Same thing with James Byrd in Jasper, Texas. They named a park in his honor, and built statues to him.
The guy was a scumbag. The men who killed him met him in prison, and they had multiple problems with each other in prison.
This wasn't a random dragging death. The guys who did it were looking for him and knew where he lived. It was a prison fight that happened on the outside.
The media built Byrd into a saint. He was a scumbag.
That doesn't justify what happened to him, but building statues and a park?
The guy was a criminal.
Oh. I didn't know that. Now I can tell you I have some friends who live in CO talked about how dangerous is Texas and mentioned him and warned me to be careful all the time. I met the most wonderful people and told them so.
