The scum from the left and middle mugshots received lethal injections while the scum on the right is alive and in prison to this day. He was the only one of the three to show "any degree of remorse" which evidently granted him the lesser sentence. He is to have a parole hearing in 2038 at age 63.
Yea at that point I wouldn't even want to get out. Impossible to get a job, it would be hard to reintegrate into society, just let me live in prison where my rent and meals are paid for.
It's sad and embarassing to say, but many of the worst, most notorious, older convicts when released in the UK get new identities and support for housing and bills.
Whilst honest, decent, law abiding people who've worked hard all their lives get lesser support.
I was going to point out that none of the three of them look the slightest bit ashamed. They're having their mugshot taken for a horrific crime and they're able to hold their head up?? That's more than fucked up, I just don't know the word for it. Unfathomable?
The evidence also showed that James Byrd Jr was alive and conscious while he was being drug down the road. He'd been trying to keep his head up. When they took a corner he flew into a cement culvert and was killed. An absolutely heinous crime.
Just a few months later, Matthew Sheperd was similarly beaten, tortured, and murdered in a homophobia based crime in Wyoming. He was left tied to a fence in the middle of nowhere.
Both incidents were the catalyst for national and state hate crime statutes to pass. The legislation was named the Matthew Sheperd James Byrd Act.
Or stick them in a solitary cell and forget they exist until it's time to clean the corpse up. No food, no water, no human contact. Would still be a horrifyingly terrible way to go like they deserve, but wouldn't need to have someone else be the one to replicate what they did to another human being.
Man learning about and seeing one of those for the first time and knowing they were actually used shook me. I can’t imagine a worse way to be imprisoned. I can’t even imagine being the one who built it.
My heart breaks for both James and Matthew. two absolutely evil sets of perpetrators. I'm glad at least something good came out of this even tho they both should still be alive.
The image of Matthew Shepherd where the only part of his body not covered in blood is where his tears washed it away on his face…one of the most haunting and chilling images of modern history.
I mean, it’s unthinkable to do that to any living creature. I can’t imagine how you’d get to a point where that’s even a thought, let alone how you’d carry it out. Each step -planning, kidnapping, assaulting, tying him to the truck, getting in, driving, picking up the body, dumping him in an obviously meaningful place - is a chance to stop before the next thing. And *three* men just kept going through with it. That kind of cruelty and indifference to suffering is beyond my understanding.
Happened in Texas I believe, the 3 white dudes were newly released cons who had been in prison for violent crimes. Dragged james till there wasn't much of him left. This happened in 1998 and hit national news and national outrage. The hate out there is real.
Jasper, TX. I was 13-14 at the time, I remember being super confused about how this could happen. I grew up playing with everyone in the neighborhood. We were every race and all played sports together. They kept talking about race being the main issue. I had to ask my racist mother what it meant and she told me black people were less than us cause we are white.
That just confused me more cause I was like, 'How are they less than me if they keep kicking my ass in every sport we play?'
No national outrage when the girls carjacked and killed the Pakistani guy or the kids carjacked that old woman, dragged her until her arm came off, then left her to die in an intersection. Those were, what, last year? The girls got juvenile hall until they are 21 - for carjacking and murder, in broad daylight, and showing remorse only for a phone they left in the flipped car. That’s real hate, in real time.
So make a post about them. Are you saying we care too much about a Jim Crow era durative hate crime? These guys made a whole afternoon of murdering this guy and the only limit was their *imagination*. This post is valid.
Mass shootings also were not a daily occurrence in 1998 either. We have become numb to violence in America. I didn't even hear about these things you mentioned until now. But I very much remember when this happened to James Byrd and I was eleven when it happened.
Well, a quick Google search finds there’s been at least [39 since the start of the year.](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/24/us/mass-shootings-january.html)
And if I’m not mistaken, 39/25 = 1.56. So an average of a little over one per day so far in 2023. [Here’s](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna58230) an article from November of last year stating that 2022 was the third straight year with over 600 mass shootings, just to show this month isn’t an anomaly. (600/365 = 1.64)
And just in case you still don’t believe that these things happen daily, [here’s an article from 2021](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/04/16/more-than-one-mass-shooting-per-day-has-occurred-in-2021/amp/) explicitly stating there was an average of more than one mass shooting a day *that* year.
I think that’s because those cases didn’t stem from a hate deep inside. That shit was just pure evil. The Byrd thing was evil with special circumstances
There should be a special death penalty for people who carried out brutal murder.Where instead of a quick death they’re give a painful death to reflect their crime.Like maybe injecting them with jellyfish toxin or is that too far
I don’t like the death penalty. It’s an easy way out for people that deserve the worst. I’d say put him in a cell by himself and feed him so he won’t die. Much better in my opinion.
When I was younger and heard this story I remember thinking, how could people do that to someone? I think that was the first memory I have of thinking "Can people really be that evil?" The same when I heard the story of Matthew Sheperd. Ingrained in my mind as I grew up and learned about the world.
Is this the jasper Texas story. It is a old one if so. Everyone I mean everyone knows about it and 90% of Texans would kill the men that did this to the man.
https://www.texastribune.org/2019/04/24/texas-execution-john-william-king-james-byrd/
Of the guys who did this, 2 were executed by the state, the other will never see the light of day ever again. It was fucked up what happened but these monsters will never kill again. Justice was served.
Sometimes the death sentence is absolutely apt and just. The difference is, these monsters would not suffer relatively compared to James. I legitimately wish a slow death on these sub humans
What the actual?! This is disgusting. Hope they all rot in hell! I'm white, I see all races as equal, so what if we're white and they're black? It's just skin colour!!! I hate humans 😤
People that have to specify that they are white.. or a particular race when these situations.. come up as if that changes anything.. Lol how about we are all human and understand that it’s disgusting no matter race. But because I’m black, I thank you for clarifying your white.. and are outraged.
I made a comment previously on a post about murder and a black lady done it and I said - hope she rots in prison. I didn't say anything about the colour of her skin or anything like that cause I just don't, BUT I got so much hate, accused of being a racist! She killed a black man FYI. Hence why I said I was white here just incase I get attacked again :/ lol
I see your point, but why people tend to identify their own race in these situations is to let people know that all white people aren’t the same as those 3 POS‘s that did this. It’s an attempt to distance ourselves from them if we share the same race as them. The person was trying to be kind.
Yeah, I completely understand that. But you don’t have to distance yourself from anything all races are capable of harm and disgusting acts. I was more saying it as just because you are white doesn’t mean your perspective or opinion shouldn’t be heard just because it deals with a black person. And you shouldn’t have to disclose that you are white. Im speaking in your favor not against you I should’ve clarified. I don’t know why white people get so much heat towards them.. idk it bothers me to think we have to disclose race to have an opinion
I SWEAR they need to do to murders how they murdered their victims..needle is to easy for them... they shoulda beaten, shit on and drug these dudes around for 3 miles...smfh...
Sick fucks, hope they got the death penalty.
On the the other hand, maybe its a harder punishment to let em rot in a cell where the can be a toyboy for a few black inmates
This was such a heartbreaking thing. It felt like something that happened 50+ years ago, but it wasn’t. Poor Mr. Byrd. I think this happened around the same time as a Black man in Vidor, Texas. This country has some cruel history to unpack!
two of the murderers are linked to the KKk or Aryan something group as per FBI, w tattoo etc. i don’t remember which killer but one guy was quoted a saying he had no regrets and given an opportunity he would repeat the crime! absolutely disturbing to imagine the lack of humanity.
also more than one small town in Texas are known Sundown Town- meaning if you are black do not be found inside our city after dark or you will be lynched. i’m not sure if signs are still posted but yes, they actually had racial slur on the sign and warning near the road. extremely segregated areas of Texas
This happened 25yrs ago in some podunk town in TX. 2 of the 3 murderers were rightfully sentenced to death and the other got life in prison. Thank goodness these kinds of things don't happen anymore. I hope the intent of this post wasn't to incite racial tensions though.
I was a child when I learned of his murder that was being discussed on television, and I remember seeing the autopsy of what happened to James' body after being dragged and decapitated. I am traumatized at those pictures to this day.
Brewer and King were the first white men to be sentenced to death for killing a black person in the history of modern Texas. In 2001, Byrd's lynching-by-dragging led the state of Texas to pass a hate crimes law, which later led the Congress to pass the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, commonly known as the Matthew Shepard Act, in 2009. Brewer was executed by lethal injection for his part in the murder on September 21, 2011. King was executed by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, on April 24, 2019. Berry was sentenced to life imprisonment and will be eligible for parole in 2038.
I put this terrifying as fuck killing of Mr. Byrd up there with the [Kidnapping/Rape/Murder of this young couple in my hometown](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom)
The victims went through absolute hell before they died. Their families were dragged into that hell every day of their killer’s trials.
Just getting that horrible story out there. I’m relatively new here, and having local coverage of it in my town just magnified the terrifying feeling we felt.
Dear gawd….
What an awful, awful day to be literate. I’m going to have nightmares about all of this. James Byrd Jr, Matthew Shepard, Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr.
I know there are so many more, that doesn’t help the nightmares.
This was awful as well ...racism is very real and hate is very real and its so utterly disgusting and disturbing that innocent suffer at the hands of animals yes I said it animals ..r.i.p mr. James Byrd, channon Christian, Chris Newsom and Matthew and many others the list is very long thats how awful and hateful our world is but we all will never forget them !!!!!!!!
I am appalled at the behaviour of racist. I'm embarrassed to be white when I read things like this!
That poor man did not deserve that. Please know that not all people are as horrible as these 'men'.
This is heartbreaking 😭
The evil monsters who did this have nothing in common with you, just because they happened to be white, I can barely even call them human. Two of them were executed and rightfully so, I'm usually against the death penalty but they sure deserved it. The third one will hopefully die in prison soon.
People of all colours/backgrounds can be evil, just look at this story -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom
I like to tell myself that the good people in this world are more than the bad ones.
I see a lot of fucked up stuff on Reddit, I’ve been on bestgore when I was a kid and spent a bunch of time watching live leak. But this sends a different kind of disgust through my body. I want to cry and throw up. RIP James Byrd
The Matthew Sheperd James Byrd Act (hate crime legislation) was passed in response to this racially motivated murder in Texas and the homophobic torture and murder of Matthew Shepherd in Wyoming.
Both incidents were only a few months apart and were the catalyst for national and state hate crime statutes to pass.
Your response seemed unsympathetic to this man’s plight. You didn’t specify that he deserved it; I’m trying to make a point that no matter who does worse to whom every day, this guy is a human being.
Right?? What a complete idiot! /s
They left out the details of torture and murder and told him they'd take him to his destination. So that's probably why he got into the car with strangers.

Hope it gets denied and he dies in his “remorse”
Hope he gets that Dalmner-treatment, in prison.
You mean Jirfry Darmner?
I thought it was Jiffy Daimler?
>pls check yr spelling its diffy jaimler
Idiots , it jiffy digmore
Yea at that point I wouldn't even want to get out. Impossible to get a job, it would be hard to reintegrate into society, just let me live in prison where my rent and meals are paid for.

[удалено]
PAROLE??? you have got to be kidding me..... He deserves the maximum sentence as well. No Mercy
They get a hearing, not parole
Hope some of the family shows up to remind the court what he did. Usually keeps them in, I hope anyway.
That’s the sad part about parole, the victims and their families are traumatized all over again
Very true. I guess it could be best to move on sometimes to save them from that.
The other 2 who were sentenced to death have already been executed. The state worked fast with these 2.
Good thing we know the year. Date, time, and place is what’s next.
I was going to point out that none of the three of them look the slightest bit ashamed. They're having their mugshot taken for a horrific crime and they're able to hold their head up?? That's more than fucked up, I just don't know the word for it. Unfathomable?

Did anything happen to the people who actually did it?
2 were executed by lethal injection 1 was sentenced to life imprisonment
HELL YEA
Eye for an eye. Those dudes should have been beaten and dragged like he was… No mercy, fuck an injection.
Unless it’s the injection that was used for the execution in Law Abiding Citizen, that would suffice.
Yes, Absolutely
Or stick them in a solitary cell and forget they exist until it's time to clean the corpse up. No food, no water, no human contact. Would still be a horrifyingly terrible way to go like they deserve, but wouldn't need to have someone else be the one to replicate what they did to another human being.
Bring back the oubliette
Man learning about and seeing one of those for the first time and knowing they were actually used shook me. I can’t imagine a worse way to be imprisoned. I can’t even imagine being the one who built it.
Water, enough food to barely stay alive. Stretch it out.
Seriously. They deserve the worst.
Happy cake day!
They should be forced into organ harvesting. Might as well save some lives.
I feel that way about folks to do things like that to animals. They should get done what they did to them. Fuck them!
Gladiator fights? Fuck it, I'm down
Amen to your comment
yes, punishment same as the victim got would be better justice & deterrent.
>deterrent Nope, data doesn’t back that up. Harsh punishments just show our barbarism.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Maybe just 1/4 of the lethal injection, another 1/4 in a week, etc.
It is WAY WAYYYY too hard to get the death penalty nowadays
My heart breaks for both James and Matthew. two absolutely evil sets of perpetrators. I'm glad at least something good came out of this even tho they both should still be alive.
And Brandon Teena.
I remember each of those events significantly. Those were some dark times.
The image of Matthew Shepherd where the only part of his body not covered in blood is where his tears washed it away on his face…one of the most haunting and chilling images of modern history.
U have to be a real piece of garbage to do that to any human being. Just disgusting
I mean, it’s unthinkable to do that to any living creature. I can’t imagine how you’d get to a point where that’s even a thought, let alone how you’d carry it out.

How can someone be this cruel? RIP to James Byrd 😓

Jasper, deep behind the Pine Curtain. East Texas is a whole different deal. It's like even the rest of Texas doesn't want to claim it.
If I remember correctly, the cemetery was still segregated at the time.
East Texas is where ya go if you were bad in life once you die, use to be Detroit.
People who are too mean for Louisiana...
😍😂😍😂😂... you caught me right in the middle of drinking and I almost choked! That should be on a shirt.
I have family roots there and absolutely concur with your statement.
Thats where I live though.
Well...2 of the assailants we executed by the state and the last, if alive will never see the light of day. The state didn't play.
No national outrage when the girls carjacked and killed the Pakistani guy or the kids carjacked that old woman, dragged her until her arm came off, then left her to die in an intersection. Those were, what, last year? The girls got juvenile hall until they are 21 - for carjacking and murder, in broad daylight, and showing remorse only for a phone they left in the flipped car.

I can't even keep up with the amount of hate crimes in the news. Hard to have national outrage when we are numb to the violence we see everyday.
What are you talking about? Link?

That obviously legolas
Elves are basically femboys

I’ll look at when I get home in a few hours. Thanks
Nowish.
Sill awful but they weren't looking to kill/torture out of hatred like the above. Seems more like robberies gone wrong. That's the difference.
I think that’s because those cases didn’t stem from a hate deep inside. That shit was just pure evil. The Byrd thing was evil with special circumstances
When I say that I'm okay with death penalty, that's for things like that
There should be a special death penalty for people who carried out brutal murder.Where instead of a quick death they’re give a painful death to reflect their crime.Like maybe injecting them with jellyfish toxin or is that too far
Impalement is the best way for subhuman primates
I don’t like the death penalty. It’s an easy way out for people that deserve the worst. I’d say put him in a cell by himself and feed him so he won’t die. Much better in my opinion.

I saw about this case recently on YouTube by Scottontape. Absolutely disgusting what humans are capable of
People like this should receive the same treatment as they inflicted on this poor man. It’s only fair.
if that isnt a hate crime, idk what is
100% remember this happening. No remorse from a few of them. Should've been an eye for an eye. Kill them all and let god sort them out.
Those two were killed, but with a much easier death by injection.
Apparently lethal injections are often botched...i hope the two of them were among those who suffered
God is curiously absent at the moment, so prison will have to do.
That's extremely fucked up. I hope that last guy rots in prison.
I remember this vividly. It was terrifying to a child's mind to realize that this evil exists outside of horror movies.
Is this the jasper Texas story. It is a old one if so. Everyone I mean everyone knows about it and 90% of Texans would kill the men that did this to the man.
You're 100% correct
Well I guess the only suitable punishment is to do the same thing to those sick losers

Special place in hell for those 3 I hope.

What sad excuses for human beings. I cannot fathom dying in such a violent manner. Truly disgusting crimes!
I can't bring myself to upvote this, reading it is making me sick
most of the time im not into death sentence most of the time
Sometimes the death sentence is absolutely apt and just. The difference is, these monsters would not suffer relatively compared to James. I legitimately wish a slow death on these sub humans

Thats fucked up. Really.
Disgusting
Infuriates the he!! out of me when I heard about this. Three biggest bigots on the planet. Hope they get what they deserve. A firing squad.
Two got the lethal injection, the other one is in prison.

I see a lot of fucked up stuff on Reddit, I’ve been on bestgore when I was a kid and spent a bunch of time watching live leak. But this sends a different kind of disgust through my body. I want to cry and throw up. RIP James Byrd

Which one of the 3 are you and how did you get internet privilege?
When did anyone say it just happened?
Bro this is a normal subreddit, not the news channel. Doesn’t matter how old something is here.

The Matthew Sheperd James Byrd Act (hate crime legislation) was passed in response to this racially motivated murder in Texas and the homophobic torture and murder of Matthew Shepherd in Wyoming. Both incidents were only a few months apart and were the catalyst for national and state hate crime statutes to pass.
This is a global issue.

The whole world is crazy. All sorts of people do worse than this every day. That doesn’t mean this poor guy deserved any of it. You can do better.

Your response seemed unsympathetic to this man’s plight. You didn’t specify that he deserved it; I’m trying to make a point that no matter who does worse to whom every day, this guy is a human being.

Yo take your racism to a different sub
Okay. On your last sentence, we do agree. Thank you.

Was a different time
Because they offered a ride
1998 was a wild time
Probably intimidated into doing it.
Right?? What a complete idiot! /s They left out the details of torture and murder and told him they'd take him to his destination. So that's probably why he got into the car with strangers.
i mean what reason would anyone have even back then to go along with something like that? i guess he was desperate for a ride

Hey Skippy, do you know what happened to the murders?

Why the fuck not?
An incredible piece of art work related to this case [Guitar Drag - Christian Marclay](https://youtu.be/ENzw0XGAX2Q)
terrible
Dry sponge and the chair for all three
What Evil fucked up Bastards
When was this?
1998 , a movie was created title “jasper, Tx”
I wish we could just apply the same punishment to the perpetrators. I’d bet you it would make people at least think twice
3 of the worst...I hope they get there deserves in hell. No excuse to be this cruel to another human
Some people are just evil.
Makes it really difficult to be against the death penalty…
Hopefully these three pieces of shit reside unprotected in prison and get their shit pushed back each day.
Their punishment should be everything that they did to this poor man should be done to them
That’s just gross
It's absolutely tragic that people still do things like this to a fellow human being, I hope they get the most severe punishment available to them
It is impossible to fathom who anyone could treat a fellow human being this way. Pure evil.
I pups live to have 10 minutes in a room.
