Hmmmm... was Charles Bronson's death wish character in the 1970's committing a crime or not?

Because nothing else of importance needed their attention, Congress was finally able to pass the anti-lynching act we have all been clamoring for and desperately in need of. At long last, the act has finally been sent to President Biden’s desk, and once he signs it, everything will finally be fixed!
I bet you thought the biggest issue right now was the sky-high inflation that’s been impoverishing you, or maybe the stratospheric cost of filling your tank or heating your home. Maybe you were concerned about the millions of illegal aliens who are walking across our border and being given phones, benefits, and transportation around the country on your dime. It might be the destruction of women’s spaces and children’s lives in the name of “transgender rights” that keeps you up at night. Or the fact that there’s a full-blown war in central Europe, which could expand at any moment to suck in more nations, and maybe even end up with nukes in the air — you might think that’s a very serious situation that your representatives should be focusing on right now. Well, you’re wrong!
“After more than 200 failed attempts to outlaw lynching, Congress is finally succeeding in taking the long overdue action by passing the Emmett Till Antilynching Act,” crowed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Hallelujah. It’s long overdue.”
Schumer emphasized the urgency behind the bill’s passage by calling the fact that it took a long time to pass it a “bitter stain on America” and saying he expects President Biden will sign it into law “quickly.” (I’m sure President Biden will use the occasion to remind us all about the evils of “white supremacy.”)
Once signed into law, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act makes it illegal to murder people specifically by lynching them,

so lynching was Legal ?
So, if you murder someone with a knife or a gun, you get a lesser punishment than if you lynched the person? Is this the effect or intent of this bill?

I can’t understand why the silly, perverted bastards just didn’t make homicide illegal. This is the stupid bill those child molesters on the Hill have ever passed.
No - the bill’s name is a lie.
This is a gigantic thought crime law that enshrines pre-crime into law.
If you say or post something “hateful” and you’re liable for any crimes committed on the people you “hate” (excluding Christians, white men and anybody with a D after their name)
Can we still lynch politicians? So long as they’re white?
No, it is pandering, wanting people to believe there are black people hanging from trees all over the country. Just Democrats being Democrats.
“Lynchings were violent public acts that white people used to terrorize and control Black people in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the South,” explains the NAACP on their website. But even though the last lynching occurred over half a century ago, and there are currently shortages, inflation, and an actual war going on, Congress rightfully spent time addressing and solving this massively important problem.
Lynching - as I understand it - means taking the law into one’s hands, circumventing the legal system, and killing someone you believe to be guilty of a crime. I was under the impression that’s already illegal.

RE: I can’t understand why the silly, perverted bastards just didn’t make homicide illegal.
Homicide wasn’t already illegal and a crime, and we have to MAKE IT illegal just now?
Like the Smolett antifa and co was not a lynching the free white operation by southern racist democrats?
Oh, my bad, only the government FBi can organize lynching operations against Trump voters
Here’s a bill from which Congress will definitely not exempt themselves. . .in fact, a stipulation that it does not apply to Congress would get me onboard!!
Indeed. The blacks were whipped back to plantation, the whites were lynched for freeing slaves… sounds so democrat familiar
Damn it! And I had big plans for today too.
Some blacks also lynched black criminals, just like whites lynched white criminals.
Because a murder charge is not enough?
