I would like to point you guys to the only criminal case the supreme court has ever tried, USA V SHIPP. The following is an account of the night Ed Johnson was lynched (note that Johnson was accused of the rape and brutal beating of a white woman. The Podesta bros, Alefantis et al have committed a most heinous crime against an untold number of children, the account that follows should be a mandatory minimum):


THE LYNCHING OF ED JOHNSON

The news that the Supreme Court had stayed Johnson's scheduled execution did not sit well with many in Chattanooga. About 8 p.m. on March 19 a group of men carrying guns descended on the Hamilton County Jail where Johnson was being held. Only a single guard, jailer Jeremiah Gibson, guarded the prisoners. Sheriff Shipp, rejecting a suggestion to post extra guards, had instead given his other deputies the night off. The first members of the mob to enter the jail bloodied a black trusty they encountered, then began their search of the jail. More and more men poured into the jail. Confronting a large steel door, members of the mob called for a sledgehammer and began whacking it in turns. The door finally gave into the attack and the mob moved on to its next obstacle. About 8:30 p.m., Ed Johnson, on the third floor, was awakened by the cries of inmates below. Johnson looked out the window of his cell to see the crowd of nearly two hundred men and women in the courtyard below. The only other inmate on the floor, Ellen Baker, said to Johnson, "You better do some prayin'."

Soon the mob made their way up the spiral staircase to the third floor and began pounding on the doors that still separated them from Johnson. A second door comprised of steel bars secured by five bolts riveted into the cement floor proved a frustrating obstacle for the rioters. Johnson had plenty of time to pray. Ellen Baker later described Johnson lying on his steel-framed bunk, a green wool blanket pulled up to his chin, eyes closed, reciting the 23rd Psalm. It was not until 10:35 that the last bolt gave way and the men made their way to Johnson's cell. A key taken from Gibson opened the cell door. The men tied Johnson's hands with rope and dragged him from the cell out to an awaiting crowd. Cries of "Kill him now!" and "Cut his heart out right here!" came from the mob. The leaders of the mob debated what they should do.

Finally someone yelled, "To the county bridge!" The call was met by great applause. For six blocks, in raucous procession, the crowd marched to the Walnut Street Bridge that spanned the Tennessee River. At the second span rope was looped around the frame of the bridge. "Do you have anything to say?" a man holding a noose asked Johnson. With the noose around his neck and blood dripping from his mouth, Johnson remained calm.

He spoke to the crowd:

"I am ready to die. But I never done it. I am going to tell the truth. I am not guilty. I have said all the time that I did not do it and it is true. I was not there. I know I am going to die and I have no fear to die and I have no fear at all. I was not at St. Elmo that night. Nobody saw me with a strap. They were mistaken and saw somebody else. I was at the Last Chance Saloon just as I said. I am not guilty and that is all I have to say. God bless you all. I am innocent."

For two minutes, Ed Johnson's body "jerked with life" as it swayed one hundred feet above the Tennessee River, then it stopped. Johnson was pulled back up to thebridge. His head moved. A barrage of bullets ended his life. A leader of the mob pinned a sheet of paper to Johnson's body. The note read: "To Justice Harlan. Come and get your nigger now."


Shipp and his lynch mob had no more than a few dozen, We have thousands. They CANNOT stop the People from EXACTING JUSTICE FOR OUR DAMN SELVES. Such is our right to pass judgment in the face of the overwhelming evidence of the crimes being committed. These bastards will hang.

That was a terrible story. It made me cry. The lesson and moral of the story was lost. It is not that we have strength in numbers, but what good does it mean if you achieve the wrong goal. If we attempt such an endeavor we may cause the very deaths of those we are trying to protect. Ed Johnson could very well have been innocent, and so they would kill an innocent man. Emmet Till was savagely murdered for whistling at a white woman. The woman just confessed that she had made up the story, that it was not true at all. So we may just cause more pain and suffering than we already have now. I cannot be a part of such immoral plans. Peace. Fairness and Justice.

Who the fuck are you trying to virtue signal to? Alefantis? Pedosta? Clinton?

I bring this up to remind you sheep of where the true authority of government is derived. it wasnt the courts, it wasnt the presidency not the congress that have the exclusive authority over the laws and power of this country; those governent bodies derive their power from the enumerated powers granted to it by the constitution. Surely you can remember the preamble, cant you?

"We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice and ensure domestic tranquillity to provide for the common defense, promote general welfare and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America."

Sorry if I hurt your feelings with my obtuse behavior but I feel like you're trying to excuse these baby eating monsters from their date with the rope.

You have taken my comment the wrong way. I only did not want anyone to become so enraged as to us this as an excuse to brand people that have done nothing. You really do think that some people will not go off and just start hauling innocent people off the streets and kill them or lynch them just because they are ME or Black? I do. I am entirely in favor of those horrible perverted pedos to swing from a rope. Believe me.

I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about how those people (the lynch mob) felt justice wasn't being served (by the rights we still posses today) went and told the SOCTUS to get fucked and ignored Justice Hanlon's stay of execution.Look what the consequence of their actions brought them, a slap on the wrist compared to the murder they commited. Quit thinking like a redditor you fducking nigger. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with allowing Alefantis, Podesta, clinton, epstien and countless other pedo bastards walk free after the heinous crimes they committed against all those untold children whose bodies were dumped in the ocean. Fucking hell

Hell we all agree that they should hang and it's well within our right to kill these bastards. If you say I killed them and I say atko killed them and ayko says amalek killed em, they will never be able to prove beyond the reaasonable doubt who actually killed them just like they couldnt prove who killed Ed Johnson

Even Hillary expected to swing from a noose if Trump won.
