Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
I watched a interview with Vlad and francese and he mentioned that Greg scarpa was hired by the fbi to get involved in the Mississippi burning murders where he was hunting KKK members or something to that affect does anyone here have info on that whole thing? That’s the first I’ve ever heard of this is there any validation to these claims?

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
He was involved in "interrogating" a suspect. In reality he put a gun to the guys head and made him tell where the bodies of the 3 communists were.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
There’s actually some confusion over which case it was. It was initially thought to be the Mississippi Burning case but there’s some speculation it was another civil rights case in Mississippi that same year involving the murder of black store owner Vernon Dahmer. He volunteered his grocery store as a location for blacks to pay their poll tax to vote, and the Klan burned his store down killing him and nearly killing his 10 year old daughter.
Either way the story is the same. Scarpa bought a tv or something from this store that was owned by one of the Klansmen that killed Dahmer. His name was Lawrence Byrd. Well Scarpa buys the tv and Byrd helps him carry it to the car. When they got to his car, Scarpa pistol whipped him, kidnapped him, took him to some house, roughed him up, and stuck a gun in his mouth. The guy gave everyone up. And then they had to take him to the hospital lol. This is an exact quote from the local DA who visited Byrd in the hospital to further interrogate him after Scarpa humiliated him: “Lawrence was a big guy—a rawboned country boy. But he was beat up so bad that he was never the same after that.” He ended up dying in prison. He had no clue who Scarpa was and never found out.
This piece from the New Yorker on Scarpa goes into detail about it. I think Scarpa’s girlfriend may have gotten the cases mixed up but he definitely helped out in one of them.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
Ok this article says he helped out in both cases. Scarpa’s girlfriend went along on one of the trips and he went by himself on the other.

I’m sure she loved taking a vacation to rural Mississippi. Staying in a cock roach motel, eating lunch and dinner at a gas station, and her bf being treated/looked at just like the burned bodies.Amershire_Ed wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 5:30 am Ok this article says he helped out in both cases.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
Yeah three commies. The whole "civil rights" movement was riddled with commies and even outright financed by communists. Learn some history. And today we can see the Marxist ideology of it as clear as day with what is happening before eyes since, unlike in the 1960s, they don't even really try to hide it anymore.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
There are some legitimate communists in this country, but most of us "commies" are just people who want something in return for the ungodly amount of taxes we're forced to pay. I don't necessarily mind paying taxes, but I expect something in return for them. I'm giving up 25% of my income for virtually nothing, while billion-dollar corporations pay nothing and still get hundreds of millions of dollars in government handouts at my expense. How is that fair?Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 10:25 am Yeah three commies. The whole "civil rights" movement was riddled with commies and even outright financed by communists.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
Huh? Since when are people who don't want higher taxes or want fair taxation considered communists?

Since we've been labeled socialists and communists by right-wingers who don't seem to know what either one actually is or the difference between the two.Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 11:29 am Huh?

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
I've never seen any so called right winger call someone wants lower taxes a Communist. It is the lefties who want higher taxes (hence why all the highest taxed areas are liberal strongholds) to outright wealth confiscation.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
I'm not necessarily in favor of lowering taxes—I'm actually a huge proponent of raising corporate taxes significantly. I was referring to the right-wingers who seem to think that we're communists for wanting things like universal healthcare, affordable education, paid sick leave, higher wages, paid maternity/paternity leave, etc.Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 11:42 am I've never seen any so called right winger call someone wants lower taxes a Communist.

Re: Scarpa and the mississippi burning case
Well that is because those who publically advocate for the above in this country are almost without exception Marxists. Hence why the above policies (which I fully support by the way, albeit in a different form than what is normally talked about) are associated with the commies.
