This PC culture is going too far, first they stopped us playfully assaulting women and now we can't even jokingly murder black people, where will it end?
What took them so long
In 2005, the Senate passed a resolution apologizing for its failureto pass anti-lynching legislation in the past.
You'll think after this they would had done it earlier, but it took 13 years?
neither the house nor Trump have supported this nor will it likely get a vote this year.
ergo Lynching is not yet a federal crime.
Senate GOP is trying to make the impending consequences of their actions a hate crime lmoa
Yeah fucked that up, meant to put "set up as a federal crime" to show its in the making.
I remember reading about this one town in Texas where it's all white supremacists and nazis, and if you're non-white you should never stop there for gas or else they'll literally lynch you if they see you.
Mitch McConnell belongs on the end of a noose for sure, it'd be pretty ironic if he shot this down.
DPS (State Troopers) would crack down on that so hard if it was in Texas.
Are you talking about Leith?
Leith, North Dakota

The fucker tried to pull the same shit with my Hometown in Nebraska.
I believe they tried making it a federal crime in the late 1800s but the Supreme Court struck it down as federal overreach.
I mean, murder is already a crime...
The google definition being -
Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a group.
I'd imagine it comes with harsher sentencing for ALL involved, regardless of whether you touched the victim or not. Accomplices to murder generally get lighter sentences.
ya that's some of why this hasn't been strictly that urgent
this place doesn't exist
Not in texas no but there are places in every country like that.
Does this classify all lynchings as hate crimes, or just those that would be classed as hate crimes if committed by a single person? Or is it just making sentencing for lynching comparable to that of hate crimes?
There have been a great number of attempts to make lynching a federal crime, often with presidental backing, but fillibusters had a tendency to win the day.
Well 'least i can still do some good ol' tarring and feathering.
places essentially ran by white supremacists? yeah they exist. places where a black person can't even stop for gas without fear of being lynched? haven't existed for decades. they might not be welcome there but they aren't going to be immediately murked for stepping foot in the place.
fascists
