing that for decades after the a holocaust, the DOJ assisted in capturing and prosecuting those associated with the genocide of millions, EVEN when those people were well into their senior years, there was zero sympathy for them.
But they did zero to hold the woman in the Till case accountable for her lies and perjury in a court of law (and yes, she did lie under oath) in something that happened in THIS country. Then they have the nerve to close the case.
Think that says it all about “justice” for black people in this country.
💯
Exactly.
Carolyn Bryant is the original "Karen". She lied under oath, and lied again to the FBI when questioned again about what she confessed to the book author. But that saying goes..."what do expect from a pig but a grunt?"
@@Sonyag1 Exactly
,@ Josh F Not only should they arrest the woman who lied(Bryant) but the jurors who lied and found the killers not guilty should be jailed too! They knew those men killed him. Her book sales should be handed to the family because she should not profit from having a kid murdered with her lies! Nor should her family!
how disgusting that NO one ever went to prison for this terrible crime. God bless that poor child. so sad 😢
His case breaks my heart poor kid didn’t deserve that and the fact that he still hasn’t had justice goes to shows how messes up our system is
Carolyn Bryant is the cruelest person along with other Emmett Till's killers in the American history. Should put that in all history books.

The state of Mississippi should be accountable for his murder.. If the one who Did this is dead the state should be accountable. Because the state allowed this horrible thing to happen and No one WAS brought up on charges. Damn shame....
#MississppiTheMagnoliaState ....! Fear 😨 and Hatred ... !
I agree!
So happy my family moved up North from Mississippi
Not the same people in power. I think the men were acquitted. So they could not be tried again
There's nothing wrong with Mississippi itself. It's a beautiful state with lots of things to offer. It's the people who were in charge there that were the problem. A bunch of old racists from a bygone era. Some of the people there might still have a ways to go but the majority of mississippians have come a long way since then. Remember the whole country was horribly racist back then, singling out the south isn't really a fair accusation. I completely understand where you're coming from though.
I'm so sorry Emmett. You didn't deserve this. You helped change the world and you will never be forgotten. 💔🥺😞
I cannot imagine what this family had to go through. His poor mother 😥
I’ll never forget the picture of Emmett after they found him. This store is so heartbreaking and the fact they had the nerve and right to just show up at the house and take that little boy is down right awful .

It’s almost impossible not to cry while trying to comprehend the cruelty inflicted on Emmett Till, who could live with the soul of a monster after committing a heinous act.
What was going through that poor boys mind 😔 during his capture God rest his soul
If you read “Death of Innocence”, Mamie said that what she saw of Emmett vs what the public had seen was worse than what we will ever see. And she even saw the police picture of him when he first got taken out of the river. It makes you wonder how bad it really was for it to be worse than the Jet pictures.
Yea I saw a interview and she said the same thing she said what saw wasn’t viewable smfh 😔😔😔
He was a good looking kid,he had pretty hazel eyes and pretty teeth that they literally knocked out and dug out. they were so jealous,they did more damage to his face/head
@@iseerightthrucapandbullcra1134 Yes he was beautiful. Thats the first thing that came to my mind that was jealous of his handsome face those beautiful eyes. I hate those demons forever.

People admitting to a crime and not being convicted so unfair I hope when they meet their maker they can answer Emmit's mom is a strong woman God is with her at all times and her beautiful baby

R.I.P Emmett. How did these people get away with murdering this innocent young man? No sins will go unpunished!
My dad was 5y.o. at the time of Emmet Till’s death. We don’t live in the US. We live in the Caribbean, but his story reaches world-wide. Hope the murderers & their accomplices suffered agonizing, horrible deaths!
Such a strong and loving family! Emmett was only 14 years old and didn't deserve to die like that 💔 When we die we'll all be held accountable for our actions in life and those men that killed him will have to answer for the cruel, evil things they did. Might be case closed on earth but in spirit it'll be different.
And THIS is the TRUTH
Sarah D, I always say and will continue to say, we will know and see true justice when we stand before GOD on judgement day. Sometimes ago I watched a video where she admitted behind the locked door of her home that she lied about what emmit said and did in the store that day. How can so called grown men treat a 14 year old boy like an adult? Don,t they remember how they used to think and act when they were that age. What would have been the outcome if it was a 14year old white boy she had accused of flirting with her? Emmit was in the wrong place, as everybody knows the deep south is and will always be institutionally racist. Nearly 65years after his murder in the deep south again, a young innocent black man was illegally murdered by two racist vigilantes. Travis and gregory mcmichael were only brought to justice and found guilty because of the video leaked to the public. And ahmuads mother was lied to by the police about how he really died. But she didn't give up and got it brought to a supreme court in Georgia. It was mostly an all white jury with one black man, but after they had watched the video etc, they were unanimously found guilty and awaiting sentence. The whole court case is on you tube, and there was a really unbiased, lovely white judge, timothy walmsley residing. It,s such a crying shame there wasn't the technology in 1955 that we,re very lucky to have today. I was born in january of that year, but I,ve watched the video and read the story of emmit that nearly broke my heart. Watching this video had me in tears. He was denied so much by not being able to go forward in his life. 😔🙏🙏❤
Actually he did deserve what he got , he got at somebody's wife something you don't do
Answer to who? Smh
@@geekedmaxx you know that Emmitt was innocent right or you like to see kids being murdered?
My grandma LIVED through this era. Absolutely mind-blowing how recent this societal horror actually is. Just one generation behind. The stories my grandma told me of how they were treated, the sheer evil they experienced, how low and inadequate they felt, how hopeless and broken they were...simply for existing...just crushes my heart. This is just ONE story that made national. But there are thousands of untold horrors just like poor Emmett, that will forever stain the legacy of America. I'm beyond grateful for the tireless resistance of the Civil Rights movement for paving the way for me to experience a life without segregation as a black man in the USA.
And while I may not know what it's like, I will forever remember, honor, and make their sacrifice worth it. Simply by living an upstanding, law abiding, respectful, and successful life...something they'd be proud to witness. Black excellence rises thanks to these legends. May God be forever with the Till family.

How is the pain satisfying?elaborate!
@@MsLH208 palatable means you can "feel" their pain in this context. You're on the internet, take the 2 second Google search and don't make people explain basic vocabulary in a yt comment section
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AFTER THE GUILTY HAD ADMITTED TO THEIR CRIME!! THIS JUST SHOWS OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS ONE-SIDED!
They had already been tried for murder and acquitted. In the US you can not be tried twice for the same crime.
They can't be tried again due to Double Jeopardy.
I hate she carried all the hurt.. pain.. and heartache til the day she died... All the family...🙏😪
I think an entire generation carried that sadness! It even effects our generation revisiting this tragedy. Going back down south in those times, was like returning to a abusive marriage.
Wrong Wrong Wrong The men that did this should have gotten the death penalty .Heartbreaking that a child is removed form their home to be murdered for no reason.
Just a whistle GOT THAT YOUNG MAN TOURTURED JUST A WHISTLE😞
@@natoshiapurnell5652 the bad part about that is he had a speech problem and when he spoke it was a slight whistle
@@creolegoddess1979 I’m so confused because I have heard a couple different versions of what happened and that is one of them but the cousins of Emmett Till said that he did whistle at the woman but regardless of rather Emmett whistled or not that young boy did NOT deserve to be tortured and murdered! I don’t know if Emmett did whistle or not but it breaks my heart that a child had to be the sacrificial lamb and it breaks my heart even more that no Justice was served for him or his Family till this day!!😞💔
God always has the last word...they will pay.
He flirted w white woman!
This woman has the audacity to say that she's glad it's done??!! No no no sis...it's far from done! You WILL pay for what you did to Emmett! Your judgement day will come...
The heartache I get from this story every time that I hear and think about it makes me sick because those people admitted to the evil that they did and to this day no one will face consequences for the death of Emmett.
2021 and the fact that they closed the case without officially acknowledging those men in fact murdered that young man proves we are no further along then we were the day he was murdered.
It just proves what I always say 1st thing Our lives don't matter in Amerikkka and that Amerikkka needs racism to even exist it's the ventilator that keeps her breathing. Amerikkka would never ever survive without racism it's very economy exists because of racism and that's a damn shame .

Lmfaoooo we are wayyyyy better off now than before. Let’s stop pretending we are going through the same type of struggles our ancestors went through.
What was done to that boy was absolute pure evil from Satan the devil
Yes it was.
Pure hatred just as we can read in our history...brutality against blacks by white hands isn't news. Emmett Tills was murdered by cowards and the justice system kept his murder as a scar on the minds of all blacks for 66 years. God always has the last word. Sad that his mother died with no justice.

This is heart wrenching😢 what a strong mother
Emmett's family are amazing people. His story will be with me forever and has changed me in so many ways. May we all have their compassion. I'm so sorry.
Even though this incident happened before I was born, I am extremely proud that Emmett Till's mother was strong enough to show the world what happened to her son because it shed a huge light on the unjustified acts that were going on in the South, which lead to laws being changed and spearheaded the Civil Rights Movement. I couldn't imagine losing my only child behind a lie. Trust me the woman that told the lie along with all the people involved in his murder, future generations will suffer because of this hurtful deed. No one gets away with anything they do in this life and no one in the Carolyn Bryant Dorham family along with whoever else was involved will never be relieved of the Karma Carolyn created.

Right ✅️
I agree
Absolutely right, she cursed her bloodline
Lie, or no lie, whistle, or no whistle. this child did not deserve this at all. I hope this mother fights harder. This child deserves justice.
So depressing. in my mind, I can't imagine the fear in Emmett he was going through. My Lord.
I'm British, and have only learned about Emmett and his story in the last few years and every time I hear his name my heart breaks for him and his family. I know there was segregation back then, but even so no one deserved to die like Emmett did, and certainly not a child!
I wonder how the woman who got him killed felt when her kids were cheeky, silly 14 yr olds and how she'd feel if someone lied about one of them and got them killed in the same way she got poor Emmett killed?
She claims that she knows how Emmetts mum n family felt after the loss of her own child, but she has no right to associate her loss with the Tills. I doubt her son was taken, tortured/assaulted and killed?
My heart is with Emmett and his family both now and then, and I hope they find their peace one day knowing Emmett, his story and memory will live on a lot longer than those who ended his life. Respect and condolences to young Emmett and his family. 😞💔❤🕊 x
The woman that said he whistle at her, came out and said he never did.
She never recanted
The DoJ reopened the case in 2018 after a book cast doubt on the testimony of a white woman who was central to the case.
Carolyn Bryant Donham said Emmett had grabbed her by the waist, uttered a profanity and asked her for a date while she was alone in the family grocery store on the evening of 24 August 1955 in Money, Mississippi.
But a 2017 best-selling book, The Blood of Emmett Till, by historian Timothy Tyson, quoted her as recanting this story.
The author said she had indicated - in her first ever known interview - that her courtroom testimony six decades earlier about Emmett’s purported sexual advance was unfounded.
However, the DoJ said in a statement on Monday that the FBI had interviewed Ms Donham, and she had denied ever disavowing her testimony, and did not provide any further information.
They added that authorities concluded there was “insufficient evidence to prove that she ever told the professor [Mr Tyson] that any part of her testimony was untrue”.
“Although the professor represented that he had recorded two interviews with her, he provided the FBI with only one recording, which did not contain any recantation.”

It will never not be stunning to me, how recently in our history this kind of stuff was happening. When I heard this story as a kid, it seemed so far away. Ancient, really. Practically biblical times. My child mind believed that it was AT LEAST a hundred years ago. Now, as an adult, recognizing that it wasn't even a full lifetime ago that a young boy was dragged away from his family and murdered by police, without any hope for justice... it takes my breath away. 66yrs ago isn't nearly far enough in the past to explain away the ignorance.
I’m 2012 a black dude lit a white guy on fire for no reason.. life is a battle between good and evil has zero to do with race
I'm still surprised that blacks still defend black murderers and sexual assailents. Nothings changed. Those men policed their own neighborhood. Till was an outsider who threatened to sexually assault a woman. He got what he deserved.
people today are by no mean different than the one before.
We can go back to segregated society very fast and the whole population will agree. All matter is how governments are going to push such agenda if they want to.
A government can ostracize a portion of his population, regardless of race, if it wants and having the full consent of the other part of the non-ostracize population. China is doing that atm for example with the ouighour, western governement are doing that between vaccinated and unvaccinated, etc... yet the majority is quite ok with that.

Let me try this again I see my comment was deleted 4 obvious reasons. The Just Us system does work bcuz it's designed for free slave labor and the laws are made 4 only white males to benefit from . Yes I went there . 🎤💧
@@m.c.donl.2856 which laws specifically and how exactly do they oppress minorities and benefit whites?
Since CRT is shunned from being taught in our schools, I applaud ABC and the producers of this series in using their platform to show how a horrific crime against an innocent black kid was committed on baseless and senseless accusations. America today is still not far off from that era's evils.
This is not CRT. This is just history. CRT is way different. Not objective or done in the a historical context. It just fuels division and serves as propaganda and indoctrination. Not the same
This is taught in history. Along with other historical events. CRT is a theory not history.
@@peggyivey5828 no one said it's history.
@@peggyivey5828 race factors into all of history, the fact that it's being punished for making kids feel "guilty" or making kids hate others is them admitting all you need to know is the truth to hate them.
His mother was a strong woman and she made sure no one forgot who her baby was 🙏🏼
I’m so happy that some of the people that live through that horrible horrific scene are today to tell the story of their relative Emmett Till. The woman that lied should spend the rest of her days in prison and because she’s not in prison I hope that she is grieving and really thinking about the horrible death she caused Emmett Till‘s. His image should hunter for the rest of her days.
The same system that told Emmitt that his Black life didn’t matter has also recently told unarmed Black Americans, unnecessarily killed at the hands of people who took an oath to protect them, that their Black life didn’t matter…This system hasn’t changed, but I’m hopeful with the most recent convictions.
It’ll never change until we start seeking REVENGE!!!!
J. Edgar Hoover denied Emmitts mother a federal investigation. And in 2022 that same corruption is still alive in America with the FBI
Criminals fighting and shooting at law enforcement should not be equated to this innocent Child's death. Emmett was not a crimminal.
The lady who said she was whistled at is the one who should have done time.
God bless the family and friends of Emmett Till 🙏🙏🙏
'Woe to them that call good for evil, and evil for good! '
Wow! I had no idea that there were so many living witnesses.
There are still living witnesses/victims of the Tulsa Massacre that happened decades prior.
That’s what is hitting me so hard right now
Wheeler Parker is the only one speaking that was a real witness. He and Simeon Wright (deceased) were with Emmett at Bryant’s store and in the home when Emmett was abducted. Read Simeon’s book. He tells us that anyone other than the people named in the book are witnesses. Other people would fabricate stories as though they were there.
The day the so called accuser said she had lied was the turning point and she her self should’ve been prosecuted on perjury alone no matter her age spending her last days in prison.
This hurts my heart we have to end hate
Mamie Till - I can not imagine having to bury your son/daughter - but knowing that your son's last moments on earth were pure hell - there is not enough retribution available on this planet for this child/mother/family for this situation. Justice needs to be served for Emmett. RIP Emmett.
Emmitt till mother man she's one brave women and I wish I could hug her 😢
Proverbs 29:26 Many seek the rulers favor, but justice for man comes from the LORD.
Amen!

People don't realize how dangerous a lie can be.
Lies can kill!
I lived in Tennessee during these years, the daughter of a part Cherokee father and white mother and when this happened my mother became active in sit ins in supporting the civil rights movement. Her whole family supported the civil rights movement and of course so did my father, a WWII veteran. Our Methodist church was also active in the bus rides, and we knew a young man who died is one that was set on fire in Mississippi or Alabama (I am now seventy-four can't remember which) At 10years old I witnessed the clan beating folks behind my house at the railroad tracks and my Dad called the corrupt Knoxville Police department to put a stop to it and they refused. It was a horrible time engraved in my memory! We also were fearful of the corrupt bullies, but our faith made us brave. My sister and I went with our mother. Learned lifetime lessons. You will never forget Jim Crow if you lived through it and were taught to hate the injustice of it. I clearly remember this story! What heartbreak for our whole country and especially his family. I remember the farce of the trial too. There was a lot of that in those days. Lawmen were on the take and bullies in uniform all over the south. Thank God a lot of those are gone now. My days and memories will soon be gone but I tried to instruct my kids and grandkids to be different and they are. I don't know how Mamie did what she did God love her.
How come they can't press charges on the lady that lied? And she admitted it..
I think it’s because of the Double Jeopardy statute.
I was 1 yro when this happened. Throughout the years I’ve heard this. Today I’m 67. And today…I’d like to see justice. This is the most ‘Dispicable’ crime committed to Anyone! You people that have these bloodlines of corrupt killings….your justice will come. I’ve taught my children and grandchildren about Emmett Till. It’s important for this generation to understand ‘ignorance/hate’. It’s Wrong! For God who so loved the world…he gave his only begotten Son.
I’ve never forgotten the Emmett Till tragedy. I won’t let my children forget either. To the family of Emmett Till….May justice reign upon your family.
You people? Not my blood line. That is a terrible thing to say! God holds the person that committed the crimes accountable. It sounds like you hate white people. I am glad my kin folks that are black don't think like that. They love me. Look at the murder and black on black crime in cities, it's epidemic. We can't change the past but we can work the change the present. To many deaths every day.
Because of what happened to Emmit Till, I’ve never allowed my kids to leave the state to visit relatives down south. Could you imagine letting your child go visit relatives only for him to be dragged out their home and brutally killed like that! I would have lost my mind! I would have died trying to kill those men for what they did to my child. And I wouldn’t never speak to my family again for allowing them to take him. He was just a child!!!
I know right!I know if his mom had been there she would had fought to the end for her baby because I know I would walk through fire for mine.
67years on and the brutal murder of young Emmet Till, today, still resonates around the world as if it happened yesterday. People stand aghast, horror stricken at the callous individuals who miserably and wantonly destroyed the life of this young boy over something so trivial and acted so contemptuously demonstrating his death meant absolutely nothing to them. Worst of all the jury turned a blind eye no intension of finding them guilty. They stand condemned complicit in denying justice in Till's murder. After it became public knowledge through an admission of guilt in a magazine article. The lives of these four actors changed for the worst. They became spurned and objects of distain around their local communities. The men struggled to seek gainful in employment living out their lives just above the poverty line. It seems some small measure of justice followed them. Becoming causalities, a making of their own reputation which always preceded them. But it ain't over, one day soon they will be raised from their dusty beds to hear words directed to them personally,“ And the king shall answer, and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these, My brothers, you have done it to Me ...Matt 25:40
So that B---- Bryant had the audacity to say she's "glad it's done" even after all this time? My god, can she at least say she's sorry it went that far, sorry it happened the way it did, sorry for the family's pain, anything like that??? Come on lady, you're in your 80s and on your way out the door. You can't even try after all this time?
She’s evil and doesn’t care
I don’t know about you but I don’t want an apology if it isn’t sincere
She clearly has no remorse
If there is a hell after death….. it awaits her.
I thought the same thing . It goes for the rest of her family who continues to act as if shes the victim .
Both men who killed Emmett died of painful cancer years later. Karma met both men even if they didn't get convicted in court.
keep the karma nonsense copium...
As if good people dont die from cancer.. as if cancer isnt a disease to hit people randomly.
Carolyn Bryant is alife now with family around her.. Where is Emmet ill ? nice Karma i guess there...
There was only one killer, the husband he confess to killing Emmett Till, after the Verdict of NOT Guilty. I read the book.
@@shirley9209 Whatever doesn't make them Good. The hell you talking about they were all EVIL. AND CAROLYN IS GONNA GO TO HELL WITH THEM WHEN HER TIME COMES.
Even an animal doesn’t have to go through what this boy endured.
I love these two beautiful people being interviewed. I’m so very sorry what happened to Emmett Till.
How awful to close this case. That lady will be punished by God.
If god was real this never would’ve happened to so many blacks over the years. I wouldn’t be judged by my other black brothers and sisters for being mixed if god was real
@@dauntewimbush1939 God is real. Jesus is real, the Holy Ghost is real too. Everything in the Bible is real. I know it seems unfair about Emmit but God doesn't make mistakes. Look at how his mom still held her head up but still prayed. If she died in God, she is probably seeing him again for all eternity with him in Heaven. Can you imagine Heaven. I want to make it for myself. Can you imagine being constantly happy, never a bad day, no more pain, sickness, racism, no more bad things period.. Just happy happy and never sad goodbye just glad glad glad and happynonstop. I got to see Jesus for me. Just thinking about it makes me excited. I want to make it in and see my mansion. I want to see the man that died for me. Hallelujah to the King.

@@dauntewimbush1939 GOD is very much REAL. JESUS died for you! JESUS is REAL! GOD LOVES us so much that he gives us choices, to choose the right or the wrong; the good or the bad. People choose wrong and allow evil and hate to drive their emotions and feelings. GOD is LOVE! He loves you Daunte and I love you too. I am sorry that ignorant people in this world mistreat you because of who they thing you are or are not or who they thing you should be. Don’t give those ignorant people any room to steal your JOY! 💕
Yall he stay having and making atheist comments.
My heart aches for this family, for our people, & for this nation.
I pray for the people behind my demise who have hit my vehicle, poisoned my food, and all the nasty other foul things they’ve done. For I know their day will come. Let Go and Let God exactly. May this family get peace and I pray their healing.
I did not know the investigation has been closed. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family of Emmett. Not only did Emmett's brutal death help move the civil rights movement forward, but let us recognize the Christian attitude Mamie had all throughout her life as she showed us ( the world), that she loved Jesus by her walk and her talk. Resting in the loving arms of Jesus, mother and son.
They didn't find evidence. That's just tells you about the" justice" system.
So sorry that justice remains blind in 2022. We will never forget Emmett Till ✝️
14 yr old boy. Damn that's sad. My son that age and I couldn't imagine. How scared he was.
This story makes my heart hurt. Who does that to a child? May his soul rest Easy.
My heart breaks for Emmett and his family. No justice for them here on earth, but the Lord says vengeance it mine. They will pay someday.
Those BASTARDS began to pay when they took their last breath; I really do believe that
So very sorry and saddened for the family. Still unable to get justice for their beloved💐🌹🌹.
I’m so sorry that this happened to this young man, may he Rest In Peace. Beautiful baby 🙏🇨🇦
My cousins are so brave for sitting there and reliving this all over again
