(Reuters) - A decades-old investigation in the U.S. state of Georgia into the murder of a black man in 1983 culminated in the arrest of five white people on Friday, including two law enforcement officers charged with hindering the probe, officials said.

The body of Timothy Coggins, 23, was found on Oct. 9, 1983, in a grassy area near power lines in the community of Sunnyside, about 30 miles (48 km) south of downtown Atlanta.

He had been “brutally murdered” and his body had signs of trauma, the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Murder is murder. If convicted hang ‘em.

And that is correct, the idea of hate crimes was the worst decision ever.

I wonder how many old black on white murders have been reopened.

I suspect this will be headlines for days, especially b/c it involved police - with a TV and theater-release movie in the making.

It will be used as further fodder for BLM violence directed at police and whites.

Meanwhile...

This will never see the light of day in the media:

The Color of Crime - “Blacks are statistically 50 times more likely to attack whites than vice versa”

From today:

3rd (Black) man, father of suspect Jerome Kieffer, arrested in killing of (White) armored truck guard: FBI

Black Accused murderers to be tried as adults for murder of (White) woman in Virginia Beach

IIRC, there is no Statute of Limitations on murder:

I thought it wasn’t good to put racial descriptions of the suspects into news articles?

I know nothing about this case, but one may suspect that in black on white murders there are very few instances of police officers hindering the investigation. Hate crime as a category is not a useful legal concept, but historically, murders of blacks have not always received appropriate police attention.

It’s so disgusting it makes me sick. They need to be taken down. Trump is right. They are not media anymore. They are branch of the democratic body. The worst part

The perps in this case, if found guilty, need to pay for their awful crime.

But as you said, the story of interracial violent crime in the USA is the story of Black savagery. I’ve read somewhere that Blacks, at only 13 percent of the population, commit 80 percent of the interracial violent crime.

But this story out of Georgia fits the false “blacks are victims” ideology to a tee - so we can expect to hear lots about it.

Not surprised to see that LEO's were involved as bad elements.

If they're anything like the ones we have in this Schuylkill County, PA old coal town, it's no wonder. They sit on their asses all day and let the bikers turn Broad Street into a drag strip for hours. Now at night we hear sirens...and rumors that PD and FD are on a bilateral donut run.

Keeping the peace, my ass. But they absolutely excel at parking tickets!

A question of justice for all.

At one time, killing a black man was okay. That led to blacks wanting to kill whites.

No statue of limitations on murder.

An important UNSOLVED murder(?) is that of A. D. King.

He is the late father of Dr. Alveda King.

Alveda has been a strong supporter of TEAM TRUMP.

She was deeply hurt by what happened.

The short of the story was that A. D. King was found in his swimming pool with a serious blow to his head that resulted in severe bleeding.

As though someone came up from behind and hit him and dumped him in the pool.

I am getting sick of RACISM in the SOUTH whether is whites hating blacks, or blacks hating whites.

Justice for all.
