Good Enough for Me

NESHOBA CTY, MS - If you have not yet figured this out, my main interests are pussy, football, and the pursuit of justice -- and the order changes daily. Part of my "pursuit of justice" interest is an admittedly almost unhealthy obsession with Edgar Ray Killen. Well, that cracker motherfucker just got 60 years. He's 80, so he dies in jail. Awesome. I guess I can move on from this obsession now.

Celebrate, and remember the three heroes that he had killed.

Michael Schwerner
James Chaney
Andrew Goodman

They can finally rest in (partial) peace.


Ex-Klansman Gets 60 Years for 1964 Murders

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Associated Press Writer 6 minutes ago

One-time Ku Klux Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen was sentenced to the maximum 60 years in prison Thursday for masterminding the 1964 slayings of three civil rights workers.

Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon on sentenced Killen to 20-year terms on each of three counts of manslaughter. Gordon said the terms will run consecutively.

Killen was convicted Tuesday, 41 years after Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman were killed.

Killen, 80, is the only person who has faced state murder charges in the case. He was tried on three murder counts, but at the request of prosecutors, Gordon allowed jurors to also consider the lesser charge of manslaughter.
