Does anyone sympathize/empathize with the killers of Emmett Till?

Does anyone care to sympathize with his killers? Perhaps you may think that you hate it when someone whistles at a lady. Perhaps you may understand where his killers were coming from but this was wrong.

Is this the case for anyone?

Does anyone want to create excuses? Perhaps reason through it?

Personally I think it's awful and there is no sympathy or empathy on my parts and I don't need to reason it or excuse it.

Seriously Rudey what is the point of this thread? What type of morally bereft person would sympathize with Emmett's killers? Or more to the point which of us wouldn't be outraged and disgusted by the racists who murdered Emmitt?
