So Jussie has worked with Kamala Harris to push an Anti-Lynchin' law (didn't know it was legal) the past year.

A day after the attack, Harris pushes the Bill for a vote in Congress.

 

Is that an actual law? It seems kind of redundant and obvious. How about an anti murder law?

Or enforcing the murder laws

The purpose of the bill is just to categorize the crime more correctly, I guess...

 

It passed through the Senate unanimously in December

How many people will be shot and maybe killed while the police are wasting their time with this fool?

Good thing The Polar Vortex wobbled south and was around. In February 2014, it was cold in Chicago.  That month had lowest murder rate in Chicago since the 1950s!

 

Go Global Warming/Climate Change! A warming arctic causing a wobbly Polar Vortex is surpressing the murder rate in Chicago.

 

That's why this story is even more dubious sounding... When it gets cold, the murder and assault rate plummets with the temperatures.

Dubious story... You'd think people would have learned from Ryan Locte...

Back when I heard about this when it was proposed I said Holy crap - lynching is legal??

The more I learn about this incident,  the more something doesn't sit right with me. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds. 

 

Seems like it's about time to change your thread title from 'assault' to 'hoax'.

Here is a good explanation:

 

https://www.ajc.com/news/local/georgia-lynch-mobs-devised-flimsy-reasons-for-taking-lives/DPNqpcG72DpJFUV6FLQnlI/

 

"...The perception is that a lynching always involved a certain means of death — whether by hanging or shooting or burning. .

“It’s not the method in which a person is killed, it’s the context in which they are killed,” said Hill, a professor of African and African-American studies at the University of Oklahoma. “That context is when the person is summarily, lethally and brutally punished for an alleged crime and denied due process of law. That cocktail of things is what we call a lynching. It’s less about being hung, shot or dragged to death.” ...

 

 

...In the early 1900s, at the height of lynchings in America, the NAACP tried repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, to persuade Congress to pass anti-lynching legislation..."

You brought out your old torch stick for a minute there, didn't you...

Isn't all of that covered under Hate Crime laws?

 

Even if it's redundant, I guess it's a harmless way to make some folks feel better. Like Obama's equal pay act.

Next up for Kamala - outlawing train robberies!

"Unconfirmed sources suggest that the scratch on Jussie's face was caused by the actor being hit by frozen cubes of Bleach". ?

 

I think, i'm done with reading articles on this story. It's too ridiculous at this point. More an SNL skit (or chapelle show).

The media is still pushing the assault (instead of hoax) narrative, but the reader comments are almost exclusively calling him a liar.

I actually thought both hate crimes and lynching would be covered under murder.

It's murder +.

They give more severe sentences. Like super-sizing.

 

Kill someone = 20yrs

Kill someone while wearing MAGA hat = death penalty.

I'm sure you're interested in updates. Don't let it bother you too much. It's just a story we get to watch unfold from the sidelines.

 

Can't wait for the Netflix true crime series on this.

I didn't even know who this guy was until I googled his name and apparently he was in the Mighty Ducks.  He was Terry Hall.  one third of the famed "Oreo" line from the movie.

Big fan of Terry Hall from his days with The Specials.

Think it was the weather or lack of targets?

When it's really cold, a MAGA hat just isn't going to cut it, so would be attackers just stay inside.
