    I can’t stop thinking about the uptick in lynchings in the South.

      in various forms, many murders of AA are likely gone undereported, or very little convictions, probably also doesnt hit the news at all, to not disturb the narrative of the south. we also know msms in general dont allow POC crimes to air more than few days to weeks at the most.

        Remember how most of the black male BLM leaders involved with the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis died in macabre and unexplained ways within a year or so after?

          Thanks to modern surveillance that they built they were easier to identify. That is the whole point behind all that surveillance. For all we know the number of serial killers didn’t drop since the 90s but have chugged along as normal, but they no longer care since it is a passé topic and their surveillance ignores it.

        I think it’s like that Zimmerman case. It hits the news every now and then, but it’s really a strange fluke when it does.

      This is why people like Matt Walsh’s videos defending lynching are not free speech. They are calls to action to murder absolutely anyone they do not like to terrorize the rest. If someone like Matt took a bullet to the head like Charlie Kirk, whoever did it should be able to plead self-defense. Even if they broke into his house and shot him while he was sleeping.

      Basically he is calling for people to do far worse than that and prison is a mercy for him.
