Evil Lou, just Evil.. From article; “Although the Supreme Court says cases like theirs are unconstitutional going forward, it left the decision about what to do with those convicted long ago to the states. And Louisiana alone says they should stay behind bars.”

The LA supreme Court that said Jim crow verdicts couldn't be overturned retroactively was Republicans. The governor that signed Act 10 upholding those Jim crow verdicts was Republican.

The longest filibuster in history was 75 days staged by Democrats fighting against the Republicans who freed the slaves, and now wanted to grant civil rights to African-Americans.

From the article... a swastika was drawn on Gray's case file. The DA's office doesn't deny it.

From ProPublica article: a Nazi symbol was drawn by someone in the DA's office onto the case file of a Black man From ProPublica article: a Nazi symbol was drawn by someone in the DA's office onto the case file of a Black man, and the DA's office doesn't deny it.
