The last lynching in America.
Airs tonight on Discovery.Ted Koppel hosts. Just heard on NPR.

They did a discussion and phone calls. A woman called in and told story about her Grandfather who was W11 veteran, told her and her little brother story about kidnapping a young black man, taking him to the countryside, tying him to a tree and shooting him.
Neil Conan and Ted were stunned. The Woman cried and told a few more details about the murder. She was'nt sure if he was bragging,or thought that it was important they know what he did.

2. They don't lynch people any more
They just tie them to the backs of trucks and drag them down the road.

Everytime I think about that I want to cry.

4. Lynching in America has stopped? That would be LBN material.
More brainwashing by Disney/Discovery.
