The absolute cruelty needed to do something like the following to another human being has to be cultivated and fostered:
JACKSON, Miss. — No one disputes that James Craig Anderson, a middle-aged black family man with a quick wit and a demanding sense of style, was robbed, beaten and then run over by a group of white teenagers in a motel parking lot early one morning in June.
Finally the FBI has stepped in since the community prosecutor seems to think the charges should not exceed boys will be boys levels:
But as the case builds — charges against the young man accused of driving the Ford pickup that hit Mr. Anderson were raised to capital murder on Friday, and the F.B.I. is now involved — significant questions remain.
Mr. Anderson was a good man that was proactive about living in a community. Oh and by the way he just happened to be Gay:
He made a point of taking care of old people and children and was helping his partner of 17 years, James Bradfield, raise the 4-year-old relative for whom Mr. Bradfield has legal guardianship. He sang tenor in the choir at the First Hyde Park Missionary Baptist Church and was so good “he’d have you falling out,” Mr. Bradfield, 44, said.
A good question is would the nation have cared if they knew he was Gay?
James Anderson's family has been reluctant to speak with the media. Their reluctance is understandable. If these facts were known, would the horrific murder still have captured the nation's attention?
