Just what, exactly, are we trying to acquit them of.

A lynching does not automatically mean the act was racially motivated.  

Were they racist?  Based on where they live and knowing that type of area I can say it wouldn't surprise me.

Point missed.

Older white men with that facial hair style are as common as they come in the south.  Also common are the wire rimmed glasses.  At no point did I claim it could be one of them.  I am pointing out that the pictures offered as 'proof' aren't convincing.  Yes, they look similar...so do hundreds, if not thousands, of old white guys.

Point not missed, it doesn't matter how similar your facial hair is if you're six foot damn five... the facial hair and glasses aren't the only factors being considered. Quick question, what purpose do police sketch artists serve?

They serve to give the police and the public a place to start looking.

The pics you posted and claimed are the same guy should be looked at the same way.  Verify the identity.  Just because a two pictures look like they could be the same person doesn't mean they are. 

Let me see the forearms of the mugshot guy.  Does he have a badly faded tattoo?  The guy in the Klan picture does.  Looks old.  Possibly gotten while on military service back in the day.  

Let me see the eye color.  Let me see pictures from the same profile or straight on for comparison.

The real question is - if the surety of guilt is so strong - why are these nozzles fabricating "evidence" that's sole purpose is to prejudice against the accused?

The guilt...for what?  

It's not as if there isn't their own testimony, a video, and a dead body......

Now you're going to lie and say I claimed it was him? Provide the quote.
