What is the legal term for hanging someone?

Hanged I assume.

One of the traits of liberals that I have observed, is a lack desire to not be a "face in the crowd" which in turn means that they assume that almost no one else has that ambition. But the fact is that a lot more people than they think have that desire. Most people with those feelings don't act on it because if they don't have the talent to achieve their wish they would usually have to do something illegal. But for some the emotion is unbearable. (I am probably in that category but luckily didn't have to deal with it.)

Of course if I am right it impacts the probabilities of a lot more situations than the one of this thread (including the closely related syndrome of the desire to not be played for a fool by a guy who claims to really care about you but then never calls again after that night.)

Lol America.

The bill is purely symbolic. On the other hand, these kinds of symbolic gestures are meaningful and important imho.

C'mon, man. You of all people should know Lynch is a common Irish surname.

Lol @ ”lol America”

Big props to Trump on the fact when the hate crime is thought to be true it’s example of Trump’s America and when it’s shown to be a hoax it’s example of Trump’s secret police. The man cannot be stopped.

Always up to no good

If you've never been to Cincinnati, I would recommend going just due to its weirdness. The topography is bizarre for a city that most people probably imagine being flat. Some good architecture and plenty of things to do. It's like a mash-up of riverboat town, Hollywood Hills, and the grime you can't scrub off old shower tiles--a post-industrial Charles Wysocki painting. Just about as 'Merica as it gets. The chili is ****ing disgusting.

Well this means you can get life for an attempted lynching. Which means if there were two white guys with maga hats in the wrong place at the wrong time, Smollett could have them both banged up for life.

Apparently couldn’t even pull off a hoax with make believe attackers, so your make believe victims can probably sleep just fine tonight.

LOLOLOLOL

thus proving you've never been told the proper way to eat Skyline. To Cincinnatians, the bottom way is anathema. The top way is right, and you NEVER EVER TWIRL. You cut it with the side of your fork (like a casserole or cake) so the layers of spaghetti, chili (and beans and onions if you want) and cheese stay intact.

Or, just order the coneys.



Cincinnati is cool, and is home to some of the best art deco architecture in the country. Including the Justice League! (Union Terminal)



The shot Lawnmower Man linked shows Music Hall in the foreground, another of Cincy's iconic buildings.

That's a cool building for sure.

Didn't know that, but I've always understood 'lynching' to have originally been a tarring and feathering thing, often preceded by busting the person out of a cell in order to dispense mob justice, so it's not that surprising imo.

The racism and homophobia in the USA must be DEFCON 1 if a gay black man has to hire foreigners to oppress him.

No one's mentioned the baby hippo yet, which is the single best reason to visit Cincinnati.

I didn't even know that hippos went underwater. I know they walked through water but never knew that they propelled themselves through it while submerged.

They spend most of their time underwater afaict.

Hippos are some terrifying ****ers.

Can confirm. Very terrifying.

In America, lynching and tarring and feathering are wholly separate things that seemed to exist along side one another. What definitely gets whitewashed about lynchings in America (above and beyond their existence and extent) is the brutal torture frequently including dismemberment while still alive that often preceded being strung up in a tree. That's something I didn't learn about until fairly recently. When lynchings are presented, they're generally presented as simple hangings, which is barbaric enough, but it also vastly undersells the brutality of the white mobs.

Jasper, Texas comes to mind - truly horrific.

Yeah, having looked into it after posting that, I see that the folk wisdom I'd been sold - that 'lynching' originally meant tarring and feathering - is baloney. I wonder if the idea's at all widespread. I'm nearly sure I've heard it more than once, but it's clearly not true. Live and learn.

What the **** are you blabbing about?
