Till's glass-topped casket was found in an unceremonious place, a storage shed. <br />If nothing happened then there would have been no reason for a woman to run out to get a pistol. A mere lisp wouldn't inspire a husband to go out looking for anybody. There's no reason to assume a white person is lying any more so than to assume blacks can never lie. The unnamed witness in the store confirmed what she said. In addition, Bryant was assisted in his search for Till by a black friend which somewhat deflates the purely racial angle. People in general don't like those who are in the habit of assaulting other people's spouses. Criminals and rapists usually work their way up the ladder, starting out with smaller offenses and as their comfort level and learning curve improves the seriousness of their offenses increase. Till was still in the stage of progressing upwards towards graduating to the big time except that his career was cut short. Anyway, someone getting knocked off for putting the moves on someone else's girlfriend or spouse is such a common story that it's barely newsworthy. You certainly don't hear about it for sixty years except for the fact that it serves as a vehicles for other people's political agendas. Chicago guynoreply@blogger.com
