Well folks, cancel the lynching you had planned.
Biden signed legislation making lynching a federal hate crime.
Not that murdering someone without a trial isn’t already illegal.
The quote below shows where the name of the bill comes from.

“The bill was named after Till, a 14-year-old Black teenager from Chicago who was abducted, tortured and shot in the head in 1955 after he allegedly whistled at a white woman in a Mississippi store.“

“ Tuskegee University, which tracks the history of lynchings, estimates more than 4,700 people were lynched from 1882 to 1968, the majority of them Black Americans. Lynchings were particularly common in the racially segregated South. Till was one of them. Members of Till's family stood alongside Mr. Biden on Tuesday. ”

1968… I wonder why they stopped counting over 50 years ago?
This seems to be a day late and a dollar short.

Is it okay to fake lynch yourself on the way home from Subway?

This news is almost as old as our "president".

Funny how now, the government is focusing on things like 70 year old proposals to make laws banning things that are ALREADY AGAINST THE LAW, and century past due DST changes... instead of spending a moment reflecting on the colossal cluster# they've made in the last few years.

Maybe they think this will help them prevent being lynched when the time comes?

Whats this called, the "Juicy" bill?

A bunch of noise being made is all. Lynching is already illegal, did this make it more illegal?

Murder or attempted murder is already law.

Now, hate crimes are law. So the impetous for the above infractions can come into play.

So going forward the nature of implementation in conjunction with the above are also considered.

I motion for this to be duly named "Super-Duper Murder."

With a sentencing guidelines ranging from 5-30 billion consecutive life sentences!!!

That reminds me of the south park episode where cartman hit token with a rock.

Cartman said, I didn’t hit him because he’s black, I hit him because he’s a dick

Congress has plenty of time for issues from the past, but not enough time to work on any of today's problem?

So is Jussie Smollett going to be grandfathered in on this Bill or .. ?

I know his was a " Self Lynching " but still I'm sure we could work something out for him.

Ok, without reading the OP.


It's Always been a crime to Lyn... Murder somebody.

So now now prisoners won't be put to death by hanging in a federal prison.


Are Slip knots illegal now?
Google still has the tutorials.



How about a game of Hang Man.
