Mike Andrews Hey Mike, i wanted to write to you because I saw a comment that I believe was from you on a separate MLK video where you wrote about how you love all men regardless of color because that is what love is and what God really wants us to do. I wanted to tell you that your views of love, peace and faith enshrine how all people should act. Regardless of any of your family history, none of that is representative of you. I hope that you have much peace, love and happiness in your life and that you fully know that you represent what is good in our world today. Thank you for your loving comments to MLK. Much love and many Blessing to you and yours.
He seems like a person who would be easy to set up as a patsy, and then fool into pleading guilty so that the weakness of the evidence against him never got scrutinized. He's obviously not very well educated...he keeps mispronouncing words....also, he doesn't really come across as someone who would get all excited about a public figure...and if his lawyer really made that comment about wanting the credit then it was a terrible breach of professional ethics.
The blinking is a sign of lying or of not willing to tell the truth. I believe he's frightened because if he tells the truth as to the ones responsible he knows he's a dead man. Better to live out his life in prison, I guess...
Why are ppl saying he sounds unintelligent. Curious not sure what unintelligent sounds like but I'm not sure what he said that shows he lacks intelligence.
Great Guided - Many people think a Southern accent and its inflections are equal to lack of intelligence. I hear it all the time. I can’t think of any other regional speech pattern that people want to change so much that they tie it to cognitive ability.
we have come sd far as a nation since this interview. It is now 2022 and everyone in america simply loves one another. every white person or rather every decent white person just adores every black person and vica versa. now i feel completely save in letting my 16 year old white sexy daughter to walk thru any black neighborhood in this country at any time of the day or night on any day of the week. and I know the black men would treat her with the utmost respect. yes, we have come so far.
It is very evident he is not that bright isn't and wasn't coached on how to answer interviews he was not (prepared/prepped) for media interviews but if you pay attention to what he is saying and what he is not saying he clearly doesn't trust the judicial system and he said he couldn't subscribe to a couple of theories his own representation wanted him to go along with.
@lamja00 From Wikipedia: "After an armed robbery in Missouri in 1959, Ray was sentenced to twenty years in prison for repeated offenses. He escaped from prison in 1967 by hiding in a truck transporting bread from the prison bakery."
In those days, they used a more crude type of "tele-prompter", I do believe Mr Ray is reading the responses that were previously prepared by Mr Rather's team. Any older FBI expert would most likely agree.
my dad was in brixton jail in the uk were im from in 1968 on the same wing as james earl ray he seen hes paper work and new he was not guilty my dads FRANKIE FRASER
I hate to put you on blast mate but my old man was at Wanno and did a bit of time in seg with Frank 2 cells down from him and this was 68/69 also he has 3 sons and none of them have your name!
Is he using Morris code at the end of the video. His eyes go blinking bin the s pattern. I don't know Morris code but i felt like the whole video he was trying to say something but couldn't really say it.
Plus he's always looking to the right after giving a response - any FBI expert on deception will tell you that that's a sign someone isn't being truthful.
@@ghnsbigo6622 I’m a historian, Master’s in American History. I’m very very skeptical that he didn’t pull the trigger. Now I’ll admit, there might have been a conspiracy.. probably with Ray and his brothers. But.. unfortunately, we will never know for sure.
Maybe there's more to this interview than contained here, but I'd be interested in knowing more about what Ray was doing before and immediately after the shooting and at what point did he decided to flee Memphis. I know he was on the lamb when the shooting occurred having "broken" out of prison in 1967 by hiding in a truck transporting bread from the prison bakery, so I'm assuming once he either saw or heard all the police activity following the shooting he decided to leave town and head north. Maybe there's another more detailed interview out there I can check out if I search hard enough.
He was an escaped convict leading up to the assassination, he escaped prison from a petty crime in 1967…. then he was in mexico up to 4 months before (as a fake porno director), then was in LA a month before, then to ATL in late march, to alabama then to memphis where the killing took place on April 4th A bunch of red flags if u ask me…. Something has always been very strange about this case
He did it all by himself and he stayed alive all that time because he forever kept people guessing. Ha.... Ray was extremely smart and ruthless! One more thing. Ray reminds me of the wrestler: The Honky Tonk Man.
Revolucionari - The Real American Gringo?? That’s so offensive. Why do you say this? Because he has a Southern dialect and doesn’t try to change it to please whomever he talks to? He isn’t unintelligible-maybe you can’t understand English.
You're not of any intelligence if you say that he's a pure liar all because you see how much blinking is done, because there are cases that have later been overturned where it's been proven that they were innocent, so get scientific!
@kissed61 That's right, I do disagree with you, for the reason which I made very clear and would be agreed upon by any intelligent person. Now why don't you explain why you think someone can't express doubts about a theory for a motive of a crime without having actually committed it? You're defensive, instead of trying to defend your view, because you know what you said makes no sense.
@bacardilvr Maybe that is taking it a bit too far as I don't think anyone who can think believes him. However the conspiracist nuts will believe any nonsense, no matter how ridiculous!

@alanheath I don't believe Ray's bullshit either. This guy actually pulled off the con of the century duping all these people into thinking he's practically Richard Kimble.
I think you couldn't be more wrong. MLK was killed because he was starting to cause resistance against a racist system. The government knew it had to get rid of him and fast before all blacks rose up against the system. It was and always has been about control of the minorities, control of freedoms, and basic human rights.
The weird thing that make me doubt that he killed. Where was his security detail that was called away by Jesse Jackson so there would be no one there to chase the killer!!!!!
SOMETIMES, THINGS CAN'T BE SOLVE AND PEOPLE WANT QUESTION,,SO IF HE DID,,AND I AM WRONG...GOD LOVES HIM AND EVEN JUDAS PLAY A BAD PART,,BUT ALL HE HAD TO DO IS ASK FOR FORGIVNESS,,SO MAY GOD BLESS THIS MAN
If somebody murdered your parents or a sibling or a spouse would you say 'Nah it's fine they're already dead the killer can just go free to murder other people, they don't need to pay for their crimes'?
if the blacks that were with him in prison thought Ray killed Dr king there's no way he would have died of liver problems

Why was Dan rather in the middle of this & JFK?
How did you get this footage?
Did he ever have any kids? Was he ever married? What did he do for a living? How old was he when he murdereed Dr. King?
Reading about him--- he was born in Illinois, and buried in Ireland, and lived in California---so why's he faking a southern accent?
The stuttering tells me I need to know. He's literally trying to make up the story as he speaks. I don't believe a word of it.
If the government was involved with Ray Ray would have disappeared a long time ago in prison.

I meant personally defensive, of course, instead of focusing on the actual point of debate.
Too bad Rather did not ask him about having reconstructive surgery before killing King and why did he flee to Canada?

Ray: I think so...
Folks... this man did it, lol

***** Mighty Right On
why did you killed mlk by the way the king family rocks
Fun fact mlk was alive after the shot the doctors killed him when he got to the hospital

Raoul is a code-name for Ray's brother who assisted him in the assassination. They were both white supremacists. Ray did it for George Wallace.
Ray killed MLK. But J Edgar Hoover was about to reveal King was a fornicating philanderer to the world. He would have been exposed as a Communist.
I am not convinced. The conspiracist nuts however will be.
