What I see going on in America today is no different, IMO, than vigilante lynching in the past.

In the past, someone might break the law and people wrongly take the law into their own hands and get a rope.

Today, people see what they perceive as police breaking the law and Then they riot, loot, commit arson, murder, and terrorize people that had nothing to do with the perceived crime.

Explain to me how this is not as bad as lynch mobs of the past

The difference is that lynching of the past the perpetrator was removed from society because of their dastardly deed, and now the mobs are attacking random people who were neither perpetrators nor involved in the situation.

It ain't a lynching.


If you want to compare what's happening today to historical events, start here:

Shooting for dumbest fk'n post on the 'fire?

It'd be a fierce competition with several participants.

What’s dumb about this post? I was stating that these BLM and antifa folks are terrorists.

My premise is that, At best, it is the same as lynching, but imo it is WORSE than lynching a perpetrator because they are not terrorizing the perpetrator, but people that had nothing to do with it.

Maybe I didn’t make that clear enough.

Is d Everyone on here gun shy from the liberal pieces of crap that sometimes post on here. ?

For future reference, if you ever think I am posting some liberal crap, assume a misunderstanding is going on.

Either mine or yours.

I didn't think you were posting as a liberal.

I just think there's some confusion about what exactly is going on.

Our country has two things going on now.

1) A rebellion towards socialism and globalism.

2) An active and ongoing coup to unseat a duly elected president that opposes said rebellion.

It ain't about race, or cops, or social justice.

It's about control and power. (Both of which the radical Left wants to hold over you and I.)


The sooner everyone wakes up and smells the coffee, the better.

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.

I agree with your point, but was actually addressing the hypocrisy of black people that always bring up lynching when it hasn’t happened in Mississippi since the 50s.

Then they think the terrorism that BLM and antifa sponsor is not the same (or worse).

In other words “lynching black peoples (or anyone) was bad but their terrorism is justified.”

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.

It is easy for anyone who wants to get the spirit of your post to get it.

Thank you. I was surprised that my point was misunderstood.

Lynching served a purpose. And one can seriously debate the value of vigilante justice in a society where the justice system favors the criminal over the victim


Blm rioters may not be terrorists, but they are morons

There are terrorists scattered in with the morons.

Blacks and to some degree women have been political tools for a long time, you're correct its all about power/wealth, the folks driving us toward socialism couldn't care less about individuals no matter color. Just some folks are more easily molded and swayed to big government, either for want of free chit or "security". Females fall for the touchy feeler we will keep you safe big brother line. I hope the left has overreached with DT and it bites them in the arse.

It wasn't. They knew full well what you meant. But, it's an internet forum.

Not really.

But you are right. It's the internet, and there's no shortage of misconception, misinformation, and downright propaganda. Nor is there a shortage of outlets and people trying to tell us what to think.

Was there a history of lynch mobs missing their target "singular" and then proceeding to murder business owners, sheriffs and deputies, burn down entire towns, steal the contents of buildings and homes, killing horses, stealing cattle?

what i see in my jaundiced view is that we've got a sitting president opposing the changes that another wanna be wants to bring to the table (biden).

while i probably much prefer the status quo (trump) for me and my kind all we can look forward to is a good job with taxes to be paid.

that is, both sides will tax the hell out of the workers, with the demo-socialists willing to tax more than the repubs.

as far as the terrorists, antifa, blm, many mayors, etc. they're just agents of the supporters of biden.

Splain to me how you are paying more taxes with Trump as Prez???

Solve the problem quickly and decisively- - - - -lynch the rioters!

AMEN!!!

did i say the repubs or the demo-sociallists taxes more?

do i still pay taxes? why of course i do. do you?

my point is we have to choose the lesser of the Two evils.

be more fun to sit off 5-6hundred and pop them.

Lynch mobs were not destructive of property and were generally only aimed at wrongdoers.

Subsonic 350 grain hard cast from a .45-70 with a suppressor from that range would be coming down in a rainbow trajectory like lead rain. That would definitely take the fun out of rioting, looting, and burning stuff! If it was good enough for bison on the prairie, there's no reason it wouldn't work on PANTIFA pukes!

Vigilantes is a better word. The usual problem with vigilantism is the " .mistakes"

How many "mistakes" are out after curfew with Molotov cocktails?

I understand the point you were trying to make, but do not necessarily agree.

Nope, not a lynching.

Mob violence, sedition, etc. is not lynching.

Leo Frank: a fine lynching.

Portland antifa burning the the business district: not a lynching.

Very different things.

Regardless of what you call it it is always about moving the needle on the scale.

Their goal...

"Black people didn't do nothing... whitey picking on me."

"Whitey picking on Muslims we want Sharia law."

Once we as a society accept those as a true statement...

All of society is lost.

2+2=5 stuff.

In most Democrat held cities... those statements are already written into the law... never to be undone... until the entire house of cards collapses.

BLM is the alter image of the KKK.

^^^This^^^

To the OP I think your mixing analogies and concepts. I’d agree with all of the above. This is about a communist/globalist revolution and a presidential coup. It really has nothing to do with lynchings and moreover lynchings usually involved a guilty party in these circumstances not so much but that’s really a minor side point to the bigger points outlined above.

don't know this one's right up there

When I was a Baby. about 5 I think, there was a White girl in a large town near where I lived said a Black man touched her she told her father and he got a mob together and they Lynched the Black man near the spot it took place... I don't know if it was true or not, but people talked about it all the time I was growing up...

Think a certain subgroup used to behave when an occasional lynching would happen.
