There seems to be a lot more to this stoy than Jake Shields is telling. There were 3 suspects initially, but Leo Frank was convicted. One of the other suspects was the janitor of the business, a black man with obvious developmental issues, who was allegedly seen with the body - as told by an alleged witness decades later.

All of the "witness" testimony is sketchy at best, with the background being the depraved notions of racial purity of the time, as espoused by Populist Party Congressman Tom Watson from Georgia with such gems as this:

"Jew money has debased us, bought us and sold us - and laughs at us. Hereafter, let no man reproach the South with Lynch law; let him remember the unendurable provocation; and let him say whether Lynch law is not better than no law at all."

All of which led to the kidnapping, out of the prison, of Leo Frank, and his lynching by a mob of preachers, a former governor, an ex-mayor, a doctor, a lawyer, etc.

I'd say that the non-gentile non-white citizens of Georgia at the time were living in constant intimidation and fear for life and property. Jewish mafia my ass.

The ADL (among other groups) is nowadays definitely anti-free speech, and a buncha commies, but was not founded without some justification at the time.

Which he published, after Frank's conviction.

Except Mary Phagan was rapped and killed by Jim Conley,who "found the body" and fabricated two death letters on the body. Conley was caught and admitted he wrote the letters. He then blamed Frank, who wasn't in the factory at the time. The KKK and Southern Progressives decided that a Black person wasn't smart enough to do a bad job of hiding his tracks and then framing a White. Instead, they decided that going after a White "Northern" Jewish factory owner was more political useful than going after the African American who literally had blood on his hands. The ADL was founded after Frank was lynched. Frank was lynched because he was innocent and was getting a second trial with exculpatory evidence. The second trial was a political embarrassment for the KKK and their progressive allies.
But by all means, prove the point that antisemitism makes people stupid and post a Tweet by a person, who can't spell the victim's name and who doesn't know the timeline.
