His mother chose open casket for the same reason you reacted the way you did. Shock, disgust, whichever.

To show the truth of the crime. Americans are very sheltered.

Frankly the pic of the gentleman in the suit has not started to bloat yet.

Some will say that this is after the undertakers work and they are right. But again the pic does not match the story. This is of a man in his fifties of sixties in my opinion.

That is definitely 14yr old Emmett Till. Racism is something I will never understand nor would I want to. His mother wanted the world to see what they did to him. That's not a 50 yr old man, that's what those peckerwoods did to him.

"Never understand racism". Uses "Peckerwoods" (racist term) a second later....

I agree, he would have to be some sort of delinquent to act like that and during those times black kids didn't behave like that due to the fear of white mobs just looking for a any reason what so ever. Much likelier she was a rotten old cow who felt disrespected.

Pretty harsh for raping someone. I know they say he's 14 but that's obviously some media spin the man in that coffin is in his mid to late 20s at least

As a Mortician, I wouldn't put that on display like that... Black shoe polish Really Does Work wonders
