PeterCat posted:How was I misusing the term? Because the mob didn't come with a rope? https://withoutsanctuary.org These are lynchings. Vigilantes are bad. Vigilante mobs are worse. Racist vigilante mobs are worse yet. But lynch mobs/ lynchings are worse yet by an order of magnitude. It's OK if something is 'merely' terrible. It doesn't have to be tarted up to be the worst thing ever. I hope lynchings don't come back like there were from reconstruction to the 20s, but if they do, what words will you use to describe them? You've will have already devalued the real words by attaching them to things that aren't lynchings as a lazy way to express your (righteous) anger that such inexcusable behavior engenders. Keep the strong words for the things that need them most. joat mon fucked around with this message at 15:31 on May 12, 2020 |

Lynch mobs don't care of you tell them no. Lynch mobs don't care if their target is in jail. Lynch mobs take black people by whatever force is needed, take their victims away, humiliate them, murder them, and leave their mutilated bodies as further warning to others.

So an armed mob of white men that came to do violence on a minority for crimes real or imagined can't be called a "lynch mob" because they didn't succeed for whatever reason? Like, I'm as pedantic as the next guy but this seems like a hella bad take my man.

Well excuse the gently caress outta me. These concerned citizens, exercising their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, made an error while attempting to save a 16 year old from the clutches of a black man. I retract any aspersions I may have cast upon these patriots and will do my best in the future to accurately name racially motivated armed mobs.

It’s the same county that had an actual coup in 1898, with black people getting murdered by the dozens (and maybe hundreds). quote:The coup occurred after the state's white Southern Democrats conspired and led a mob of 2,000 white men to overthrow the legitimately-elected local Fusionist government. They expelled opposition black and white political leaders from the city, destroyed the property and businesses of black citizens built up since the Civil War, including the only black newspaper in the city, and killed an estimated 60 to more than 300 people.[15][16][17][18] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_insurrection_of_1898

The only reason he wasn't killed is that they're pushing the boundary so see what exactly they can get away with. We're a governor/presidential pardon followed by a trump tweet encouraging citizens arrest of 'thugs' and illegal immigrants away from this type of poo poo really escalating, but no one wants to be the first to go all the way and find out.

The mob failed at lynching though so it can’t be a lynch mob. At best it’s an attempted lynch mob. Do they give out Nobel prizes in attempted chemistry? It’s about ethics in mob journalism.

Pffft lynch mobs these days. Back in the good ol days If we had a wrong address we’d just have a two-fer-one. These loving disgusting people need to be smashed hard by the rule of law so they stop these “I’m not touching you” actions. The minute they think they will get away with it their bravery will spark up and a strong black mama won’t be enough to push them back.

joat mon posted:https://withoutsanctuary.org maybe, since in the last 100 years society has moved from describing lynchings as commonplace to a reviled, heinous act, we should recognize there is a lower baseline of unacceptable conduct now? like armed mobs with not-subtle LEO endorsement hunting down black people? to me, that sure seems like the absolute worst thing happening nowadays. yes, lynching is horrific, but (thank loving god) it doesn't happen on the scale it did. a single lynching today would be national news; a 100 years ago, it was a nightly occurrence all over america. we should be condemning and prosecuting this poo poo in the strongest terms, because the reasoning "oh it's not lynching, that was even worse" ignores the progress already made. there was a huge effort to stop racist fucks from lynching blacks all the loving time, and really the pressure needs to keep going up. racist armed vigilante mobs aren't lynching, but it sure as gently caress is the gateway drug to that poo poo coming back, so it needs to be absolutely crushed.
