One of three men convicted for the murder in 1998 of James Byrd Jr, one of modern America's worst hate crimes, has been executed in Texas.
Byrd, a black man, was beaten, chained to a truck and dragged for miles by three white men. His murder prompted Congress to pass hate crime legislation in 2009. John William King, 44, an avowed white supremacist, is the second man to be executed over the killing. He had filed multiple appeals in the case.

Prosecutors depicted King, a self-professed racist with a criminal record, as the ringleader of the group of men who attacked Byrd.
Lawrence Russell Brewer, the other white supremacist who took part in Byrd's killing, was executed in 2011, although King had been sentenced earlier.

The third man, Shawn Allen Berry, was spared the death sentence and is serving a life term as he did not share the white supremacist beliefs of Brewer and King. He will be up for parole in 2038, US media report.

In the early hours of 7 June 1998, in Jasper, Texas, Byrd, 49, encountered Brewer, King and Berry on the way home from a party.
The three men assaulted Byrd, then chained him by his ankles to the back of a pickup truck and dragged him for several miles until he was dismembered.

Police found parts of Byrd's body in front of a black church just outside the city; the rest was located over a mile away.
Authorities followed a blood trail of evidence - including a lighter engraved with "KKK" and King's nickname, Possum - placing the three men at the scene of the crime.

During King's trial, prosecutors showed evidence detailing his hatred of black people, including a letter he attempted to send Brewer in jail glorifying their murder, US media reported.

"Regardless of the outcome of this, we have made history and shall die proudly remembered if need be... Much Aryan love, respect, and honour, my brother in arms."

King had spoken of starting a race war and of initiating members of a white supremacist gang he belonged to by having them kidnap and murder black people, court documents showed. He was convicted by a jury that deliberated for just over two hours. The case sparked nationwide horror and outrage, and in 2001, Texas passed the James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Act to toughen punishments for such crimes.

Congress followed, enacting the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 to strengthen laws against crimes motivated by a person's race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability or national origin.

King has repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to appeal his case at the state and federal level. He has maintained he is innocent, blaming Berry alone for the murder, and arguing that his lawyers did not properly defend him. Jasper's former sheriff, Billy Rowles, told KFDM News that King's execution would finally provide closure for the community.

"It's time... Most of the people in Jasper will believe this is the end of it."

On Monday, the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole voted unanimously to deny King a commutation or a 120-day reprieve.

Last October, the US Supreme Court declined to take up his appeal.

King was pronounced dead on Wednesday, April 24 at 19:08 local time (23:08 GMT) at the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville.

People should please stop this rubbish black and white thing!
This is 21st century and the colors of our skins as we can see now is NOT BLACK.

And I have never seen a white skinned colour person too before.

What we have now is different shades of brown and pale skins.
I don't have problems with black colour though but I find it offensive if I'm called black because THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN IS NOT!

The verdict on this case is more an exception than the norm.

There are so many instances of unarmed blacks getting brutally murdered in the US and the murderers don’t ever go to jail because they claimed self defense...

America. A land of law and order.
A land where everyone is answerable to the law.
A land where EVERY crime is investigated.
A land where EVERY criminal knows that he can never be 100% sure of getting away with his crime.

America is not perfect, but it is the shining example for the world today.

Rossikk:


You dey mind the goat?

I just KNEW somebody would use this as a chance to kiss America's ass. The same America where cops kill blacks all the time and the cops are allowed to walk, based on flimsy excuses like ''oh I felt threatened by him (even though he wasn't armed)''

Those cases, Nigerians don't want to hear about. When you post them, they'll pretend they didn't see it.

The ones they want to hear are these 'good' stories so they can play happy slave and kiss whitey's butt.

Shameless, self-hating slaves.

Rossikk:


YOU ARE VERY STUPID. Don't use your dull brain to find out what really goes on in America, where blacks are regularly brutalised and shot like dogs by the police who are never held accountable. Is it not your fellow blacks on YouTube posting their experiences of police brutality in America? When will your eyes see those ones, or are you too busy being a slave and a dumbass coconut to know what the fck is going on with your fellow black folk there?

ReeLoaDead:
I did not mean to hurt your sensitive feelings. Should I buy you mineral/malt/stout or something stronger so that you stop whining??

I swear... we need serious investment in education in order to enlighten the people.
Very few Nigerians are awake. Most are in a coma and doing exactly what they’ve been programmed to do.

Rossikk:


The riposte of a stupid, self hating slave.

NO. I do NOT want a US visa. I am perfectly comfortable where I am. And even if I wasn't, I would STILL not romanticise America. I would call out police brutality in the US, especially against blacks, because I am not a dumbass SLAVE like you who pretends not to see American evil out of desperation for 'visa'.
