Saw both documentaries. I'm not shocked by either of them. I do think in Southern Rites, the father had time to calm down and he should have just called the police and had the boys arrested for being in his home, sleeping with his underage daughter, and smoking an illegal drug in that state. The point is the boys were running retreating. You don't shoot a person who is retreating in the back. My point is he had time to think about what he was doing that's why he ended up doing a year in jail. If he had gotten up, saw them, and started shooting that would have been one thing. If he had gotten up, went into the room, saw them getting high and having sex, that would have been cause to shoot first and discuss it later, but he sat them down and started trying to scare them to death and when they ran he started shooting. He made them feel like they had to escape, an old southern tactic when dealing with black males. It didn't work, they first felt the need to get away so one rushed him and the other ran. He caused that which makes what he did premeditated or aggravated. It wasn't spontaneous, by surprise. He should feel some shame because he knows he wanted to scare them and throw his proverbial weight around.
Say her name: I immediately saw the officer that seemed so damn suspicious looking up at that camera. I also question why she was put back in that cell. She was arrested illegally, her civil rights were violated, and she was man handled thus assaulted and nothing happened to the officer who perpetrated all these crimes, really? Bottom line is there is definitely a cover up and this will continue in this country until we stop appointed rednecks into positions of power like police chief, district attorney, judge, congressman, teachers, doctors, and law enforcement officers. racist people should never hold positions that require a none bias approach when handling the public. I think she was murdered to cover up the whole illegal way she was handled, especially in light of what was currently going on around the country. They had to silence their living witness. She should have remained silent for her own safety. Moral to this story, when you are in a situation where the odds are stacked against you, please button your lips. She was talking way to much. It's like Mason says, when a woman is in a dysfunctional, abusive relationship, she shouldn't stand up and tell her husband how she's going to leave him and take everything from him. She's 'more than likely end up dead if she messing with a mentally unstable spouse.
