George Stinney, 14, Executed In Vile Act Of Injustice, Exonerated 70s Years Late

While watching this I literally had tears streaming down my face for this poor little boy. Actually, I simply can't stop crying ten minutes later. Thinking of how fucking terrified he must have been when they were strapping him into the electric chair and how he was tortured by it in a most horrific manor. God fucking dam those bastards who did this to him!

How did the monsters who strapped that boy into the electric chair live with themselves afterwards?

no conscience, after all to a racist a black life means less than a dogs....... Just ask those cops in Cleveland that shot the 12 years old to death inside of 2 seconds of arriving on the scene.....

As he aptly says, in the midst of sighs of exasperation, this is still not resolved.
