Vauhxx Booker: black activist details 'attempted lynching' by group of white men in Indiana –...
Vauhxx Booker said he 'would have been a hashtag' had friends not intervened when the group pushed him against a tree, shouted racial slurs at him and allegedly threatened to 'get a noose'
“His Kentucky constituents symbolically lynched him in the same month Demark Vesey was actually hanged in 1822, the Confederate Congress proclaimed black Union soldiers should be enslaved or executed in 1863, and Ida B. Wells resolved to leave Memphis after rampant lynchings in 1892.”
Opinion: Andy Beshear is just fine after 'symbolic' lynching by white supremacists
RICKY L. JONES | OPINION CONTRIBUTOR | 9:43 am EDT May 27, 2020
“Attached to the Beshear dummy was the scrawl, “sic semper tyrannis”
(Translation: thus always to tyrants). With that doff of the cap to John Wilkes Booth, who spoke the same words after assassinating the “race-traitor” Abraham Lincoln in 1865, the protesters once again bared their racist fangs.
This makes sense for a group of “patriots” who often show up to such rallies with protest signs, guns AND Confederate flags as they “fight against tyranny” across the country.”

Opinion: Andy Beshear is just fine after 'symbolic' lynching by white supremacists
The history of darker people being lynched socially, professionally, legally and physically in and beyond Kentucky is long, bloody and ongoing.
I realize some are in favor of hate crime as an additional charge. I can't think of many serious crimes that could be labeled love crimes. Yet love is the root of many murders.
Since lynching is murder it has been a capital crime for at least 100 years. I wonder how many tax dollars were consumed to pass this bill and the other bills trying to ban lynching which is illegal.
What do you think about this my friends?
