30th Anniversary of Emmett Till's Death NBC 1985 Part3

[@domijael4225]

My heart really goes out to this woman. Not only was her son taken away from her in an extremely brutal matter, but she had to see the aftermath. She had to see just how much pain her son suffered before his ultimate death. And what makes matters worse is that the MONSTERS who killed her son never faced any criminal charges.

[@nostalgicgamer1363]

Til this day many still go unpunished the American Way!

[@lindataylor5704]

Domi Jael Remember the two men were acquitted and found not guilty. Then confessed after the trial that they had killed Emmett Till because they couldn't be retrial.

[@dontstandsoclose]

@@lindataylor5704 Recently the FBI closed the case stating not enough evidence even after knowing of confessions. Such B.S. They are guilty in the court of public opinion and karma got them. Not everyone was on their side and they were ostracized within their community. I call it public justice.

Let’s straighten one thing up, he ALLEGEDLY whistled at that woman. Even if this is true, it’s completely irrelevant. That doesn’t constitute what happened to this poor kid.

[@michaelalexander5350]

If it's irrelevant why bring it up?

[@fivefiveqt214]

No alleged, the boys all admitted that he did indeed whistle at that hideous woman when she came out of the store.

[@Timmytheman87]

@@fivefiveqt214 whether it happened or not, Emmett didn’t deserve anything that happened to him. A stern talkin’ to by those scumbags would’ve sufficed. Not torturing him for hours, shooting him and throwing him in a river.

[@simplysing]

@@Timmytheman87 no one of sound mind is arguing that. Of course Emmett bears no responsibility here whether he whistled or not is irrelevant. The hideous pathetic excuse of a woman still lives to this day. No doubt surrounded by like minded bigots. Perverted ugly monsters awaiting an evitable higher justice with a more profound punishment. .

Sandra Jefferson no doubt. Because the killers had 2 sons each, all 4 were killed. God allowed them to live a long life to feel the pain Mrs. Till suffered. Emmett ignited the civil rights movement, he was here for a purpose.

Not to mention, they died very poor, too!

[@gladysduffey1771]

That’s right

[@jamic6351]

This child lost to us....life created by God was snuffed out in the most brutal way. Had it not been so fiercely brutal, it might have been forgotten. But the people channeled their shock and grief. The American Civil Rights Movement began then. Make no mistake, Rosa Parks said she thought of Emmett when she stayed and would not give up her seat. The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 13 months. The people walked, they thought of young Emmett which gave them strength and courage. The magnificent Civil Rights Movement....felt around the world. The breathtaking courage of the people who went to that courthouse, who stood outside in silent strength.....Moses testimony, Mamie Tills courage to keep an open casket for the world to see her boy, once heard, it’s never to be forgotten. May they live in everlasting light. Angels sing because they’ve come home.

[@mark9531]

@@clementjohnson2666 It is often said that nothing has changed, it is just as bad as it was in the time of Emmett Till. I disagree with that statement. Here is one major, major thing which has changed. A lynch mob would never drive up in someone's driveway for fear they would meet a hail of gunfire. Blacks are legally purchasing firearms and getting their conceal weapons permits to protect themselves and family. Many states now have the Castle Doctrine. You don't even have to wait until the threat is in your house before you can legally protect your "castle" (Unless your name is Mark McCloskey and you live in St. Louis. But that is another story)

[@ForyeaHLM]

Let’s see it was 1955. In the deep white Jim Crow south. If the h would’ve gotten involved all of them would’ve been killed it wasn’t a maybe it was a would’ve. And if they were all dead there are no witnesses which means there is no case. And we wouldn’t have known about Emmitt Till. I can say he did try to get them to leave him alone he offered money and even told them he was sick and didn’t have good sense. Come on people it’s basically common sense if you went to school and went to history class you’d know.

[@CollectingCardboard]

5:31 - "...And for the murder of Emmett Till, no one was _ever_ punished". Perhaps,....here, in _THIS LIFE_ , that statement may reign true, but if you're a bettin' man like *me* , I'd care to wager that someone/several people,.... _WERE/WILL BE_ *PUNISHED* !! As in,....damnation!!

He was a black man who’s life was considered worthless back then and he would have either been lynched or locked up and treated inhumanely for the rest of his life. Decades of being treated so poorly and knowing there was no where to turn for help. He must have felt so sad and hopeless.

Sometimes the family doesn’t want certain images or video shown of their loved ones. Most of the images of Emmett are the ones Mamie provided.

[@justshelby1594]

Plus, video was hard to find in 1955 unless it’s of the news or whatever

[@LYBism]

Because the videos you see of the Bryants and the Milams are more than likely after the fact. There wouldn't have been any reasons to have and video footage and/or pictures of them prior to the incident. They weren't famous, or rather, infamous, until after Emmett's death. Any pictures of them (and Emmett) prior would have been family photos, not media photos.
