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.

Homicide wasn’t already illegal and a crime, and we have to MAKE IT illegal just now?

“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.”

Historically, about 30% of lynching victims were white.

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

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

Some blacks also lynched black criminals, just like whites lynched white criminals.

Because a murder charge is not enough?
