Carolyn Bryant Won't Sleep Well These Final Days!

Emmett Till's death will not be in vein. 

Threats of violence shuts down a Kentucky city. The reason is the woman responsible for a 14 year old boy's death in Money, Mississippi back in the 1950s has residents angry and demanding she leave town or else.

The New Black Panthers, a Black extremist group have threatened to use its resources if the Bowling Green Police refuse to arrest Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who accused Emmett Till of whistling at her. It led her husband Roy Bryant and his half brother J. W. Milam lynching him.

His death in 1955 launched the Civil Rights Movement. The two men were later acquitted of murder and went on to sell their story. The woman would end up going into hiding until recently. Someone revealed the woman lived in the southern Kentucky city. 

Somebody wake up Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). He might want to keep his toupee on when they come knocking on his door demanding his racist ass do something.

A Christmas parade in Bowling Green, Kentucky, was canceled on Saturday after potential threats were made against planned protesters, according to law enforcement officials.

Civil rights organizations held a "Justice for Emmett Till" protest at the Justice Center and at an apartment at Shive Lane, where Bryant Donham lived, Warren County Sheriff Brett Hightower told ABC News.

The old woman finally was found to be living in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The Bowling Green Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff's Office said in a video on Facebook on Saturday that they learned of threats made against the groups and are currently working alongside the FBI and Homeland Security to investigate the reported threats.

"The specific threat is threatening to shoot anyone who is protesting and anyone who is helping the protesters," Sheriff Hightower said in the video. "We have not been able to determine the validity of this threat."

Hightower said that around 20 to 25 people showed up, some armed, to protest at both sites around noon, local time. The protests were peaceful, the sheriff said.

Jaycee Christmas Parade organizers canceled their plans for the parade hours before its scheduled start.

Come and take it.

"Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling today's parade. The safety of our participants and spectators is ALWAYS [our] main focus," organizers wrote on Facebook early Saturday morning. "We have been in constant communication with law enforcement and have felt, all week, that we could provide a safe, fun event. With this latest information, we knew that postponing was our best option."

SoKY Marketplace's Mistletoe Market, also in Bowling Green, was canceled because of the protests, it announced on Facebook.

The Bowling Green Police Department did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

The protests come months after a grand jury in Leflore County, Mississippi, decided not to indict Bryant Donham for her involvement in Till's death, citing insufficient evidence.
