(17,090 posts)It's a good read. I remember being totally sickened by the lynching of James Byrd Jr. and appalled that such senseless torture and violence was happening as we approached the 21st century.
And it must be remembered; many lynchings were not straight out hangings or shootings. They were designed to be slow, painful tortures of the sort used against so called witches, heretics and jews by the 'inquisition'.
Joe has done a good thing by formalising this law.

Then I heard them years later. I was shocked, but -not- surprised since I already knew what lynching was.
