    I am so ashamed of what happened back in the day. As a white female, I hate my race because of the terrible things that happened. Edgar Killen wants house arrest but yet there are three men who do not even have a choice in the matter. Their lives was taken because of something as “niggerish” as color. How about this, he not only publically apologize to ALL of the families who lost their love ones at his hands, but that he spend the rest of his life in an all BLACK prison (if there is one) and let them have fun with him. He is a poor excuse for a so-called white man and I pray that he will learn that God is love and God does not see COLOR. However, for a man of his calibur, that might be to complex to comprehend.
