I see clearly the fact that activists brooding over pasts issues like this is pathetic. Today's *civil rights leaders* are to being useless and irritating people like MJ and Magij Johnson were to basketball and muhammed ali was to boxing.

So that aside, in what ways do you think the "lynching" reenactments were innacurate, given that they serve not the slightest practical purpose? Do you think they were exaggerated? Omitted key historical facts? Or simply that they need to shut their f**king mouths and get over their baggage?

First and foremost, I don't think the images should have been shown on local news. I watch for "news", not reenactments. Secondly, I do think they were exaggerated. Finally, I think that while many folks were legitimately concerned with the case in question (and if there's a way to find the killers and bring them to justice, then I'm for any realistic option to do so), that Tyrone Brooks and Jesse Jackson were both there for their own self-flagellation, and not out of some sense of justice.
