Wikipedia tells me 8. Not sure what lots is - 8 in 40 years? Still too many.Quote:

The only thing missing was a rope and a tree."[176][177]Quote:

First, even one event of lynching is tragic. Don't you agree?Quote:

What I could understand from this mans show is that he is extremely upset that the justice system got it wrong. Of course it is his opinion, and he will find any evidence to support his argument. I do see some narrative twisting to make it work, but that’s my opinion.Quote:

From what I’ve read I think that the jury got it right. I am curious to why there is such a defence on here from some for this conviction. The jury was tasked with a job, which they performed. Just because you are unhappy with the verdict does not in anyway mean the jurors are wrong. The situation is polarized and many have an opinion, but to question this as a kangaroo court would imply the jurors got it wrong and the system is corrupt. If this is the case then what about all the other cases and verdicts that went the other way? Are they too corrupt and wrong? Perhaps the system is muddy and in need of clarity? Maybe there are too many bad apple officers that need to be laid off? There does appear to be an undeniable pattern doesn’t there?
I agree any lynching is tragic, I am saying the last one occurred in the USA in 1981 as there was documentary on it on the weekend, the mother of the victim sued the Klan for 10 million and got 7 million.Quote:

Your own links are indicating they were suicides, the rest seems to be conjecture.Quote:
