I don't know I believe racism only exists because the people who wanted to exist keep talking about it. I never believed in racism and I always thought people are people. And the n word is about attitude and not color of a person. People would stop talking about racism it would go away. If people would stop claiming racism it would go away. But I do believe the guy who's talking about back in the 80s how it was like taboo for a white girl to go out with a black guy or vice versa unless because we had pre Boomer parents who grew up in an entirely different world than we did. Their parents endured world wars and the depression. Still if you were a good boy or a girl you married within the color of your skin are you dated within the color of your skin for fear of upsetting your parents. But that's not the world today. Like I said, to me people are people and it doesn't matter what the color of their skin is. I wish everybody thought that way.
Hate doesn't need a reason. If you grow up ignorant it's usually passed along. And fear and depravity are rampant in this fallen world. RIP Tim! 🙏♥️🙏
For bigots stupid is forever.
Such a sad day for our humanity!😢😢😢
😮🤬😳🥺🤔 tsi Tsalagi 🤔 I grew up in deep southern Georgia Spalding, Griffin, St. Simons, Tybee 🤔🤬 in the early 70's I remember white only fountains and bathrooms ( and yes we were in the same class as the African Americans🤬) My ol man was 6 feet and as big as an oak through the chest muscles you get from real work, I remember a store clerk telling my ol man we don't serve your kind 😮 the flash of anger in his eyes will forever haunt me I thought he was going to rip that white man to pieces 😮 he sighed looked at me and said little man some people you just can't reach😮 I'll never forget those words and the lesson learned 🤬🤔 you racist bigots need to let go your time is no more 😮 God bless and keep you
It's sad so much haters in the world. I don't see color I see the person.
Thanks to forensics and d.n.a., a lot of old men are going to prison these days.
I grew up in SoCali….. married a southern boy. My first visit to meet my in-laws was quite an eye opener. There was definitely (still) small town issues. Young and naive, I had my first glimpse of what the South held from the past but never gave up. Thankfully I was only visiting. I really didn’t want to ever live down there…..
Dreadful for the young man. His picture shows a bright, happy guy.Should have had a future. RIP 🎉♥ ❤🎉
This just burns me up! I live in the south. I still hear whispers of racism. It’s kept alive by ones who want it to stay alive. Every soul is beautifully made and the color of your skin doesn’t define who you are. I don’t think Tim was out there alone in that field. God is near to the broken hearted and crushed in spirit. He was there to take Tim home.
I graduated in the south in the 80s. We grew up blacks and whites together. Inter racial relationships, marriages, etc were normal to us. We always spent the night at each other's houses as kids. This is sad to see.
It’s heartbreaking and infuriating what some groups of people have had to go through in this world, but even more so in this country where we have always been told that we were ALL created equal—what a lie that is! My heart goes out to this young man, his family/loved ones, and anyone who has ever been treated as less than.
THIS CASE COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED SOOOO EASILY IF PEOPLE WHERE NOT SO STUCK UP THEIR OWN BUTS TO LISTEN
Racism and Hate is an Epidemic Rip Mr Timothy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤴🏿✊🏿❤️
Thanks to the Sherrif The Special Investigator The DA lady the jurors the judge after so many years of racism cold case is Resolved
I’ll admit there’s racism in the USA, so long as that woman admits it ain’t everybody everywhere, and nor to the same degree in everyone.
😮 33 years?! 😢 Wow 😳 and poetic justice 😊
😢😢😢hate can never win 😢😢😢
So sad some people can b so cruel poor guy so young 😢
"If you love in a world where you think racism doesn't exist, then you're in a very shaded bubble. The onky way to solve racism is to admit it exists." Couldn't be more true!! I'm glad they didn't cut that part out. It was deep. (I'm white)
Prayers for this young man’s family
I frickin' love that they brought the original investigator back. Bad A88! Great Job, Team!!!
I am so, so sick of the dropping of “race” into EVERY conversation or comment. Can’t we, mainly blacks, MOVE ON? That “card” is ragged, worn out, way, way, overplayed, and sickening. Choose another card. Better yet, get a new deck.

What’s up with using the phrase, “the ‘n’ word?” I’m a teacher, and I hear EVERY SINGLE DAY blacks calling each other “the ‘n’ word.” What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. No pun intended. I tell it exactly as it is.
…… And why are the corrupt deputies and the racist, crooked sheriff of the time not being prosecuted for their overt anti-justice?!
❤Sending love & prayers from Bama❤

Hopefully when Trump gets back into office this country will go back to how it was back then. Awesome!!
Absolutely disgusting what the young man indured.
Racism is still very much alive, and its not just happening in the south.
Born and raised in southern Ohio, and those hills are full of racist.
14.07, that is the current state flag. In 1983 the flag would have been the Stars and Bars. But the current Georgia flag is a Confederate flag too, so welcome to Georgia.
When she said they didn’t put a headstone up because they didn’t want it to be desecrated was absolutely my breaking point. My heart aches for this family ❤️
So they stole money from someone. $600 in the 1980s? So is it a racing or is the fact that he’s a filthy? You people lie, cheat and steal and then you get mad when you put in your place.
Imagine being a race that goes to another continent to steal human beings, then bring them back home to treat them as garbage for free labor. Then imagine later when you are no longer allowed to use them for free, you fill yourself full of rage and say they have no right to live in "your" country.
Imagine your race having so much disdain for another, that you break the commandments that you supposedly live by, and take that person's life. Now imagine you are so full of self-righteousness, that you are unable to take a step back and ask yourself who the monster really is. ☠️
What struck me was the look on the faces of those murderer's when the officer was testifying. They looked ashamed and guilty. As for Tim's family, I have no words that would bring them any comfort other than the hope that they will see him again when they pass themselves. And I am not so ignorant to believe that crimes like this are not still happening. We can do better and must do better!
This case is heartbreaking. He was murdered by demons that night.
I knew it. I was watching this thinking. I bet some of the officers were in the KKK
This made me cry and sad
Hey lady, the confederate flag is not a symbol for racism.
Lmao wait they said the police don’t have those type of Americans in there profession
I remember when I heard this story on the news. It was so horrible to hear how this young guy, who was only 23yo, was murdered and to hear the horrific details was awful. I have thought about this case throughout all these years wondering if they ever got the ppl who did it. Im so glad they finally solved this‼️Thx to the new sheriff in town (literally) for reopening the case and thanks to the 1st police officer who solved the case back in ‘83, the family finally got Justice after 34yrs! My prayers to Timothy, his family and all who knew & loved him❤
PLEASE CONTINUE TO REOPEN THESE TYPE OF CASES IN THE SOUTH!!!! Theres many more families needing the same type of JUSTICE!
I am Sorry he had to go through that and his Family also 😢Some people are Hateful and Ignorant
Saltines are evil and these are the same people that they allow to be police officers smh ….This country will never be equal racism is taught and their hate for blacks is passed down from generation to generation
This really burns me up 😡 thanks sheriff dix & the GBI & the DA the judge all of yall that made sure Tim got some justice before they all died out!
