John William King, one of three scum who dragged and killed the 49-year-old black man named James Byrd Jr back in 1998 was finally executed today. King, along with two others dragged Byrd from behind a truck in one of the most notorious hate crimes. If Bernie Sanders had his way, John William King would have been voting since his arrest in 1998 and would have cast ballots for Democrats all the way up until the 2018 mid-term election. Let that sink in for a bit.
