President Biden signed an anti-lynching bill into law named after Emmett Till, a 14-year-old who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. The bill makes lynching a crime punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

So before this it was legal?
Hmmm well you can see by the comments that this party is again totally TONE DEAF to the American people. So, I had to look this up and OK this happened in 1955. And now it's a hate crime. Good, that ought to do it! Democrats good luck on that fast kick out of Dodge!
Lynching has always been illegal…and fortunately extremely rare. The left are the party of the triple K…that was known for lynching….so the Pres should check the mirror. He was a fried of Robt K Byrd dem…and former member of the 3 k's….
DONT THEY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO, LIKE FIX INFLATION, GAS PRICES, AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS?
Basically re difines the word lynching to hate crimes that lead to bodily injury or death. Think about it…Who's community is this gonna effect the most? The most "lynching" you'll see is in New York, Chicago, St Louis, etc…
Law says treason =lynching
Scared?
Just more propaganda to push the non existent white supremacy narrative
Peoples, Show Love, Peace, And Kindness. And help each others. Amen. Love always conquers Hate.💕💗
Thank You, Mr. President, Joe Biden. God be the glory. Amen.🙏🙌
Wake up black America! What have they really done since Biden was in office. Nothing! Lynching? Really?
Doesn’t lynching usually happen to tyrants in this age? Makes you think
They should have been done that, what about right now!!!! I would rather have reparations…. White people are going to hate black people regardless…. All America has to do is make it right for black people they can keep that bill and stick it.
Hey they would stop school so little white kids can see a black man get hung…… We should talk about it.
Jussie wants to know if this law includes FAKING A LYNCHING?????
Had no idea lynching was legal SMH!!!
We all know why he signed that act😂😂😂 laptop details coming out publicly soon
America hasn't had a documented lynching since 1946. Given world events this seems very low on the priority list. Just another example of how incompetent this administration truely is.
All you have to do is watch the news everyday to see who is causing all the problems no shortage of stories but the media always portrays them as victims who need protecting.
So reward lynching criminals with Federal time opposed to state prison hardtime??? Think about it….
So what.
