Couldn’t Sherrod’s use of the term ‘lynch’ be considered a colloquial usage?
I would certainly interpret it that way.
No trial. And beat to death before he was even placed in his cell.
Yes, the story is wonderfully convolute. Hall was lynched. The lynchers were convicted — and eventually freed by a Progressive high mucky-muck in the KKK, abetted by a Progressive white supremacist. With friends like the Progressives, blacks need no enemies.

Today it definitely fits within colloquial usage. Not so in the 1930s, but we are living today and the elections are in three months
Obama and his race agitators are tyring to mobilize the base
No. “Lynching” is the execution of an individual for a real or false crime by a group acting without judicial sanction. Death can be by hanging, shooting, burning, drowning, bludgeoning, dragging, stabbing, cutting, etc. Sherrod’s usage is not colloquial, but Jeffery Lord's is. This may be from watching a lot of Westerns.
