Ummm a black man found hanging from a tree. There are two possibilities that come to mind, and yes, one of them is a lynching. Hopefully that is not the case.
Prayers for the man’s family.
that the Sheriff...had to Bring Up the Lynching Boogieman... in the manner that he did is ever so telling
Not every murder is a lynching. In fact, depending on your definition, it’s been 50 to 60 years since the last true lynching.
