Think I’m going to stop talking about the Carolyn Bryant situation and how she literally got away with murder? Think again! I’ve been trying to find more information despite the slap in the face that was the grand jury in Mississippi not indicting this elderly white supremacist low-life (did this involve an all-white jury?). She admitted in that unpublished memoir that the police at the time would escort her and her family at the time away from her hometown given the elevated tensions back then. Her ex-husband and her brother-in-law admitted they kidnapped and murdered Emmett Till and no one still did anything. And people tell me this country is based on law and order! What massive lies! They literally protected a murderer. Could you imagine if someone like R. Kelly got police protection to avoid scandals and avoid prison simultaneously? There would be mass hysteria and riots in this country if that happened!
There was even a quote in this article that the Mississippi authorities in the 50s declined to arrest her in order to “protect white womanhood”. Wow! That’s a double dose of the skin-color privilege AND pointing out her gender to make sure Carolyn Bryant didn’t face a minute of jail time. How sickening! I don’t want to hear ANYBODY complaining about OJ Simpson or Bill Cosby since they still got prison time and the latter didn’t get that “too old” excuse like she did as well. I’m seething hearing that her living into her 80s so far is somehow “punishment enough”. DON’T GIVE ME THAT EXCUSE! Again, Nazis have been arrested at her age and older for their past crimes, so she deserves to face judgment just like them for the murder of an innocent 14-year-old boy that she lied about. As much as she deserves to be demonized, Carolyn Bryant wasn’t the first or last woman to pull off something like that. I hope other demons like her are exposed and get punished. There needs to be more pressure to see her locked up, and I don’t care if she has a bloody oxygen tank and is legally blind. She got to live while Emmett Till didn’t get a 2nd chance despite not doing anything wrong to begin with.
