If this happened in 1850 we would be reading about it as another vigilante lynching. They knew how to take care of these killers back in the day, but no one can keep the history straight unless there are endless trials and appeals to “safeguard” these animals.
Maybe, just maybe this poor misguided youth will meet his maker while in prison. Just hoping he will at least get some pretty harsh treatment by his roomies.
“”They knew how to take care of these killers back in the day””
Yessiree. We have a giant Oak that still grows at our Courthouse square called the Hanging Tree.
For sure it had a workout in those days.
There are pictures of 4 cattle rustlers hanging from one limb. They were tried, found guilty and hung. Story goes from arrest to hanging, 3 days.
It also got a heavy work out during the Cart wars hanging Mexican carters that were “stealing” freighter business from the “locals”.
Swift justice that we do not see anymore and should.
We could start inside the beltway with the cheating, lieing stealing politicians. We might get the attention of future “politicians” and get “statesman” in future elections.
