Missouri state rep wants to revive hanging from a tall tree

Missouri state rep says person who vandalized Confederate statue should be 'hung from a tall tree'

Shades of the KKK.  
This man is either totally tone deaf or a raging racist. To have EITHER in public office is truly a disgrace.

Vandalism punishable by summary execution?

No, that wouldn't be cruel and unusual punishment, now would it?

I am continually shocked by how many people who say they love America hate our values.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Here's another racist, violent lunatic:

White lawmaker warns black attorney she may ‘go missing’ if Confederate statues are threatened



LaDawn Jones is a black Democrat from Atlanta. For four years, her seatmate in the Georgia House of
Representatives was Jason Spencer, a white Republican from the southern tip of the state. They see the world differently and, she concedes, there were many conversations where “we’ve had to walk away from each other because the debate was so intense.”
,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,
It involved two of the most emotionally volatile issues in the American South: Confederate monuments and lynching.
,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,
The discussion started when Spencer posted a picture of himself next to a memorial of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Jones, who has advocated for removing Confederate memorials from the state’s most vaunted places, posted a comment warning her former colleague that he should “get it in … before it is torn down.”


It soured from there.
,,,,,,,
.,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The lowest point was when Spencer told her that if she and others kept up their fight to rid the state of Confederate monuments, “I cant guarantee you won’t be met with torches but something a lot more definitive.”

Later, removing any doubt, he said the people who want the statues gone “will go missing in the Okefenokee,” referring to a swamp and national wildlife refuge near his home town. “To many necks they are red around here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Re: Missouri state rep wants to revive hanging from a tall tree

“I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope,” wrote Rep. Warren Love, an Osceola Republican.
,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Love had previously called Abraham Lincoln “the greatest tyrant and despot in American history,” The Pitch reported.
,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
As an explanation for the post, he said, “I’m a western man. I’ve worn boots and hats all my life. ... I’m apt to say anything in an analogy.”


Sigh. We seem to be in an age of plain spoken men. Guys who proudly tell you that they aren't "politically correct". They say what they mean and mean what they say,,,,,,,,, Then they explain to you how they didn't really mean what they said. 

Here's the deal: As I recall, they speak English Out West.
Words mean things. They are how we communicate our thoughts to others.


If he thinks that vandals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, he should say so. Say that and everyone will know precisely what you mean.

But, say that you want vandals lynched, and I am left with two choices. I can believe that you are a darn fool who controls neither his temper or his mouth. Or that you really want to lynch people. That is after all, what you wrote.
