You really should get your facts right before posting things. My wonderful father in law was 60 when he passed away.
Jeff Berry was a very loving person who will truly be missed.”

Well, we’re sorry about the hit on the age, but the rest of this obituary is pretty well documented, and perhaps you can share with us why his son found it necessary to beat him so violently…and why Jeff Berry found it necessary to devote his life to the worthless and hurtful cause of the Ku Klux Klan.

However, I am very aware that to his family — at least those who did not get into vicious fights with him — he was someone they miss and love. So you have my condolences for the loss of your father-in-law, but I do hope that the misguided values he held have not been needlessly inflicted on his descendants, so that the cycle of hate that he manifested ends with him.

My hope is that whatever wrong choices he made, that somehow, some way he gained enough insight in life to choose a better way.

Looks like Jeff Berry was featured on the History of the KKK documentary that runs occasionally on the History Channel.

It is the sign of a true idiot that spends his life and that of others trying to wreak torment upon others.

It is their own curse to travel and waste their precious waking moments obsessed with their own behaviors and it is further a curse that they bring upon themselves the wrath of others who do in kind to them and their families.

The problem with racist fools is that they never seem to learn and they pride themselves in their stupidity all the while believing themselves to be superior and intelligent, they are not. They continue in their circles of personal despair they obsess over those that would be their victims.

Signs of truly disturbed minds. May the light of the law be put upon them and may we find a remote island to cart them off to where they will never plague any true civilization ever again and may they quickly wither away in their own hate.

I remember seeing these guys perform their routine in full regalia on the steps of City Hall in Gary, Indiana in the 90′s. They showed their bravery by standing behind a temporary cyclone fence with the cops in front of them.

I can only hope his late-in-life renouncement of the Klan was sincere, else he’ll be paying for it now.

L. Berry, many people have been loving parents, sibs, friends, and spouses, who were beasts to those they thought of as “the others”.

Their great, achieving, attention grabbing champion of hate croaks and nobody in God’s Klan cares enough to even mention it and where people read about it is in Hatewatch. Says something about the MAN and the movement.

i’m pretty much inclined to believe that anyone who appears on The Jerry Springer Show is only looking to get on television in the worst way possible. although it doesn’t surprise me at all that they received an increase in membership from the uneducated unemployed trailer trash who comprise a large portion of The Jerry Springer Show audience. i’m sure that Northwestern University Law School is very proud to count Jerry Springer as their most famous graduate.

But at least Jerry Springer had intelligence and education to waste – unlike Jeff Berry whose entire adult life is pretty pathetic and shows just how far the Kluless Klan Kreeps have fallen. i especially like the part about him being a drug snitch for years – and despite being a longtime snitch still doing something stupid enough to wind up in prison. What a maroon that guy was.

I can believe that there are those who do this merely for the money because they are social outcasts and can’t sustain gainful employment or operate a business that actually does something good for the community.

Well I don’t think a great deal of Americans are going to miss him at all.

End of life is a special time, where one cannot help but assess what it’s all been about, what they’ve done, what they’ve accomplished, along with questions of why we’re here, and just a whole host of serious questions to ponder.

I cannot imagine coming to my end with this man’s baggage. What a miserable experience that would be.

What a sad and pathetic character. Nice pun about the sheet, however.

While I would like to believe that he actually recanted his views, something tells me that doesn’t jive with reality.
