Lynching Isn't Gone in the South

It’s still around. It’s just better couched as “justice” today and doesn’t usually involve a mob and a rope.  It involves a court and a rope. In the Treyvon Matrin case, the Florida prosecutor is lynching George Zimmerman, who defended himself against an assailant who was big and strong and was beating the hell out of him, promising to kill him. Now the prosecutor is trying to add “hate crime” to the list of charges against him, hoping to make them less weak and insipid. If he is convicted, the lynching will be complete, whatever his sentence is: life in prison or the death penalty. Her case is so weak she NEEDS to apply something to “whip up the crowd” to lynch this man properly.(Daily News)
