biasbustersofks FEMA camps across USA are all guillotining the homeless already by authority of Trump and sovereign Vatican over US Army saints among them all beheaded as in scripture of IMMORTAL Christ;s REVELATION 20:4
In 50 years we can offer to make Kapernick an 'honorary football player' once he is old and grey or dead. Get the fuck outta hear with this. Black people deserve better. staywoke blm nonsense
Psst...THESE ARE ALREADY CRIMES, that come with sentencing. Maybe next we will make it illegal to have slaves, and ignore the fact that kidnapping/hostage situations are a thing that also come with sentencing. I can't with the stupidity.
This is the stupidest shit, and I keep seeing it posted. People this is mearly a bullshit stunt that in reality does nothing. It's the same as watching Trump pardon DEAD black people. If you lynch someone it's a form of assault, if they die it's murder...
damonbethea1 200+ years too late..wtf
Thank God
Well ok but lynching was replaced by the death penalty which kills a disproportionate number of minorities in modern times. I’m not sure i’ve heard of anyone being lynched in my lifetime so this is largely symbolic. Abolish the death penalty.
Just kinda mind-boggling
IRGeopolitics very right that you
Unanimously? With THIS Senate!?
Lynching is still a problem?
Not a minute too soon. oh wait...
“Lynching is a dark and despicable aspect of our nation’s history. We must acknowledge that fact, lest we repeat it,” Harris tweeted after the bill passed. Never mind the torch filled lynching she just attempted on Justice Kavanaugh
Good. Problem solved. Next?
When are you getting to truth in history books, and reparations? 3019?
Well how are we defining lynching? Is what cops are doing lynching? Otherwise are all these hangings that cops are ruling as suicides lynching? Stop dancing for blacks with no real results, you passing laws after the fact, ex post facto. tariqnasheed AdviseShowMedia
Just in time to save the politicians and judges?
cindy Hyde-Smith wouldve voted against
They had to act on this antiquated bill because Trump has enabled every hate monger in the US and around the world. They actually feel unrestricted to kill and Trump would turn a blind eye.
It's great to see the Dems doing great things for the country ?
Gotta start somewhere I guess
Wait Lynch tRUMP then make it a hate crime 😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So.... what .... was it...............before?
Would medical lynching be hate crime too?
Sad Obama couldn’t get this done but it took a Republican Senate and Trump to do it. Good job Trump and GOP!
Amazing that this wasn’t already a thing
About 50 years too late but better late than never
important stuff huh... Glad my tax dollars are being wisely wasted.
Barely
Do Not Congratulate. This took way too long.
RevJJackson “After nearly 100 years of failed attempts...” Disgraceful.
WP - Washington Propaganda.
Why a picture of he? Why not McConnell?
Good lord, thought I was seeing a '50th anniversary of...' headline at first.
What year is this!? No shit this should be a fah-qing hate crime!
Of course it is. Why are we making this law now and who has lynched anyone?
Check out NiceHoney4’s Tweet:
RevJJackson Really, they just passed that? What was the crime before, love crime?
RevJJackson It wasn’t already ❓🤔
RevJJackson Can we say it's about time!!!!
Senate unanimously approves bill sponsored by Kamala Harris to make lynching a federal hate crime
How is a form of execution, a hate crime?
Death penalty is next...
Surely tho not including TREASON ?
No Republicans voted against it?! I’m shocked.
Mind-boggling that it took this long to pass that piece of legislation.
Wow only 100+ years too late.
Glad they forking got around to it.
Some will miss that democratic tradition
Too little Too late
Anybody taking that seat up front? Wait, what...?
Are we taking bets if it will pass the house and then Trump refuses to sign it?
damonbethea1 How did they manage to do the right thing? Was it an accident?
Snorkledeeper You mean it wasn’t already WTH.
morgfair How was that ever a question?
Decades late IMHO
What year is this
Followed immediately by a bill declaring water wet
We're lucky the GOP Senate didn't declare lynching part of the South's sacred heritage.
It’s disgusting it took until nearly 2019 for this to happen.
Did the GOP senators also voted ? Wow. Their MAGA supporters must be steaming now.
goldbyrd Sorry Cindy Hyde Smith, you won't get to filibuster this.
I guess she has to try and make themselfs look important by putting this bill out even though no lynchings has gone on since 1981
last time a lynching took place was 1981
Thank God Now get racist cops judges & white Nazi Supremicists & charles Koch to obey this law. Good luck.
I've didn't think it happened anymore
Again much like an immigration bill and impoverished African Americans this should have been taken care of on BarackObama s watch. Democrats cry freedom while the money keeps blowing in their bags to sell out to Walmart and China and Merk.
BlackPayback What exactly is this suppose to accomplish
Hey! Another Congressional Bipartisan bill passed. 2years=2
Only took them 100 years
Kamala knows how to spot low hanging fruit. That’s a plus.
Seriously? Senators wasted time on THIS? I thought murder was already against the law?
Wouldn’t it already be first degree murder?
Someone should tell Hyde SmithAbout the approved bill. She might just be tempted to attend one, one could never know how a person with her stance on morality thinks
What about that Alabama senator da.
I want to know why it took them so long to pass the lynching hate crime bill. What's wrong with them?
About 150 years late.
Now, let’s get a Constitutional Amendment protecting equal rights for women
Indians are still far behind. No body will bell the cat.
So merely hanging someone is a hate crime, regardless of actual motive? That's cool.
That sure was quick. 🙄
1. Really? Even Mississippi voted for that? 2. It took until 2018?
Or murder?
The Senate approves bill To Trump Adminstration Congratulation Thanks .
Shootings too.
Would assume was a crime before because DOES involve scheming/plotting as group to kill (or even just with intentions) but just not called a 'hate crime' in the past. No that is I assume it could bring extra time, etc. The term 'hate crime' has not been around forever.
What's next 'beheading' ? What the hell are these people thinking?
About. Damn. Time.
How about an exemption for traitors?
And it was not one, previously? RACISTS
Well that took such courage. These people actually get paid for this nonsense?
They are busting out all over. This is 100 years late and better late than sorry doesn't cut it.
Finally. Something we can all agree upon.
They are so brave to take this stand. /s
I can't believe this wasn't a federal crime already. Still got long ways to go.
Good.
Who are you these senators? Could we just send them home and have the legislative bills be voted on during the end of year holidays? We all be winners.
So when does the bill declaring the KKK a terrorist group come up?
Cindy hyde smith right now
So lynching is a federal hate crime? I think cold blooded murder by any means is a hate crime.
You mean it isn’t?
Maybe Pelossi need medication now
Ida B. Wells-Barnett
Unanimous? Hmm.
W. T. F.
Took long enough.
Isn’t murder already illegal, what does it matter the means by which the murder happens?
242 years from now the Senate will approve the bill to protect Mueller. I look forward to it.
But the Republicans know Trump will veto it... Trump thinks lynching should be commemorated as a protected relic of a great bygone era.
But can’t even vote to protect Mueller investigation!
Still need a Blue Wave in the Senate 2020.
Lynching isn't really a thing anymore, but ok I guess
does that crazy lady from Mississippi know?
I find it unbelievable that this wasn’t done, oh, I don’t know, maybe over 100+years ago.
This seems long overdue
Lynching has been and done with for over 60 years; and “hate crime” laws already cover it in this day and age. You people are such a waste of time and taxpayer money.
Humans in power are very strange creatures.
Since murder already carries maximum penalties, does this really make a difference? Sounds like a dog and pony show.
Juuuuust in time
SpeakerRyan wishes it could be so easy.
igggie1 I’m shocked Rand Paul or Mike Lee didn’t have some stupid libertarian objection to this.
Congratulations, SenKamalaHarris for your persistence in getting this legislation passed.
Wow. Really? And it wasn’t already
This is a story worth reporting. What you guys are reporting is nothing burger.
Why do we need to make a law for this? Who lynches today?! They shoud have made a law calling for Democrats to apologise for slavery, Jim Crowe, segregation, founding the KKK as their paramilitary terrorist wing, and opposing Civil Rights legislation. WalkAway
This should tell everyone how slow our gov works at something. Should’ve been done 60-70 years ago
People still get lynched? Perhaps, we should make gassing people a hate crime. Oh yeah, let's not forget slavery, that should definitely be a hate crime.
It’s almost 2019, FFS! How was this *not* one already
Trump will veto because he is a racist!
Lynching? That's what our Congress is wasting our money on?
For some reason everyone wants me to thank Jared. Well EFF you JK.
Why do you use this pic of Kamala Harris?
Democrats must be sad now.
now what about chicago shootings?
Read Ida B. Wells book on lynching. Very interesting
Well since lynching was already illegal then ok How about we make a bill now to make it a hate hate crime And then let's make it a hate hate hate crime Then it will really be illegal Just a Harris PR stunt
What a joke! Obviously hanging people is already a crime its called murder but hey lets stoke this womans ego by saying good job calling it a hate crime. LOL More propaganda meant to stoke racial issues prior to 2020. Patterns dont chg much do they.
Wasn't this alreadY!?!!!
A no brainer, this is what we pay them for, this....
Purely symbolic since lynching is murder and murder is a crime already
THATS SAD , NOW WE GET TO WASTE MORE MONEY ON THESE PRISONERS WITH A FIRING SQUAD OR LETHAL INJECTION, HANGING FITS MOST OF THESE CRIMES AND IS A GREAT DETERRENT FOR OTHERS THAT TRY TO COMMITT A CRIME!!!!!
A hundred years late...
Wow, and just think there isn't anything compelling to work on...
That's timely.
What form of lynching doesn’t involve hate? Love lynching? If you lynch someone, you should go to prison for the rest of your life, and you shouldn’t need a special law to say that.
Hey ANTIFA thugs AntifaUSA , did you hear that?
It's 2018.
Wtf this wasn’t already a federal hate crime? In America?
About time, now what about witch burning
Are we in 1983?
Wait....it wasn’t already?!? Well then, that was really sticking their political necks out there.
Huh. Even Steve King?
