It was been used by angry mobs all around the world for hundreds of years.

It was invented just after the rope.

Hate is what kills, the method is irrelevant.

Default Lynchings and Decor

Ya'll are being way too serious. This is not about hate crimes, private property, or other serious things like that. It's all about taste and turning out the perfect holiday scene:

It's perfectly fine to hang white women by the neck for festive holiday decorations.

Obviously, a hanging black men would clash with the decor.

This is wrong!!!!


All should have been arrested for death threats towards a public person!

Is hanging an effigy actually a death threat...or just an expression of free speech???
