And one more point...
these “flash mobs” of violent blacks are no different than the “lynch mobs” of yesterday.
And that’s what we ought to call them, wireless lynch mobs carried out by the black version of the KKK.
“these “flash mobs” of violent blacks are no different than the “lynch mobs” of yesterday.”
You’re exactly right, and South Carolina is charging these mobs under its anti-lynching law. Six “youths” were charged under the anti-lynching law in Columbia, South Carolina, and are each facing 20 years in prison for mob behavior. If the person they beat up had died, they’d be facing the death penalty.
Because of this law, SC has very little in the way of flash mobs.
“these “flash mobs” of violent blacks are no different than the “lynch mobs” of yesterday.”
No, they are not.
A “lynch mob” of yesteryear — and I’m referring specifically towards those in the South — we groups of organized, indeed “regular” citizens who banded together to extract quick justice against someone (usually black) who had egregiously and totally violated the laws and mores of society. Once their “pound of flesh” had been taken, they were no more.
A flash mob is diametrically opposed in what it does. The mob is intent on “taking” from random victims (almost always white) for no reason other than they are white and that they are there to be taken from. Like piranas, they will attempt to devour anything (anyone) who falls within their reach.
In times past, a lynch mob would have been a logical response to behavior such as the beating/murder of a victim of a flash mob.
But to equate the former with the latter is, well, nonsense.
I’ll say something which you will find even more contentious. In the old South, I would reckon that many, if not most, of the “lynch mob victims” were indeed guilty of the transgressions for which they were being sought. And something even more. In those times, even the most feral of scoundrels understood that vile behavior in the extreme, could result in quick (if non-judicial) punishment, also in the extreme. For what it’s worth, the threat of the noose coerced most criminals into “not going over a certain line”. For if they did, they knew what might come next.
There was a time when gross behavior engendered quick, and often gross, punishment.
It is because we have so completely removed the threat of punishment that we are seeing the behavior we see today.
Just sayin’...
