Shouldn’t what kind of rope they were lynched with?
Maybe have five or ten anti-lynching laws depending on what kind of rope they used.
So desperate for someone to care about them in 2020 that it’s sad.

it's essentially all they've got
This woman’s mother couldn’t spell “Camilla” for the birth certificate? What is it with these “phonetic” spellings, anyway.
What an absolutely imbecilic waste of time and effort.
How many bonafide “lynching’s” are there in this country in a year??? Are there not laws that already address the act of murder in the 1st degree and then tack on the aggravated stipulation of an automatic hate crime.
Nothing more than virtue posturing to gain press coverage.
A slight edit that would make this poorly contrived legislation possibly relevant.
How about the innocent victims of those lynched?
Absolutely no effort has been made to remember them.
“Lynching is not a relic of a painful past—it is a present and pernicious evil that we still have yet to confront,” said Booker.”
Isn’t there anyone in public life with the stones to call this lying chunk of dog crap a lying chunk of dog crap?
Murder isn't already a crime?
What Kamala Harris did was to amend the language of the bill to extend the protected classes already listed to include GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, the first time that transgenders are listed in federal law as a protected class. Below is the actual wording from the law.
(1) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN.
—If 2 or more persons willfully cause bodily injury to any other person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any person—
(2) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY.—
“(A) IN GENERAL.—If 2 or more persons, in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully cause bodily injury to any other person because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person—
What? Lynching is legal?
They’re saying it’s ok these days to hang someone but they want to, in the future, make it illegal?
I hope someone on our side has read the fine print to determine what’s actually in the law. Are permits/license required to own/purchase rope now? How many feet of one length of rope are we now able to have in our possession? More than ten I hope. Are background checks now required? What’s the proper way to dispose of rope to prevent it from falling into the hands of lynchers? Shouldn’t an “R” be added to ATF (i.e. ATFR). Like making jokes about security at the airport, will we be penalized for making jokes about lynching someone? Sure would be nice to know what’s in this bill, so important and revelalent to the times we’re living in. I’m so thankful our representatives in their infinite wisdom, put other bills aside and rushed this vital and historic legislation through in such a timely manner!
I’m pretty sure lynching was already illegal. Kinda like how murder is already illegal.
Isn’t it interesting how Harris and bookers pushes an anti lynching bill and her good friend Smollett winds up claiming someone tried to lynch him. Then he leaves the noose around his neck for almost an house
They can test out the law on Loretta Lynch.
What has it been 60+ years since lynchings occurred!!! GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!
Pandering legislation
What about pretend lynchings? It’s ironic that the very Senator who got Jussie Smollett off the hook for faking a lynching is now pushing anti-lynching legislation. Oh, and this is probably a trap for Trump.
