Hell Has A New Resident

In 1963 in Baltimore, a wealthy young white thug named William Zantzinger got roaringly drunk, hit several workers at the Emerson Hotel before hitting barmaid Hattie Carroll with his cane several times, while uttering vile racial epithets. The next day, Hattie Carroll died of a stroke brought on by the beating. Zantzinger, the son of a wealthy family, got off with a six-month jail sentence and a fine.

Bob Dylan's song, "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" made Zantzinger infamous, and was one of his most wrenching civil rights ballads. Listening to it will infuriate you.

Zantzinger died at the age of 69 several days ago, as the New York Times obit reports. He never expressed remorse, so may his gravesite become a urinal for generations to come.
