Read through most of the article until it began to show its true colors. It fails especially to note that everyone involved in the events was a Democrat (or in the case of the Sicilian victims, of no American party, possibly Anarchist, or a generation from becoming Democrats), Caucasian, and Catholic (Irish, Cajun, and Italian).

Yet it moves to a comparison between recent Republican and Democrat attitudes toward Muslim immigration, as if the former have any history of small or large scale lynching's. No, that lamentable custom was practiced exclusively by followers of the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson, and the mentioned Jefferson Davis. If Republicans had been inclined to lynch anyone, Old Jeff would have been first at the steps of the gallows.

Also, while there was a longtime criminal element within the Sicilian community it largely fed on, terrified (I've actually heard an older Italian say "Shhhh! Black-a Hand!" when the Mafia was mentioned) and oppressed it's own neighbors and neighborhoods. They didn't drive cars onto crowded sidewalks, fly loaded passenger jets into buildings, or cheer and throw candy out to celebrate mass atrocities. Yet, except for the occasional moron misidentifying a turban wearing Sikh as a Muslim, no one's been harmed much less lynched. Typical Leftist projection.
