Let’s say someone is kidnapped and eventually killed. Multiply that and make that two people. This being the case, how long should the murderer be accountable for these crimes? Should a statute of limitation apply to someone who committed crimes like these? I say as long as that person is taking a breath they should have to pay for committing such crimes.

Well, James Seale did those things and it is possible that he may go free. This happened many, many years ago but his guilt doesn’t seem to be the issue here. The basic issue is he did these things a long time ago and should get a pass. His failing health is also being considered as if that makes it OK to let him be free. There has to be more to this right? Of course there is.

Seales was, or still is, a member of the Klu Klux Klan. Of course the two victims were black – they may have possibly been weighted down and thrown in the river alive. He wasn’t convicted when it happened, back in the 60s, because the police were believed to be Klan members. Is justice always just?

Not only should he do hard time, he should be sat down in a chair that is connected to some serious juice! I’m not saying this based on color, I’m saying this based on the crimes. He may have not been convicted – or even brought to trial – because of color and now the verdict was changed because of time and old age.

Does that seem right to you?
