I attempted to speak with the SHO of the Rasulpur, Chhapra police station as well as the Chhapra SP, but neither responded. Today, the SP hung my call up twice, the third day after I called, stating that he was busy.

Despite #historicalrevisionism (that's a polite way of saying lies), #public #symbolic #lynching holds a distinct and honored role in establishing the conditions necessary to the independence of these former British colonies.
Colonists enraged by repeated abuses conducting #lynches in #effigy of #Crown officials, often accompanied by "funerals for Liberty" in which, having been carried in a coffin to a prominent town location, seemingly deceased, Lady Liberty would rouse from her nightshade slumber.
While #lynching as a tool of #racist #murder and #oppression should be studied and understood by all that love liberty, the #noose deployed by those that invented the USA was a #libertysign, not a #murderweapon.

1/ A conservative friend of mine argued at various times and in different contexts (including racial preferences or affirmative action), that slavery ended in 1865, he had nothing to do with it, so why don't African-Americans "just get over it." #RaceMatters
2/ Yes, slavery ended in 1865 and while it contributed greatly to the wealth of white America, African-Americans were given nothing in return as the government reneged on its promise of 40 acres and a mule after the end of the Civil War. #RaceMatters pbs.org/wnet/african-a…
3/ Compare this to the Homestead Act of 1866 which transferred an area of land in the west the size of CA and TX (10% of all US land) to whites who need only improve it for 5 years and file a deed. aeon.co/ideas/land-and… #RaceMatters

@KennethLeeAlle1 Florida used the appearance of a trial to send Joe to prison to die. His later-disbarred lawyer didn't present a defense. That's why the trial lasted less than 1 business day start to finish. Police threw away the evidence. Another lawyer gave up Joe's right to appeal.
@KennethLeeAlle1 Jurors never knew the older teen who testified that Joe had "confessed" was the initial suspect & had a record. They didn't know Joe has a 62 IQ, no record & no family to protect his rights. Defense atty never questioned fact that police failed to present DNA they collected.
@KennethLeeAlle1 Joe was saved by FL prisoners who contacted EJI in his behalf. But because a public defender waived Joe's right to appeal & because police destroyed the evidence, Bryan's only hope of relief was to have Joe's punishment deemed a 4th amendment violation. slate.com/news-and-polit…
The death of #AhmaudAubrey meets the @NAACP definition of a #lynching. This is confirmed from the DA letter here. All four criteria are met.
(1) Someone was killed. (2) The killing was illegal (not a state execution after conviction of a crime) (3) Three or more people involved and (4) Assailants claimed to be upholding justice and/or tradition. This letter confirms all those facts.
What makes this even more heinous is that like most lynchings, law enforcement sees no problem with it. Black Lynching has always had police support. No surprise that it’s 2020 and we are still lynching black men in broad daylight without fear of arrest after doing so.

"Rhetoric of the kind that the President deployed on Twitter undercuts an honest reckoning with America's past by muddying the meaning of terms that help us name and navigate a bloody legacy of racial violence."

Historians such as Jason Morgan Ward have done the public an immense service by researching the gut-churning and infuriating history of lynching.

TW for what I am about to write about #lynching.
Last year I wrote about women who were lynched. This was more common than most people, even historians, were aware. Often the wives of lynched men were also lynched. #MaryTurner was one of these. She was also eight months pregnant.

[TW] #MaryTurner was hog-tied and hung upside down by her ankles. Her clothes were drenched in gasoline and set on fire. Her abdomen was sliced open like an animal's at slaughter and her baby pulled from her body. She. Was. Still. Alive. (Though not for long.)
[TW] It was recorded at the time that the baby "gave two feeble cries" before it too was killed.
THAT IS LYNCHING.
The president is being held to the mandates of the US Constitution that he has violated. Not lynched.The sooner he is out of office, the sooner the country can heal.
