Murderer

The Resume

    (February 10, 1919-December 30, 1981)
    Born in Ruleville, Mississippi
    Murdered Emmett Till

Why he might be annoying:

    He beat fourteen year old Emmett Till to death with Roy Bryant after Till allegedly whistled at Bryant’s wife.
    After he and Bryant were acquitted by an all white jury they admitted in an interview that they did indeed kill Till and lied under oath.
    He said he only intended to scare the boy, but when Till refused to apologize he told the reporter: ‘What else could we do?’
    He actually fired the lethal shot.
    He never expressed any remorse over the murder.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the US Army during World War II.
    He was described as being more intelligent and articulate than Bryant was (which dosen’t say a whole lot).
    He is dead.
