I do not think that comparing rioting to lynchings is a fair comparison.
Lynchings seemed to be a groups reaction to illegal activity such as rustling, theft, insults, and outright racism.
This rioting seems to be all about civil disobedience.
It is my opinion that the rioters are not being dealt with appropriately in some areas due to weak/complicit/fearful leadership.
If you are from Mississippi you would often have lynching thrown in your face as racial, not about cattle rustling.
Lynching was and is wrong, but what is going on now is worse.
