It’s pretty simple to understand that most towns in America at one point handled a lot differently than they do today. I think you’re against American history. Unfortunately these towns weren’t rich enough to live in the land you would like.. I understand American disappoints you maybe you should move outIf that is true then that’s criminal behavior I do not condone criminal behavior I stated what I believe in. We are talking about how towns used to conduct punishment. Now you’re claiming him for unjustified punishmentThere’s two sides to every story just like the story about Nazis are untrueI have brought these specific cases up in our previous discussions.
Emmett Till was a 14 year old boy who was accused of whistling at a white woman (and flirting with her). A few nights later Till was abducted from where he was staying, beaten and mutilated before being shot in the head. His body was then sunk in the Tallahatchie River. This was in 1955 in the Mississippi Delta. The claim that they could not have found a judge is laughable.
You defended that.
Mary Turner was the wife of a black man who was lynched. She was also 8 months pregnant. She denounced the hanging and called out the ignorant rednecks who had done it. She threatened legal action against them. She fled after she was threatened, but the mob caught her. They hung her upside down and doused her with gasoline and lit her on fire. She was still alive when one of the mob cut her belly open and stomped on the fetus.
You defended that.
Michael Donald had committed no crime. Another black man was accused of killing a white policeman. His first trial was declared a mistrial because the jury could not come to a decision. There would be 2 more trials, with the last one seeing the man convicted. But the local kkk was angry about the mistrial. Two klansmen (cowardsmen) drove around that night with a gun and a rope, looking for a black man to attack. They found Michael Donald. They chased him, beat him, and strangled him with a rope. They then showed off the body at a party at the house of a klan elder, before hanging his body from a tree. This was in 1981.
You defended that.
Your "there was no judge" excuses do not apply to any of the above cases.
Bullshit. The people discussed above were murdered. There are not two sides. There is the truth and there is bullshit.
The woman who accused Emmett Till of harassing her later recanted and admitted she made it up.
The other two lynchings were well publicized and investigated. The mother of Michael Donald ended up owning the kkk's property.
These are true stories of despicable behavior, murder and the denial of 6th amendment rights. And you claim there are two sides to every story? LMAO!! That is so weak. Stand up for everyone's constitutional rights or quit whining about yours.
No, WE are not discussing any such thing. You have tried to shift to that. Originally you tried the "we the people" crap, despite having no evidence that "we the people" wanted any such thing as a majority. And despite me showing you over and over that constitutional rights cannot be overridden by a simple majority.
You defended each of the case I listed.
Its pretty simple to understand that you approve of lynching.
It is also pretty simple to see that you are all for YOUR constitutional rights, but for other's rights it is not so important.
Also, many times in the Old West, prisoners were held until the Circuit Judge came through. Then the trial was held.
BTW, all three of the cases I listed above happened in the 20th century, with two of them since 1950. And when you were first confronted with them, you defended the lynching.
As a matter of fact, when I first brought up the case of Michael Donald, your reply was "he shouldn't have raped a white woman".
