What is so fascinating is, that if one of the deputies hadn’t shot one black man in the mouth, the odds are they’d have gotten away with it, in modern times.
I’m 65, and can remember as a child being told by Chris Christian, a retired engineer on the railroad, of him watching as a young man a lynch mob in Arkansas drag a black man caught with a white woman from a train and murder him.

Chris said he was a young fireman, and all he could do was watch, or the mob would have killed him, too.
I thought all that was over, and dead along with the Dixiecrats.
It’s not over.
An entire generation of young white men have among them those that lost whatever morality they were taught growing up.
