The article also states that he's a former member of the Klan. Why former? The Klan still exists, so why isn't he still a member? Obviously something's changed in him. Even if he's pronounced guilty, good grief. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to send him to prison. It's not like he's a danger to society now anyway and reforming an 80 year old seems pretty pointless to me since his pictures looks like he's already got a foot in the grave.
He's probably a former member because he couldn't keep up the murder, rape, and beating quota.
Even if he was still a 'member' I doubt very much that he carries his KKK Prerferred Alumni card with him.
He's still a danger because all he has to do is order a painful death to someone and an up-and-comer skin head would gladly perform the act...I think it would be worth several merit badges and a green sticker on his pointy cap.
Oh, he still does that? Wait, still? How do we know that he'd do it again if we don't even know if he's done it once?
Has it been proven that he actually did it to begin with? The jury's cut right down the middle on the verdict. I'd venture to say that some of those who think he's guilty simply believe so just because he admits he used to be part of the KKK and not because they're considering evidence. That's just how people are in today's society. OMG you think illegal immigrants are *gasp* a bad thing?! OH NOES!! RACIST!!! KKK!!!! YOU JEW MURDERING NAZI!!
It's obvious that there's not a lot of concrete evidence to link him to the crime; otherwise we'd have a guilty verdict pretty quickly. Oh well. If he's innocent, fine who cares. If he's guilty, fine who cares. But what are they going to do with him if he's guilty?
