“That one makes no sense.
Lynching someone is something done outside of the law, thus it’s a crime.
Hanging a traitor happens after the person has been tried and convicted of treason. ”

It makes perfect sense. Think about what the people themselves will do when they find out about some of the horrific crimes that have been committed. These people won’t be safe walking the streets. This law would provide some federal protection. I got a shiny dime (I’m more generous that Bagster, lol) that says Trump won’t sign it if it makes it to him.

So no trial for those horrific crimes?
Just street justice?

Think about what that will do if the case were against you.
Would you want that to happen to you?
Shouldn't we keep "innocent until proven guilty" as a basis for our nation?

Try them and hang them, but at least let them have their day in court else someday we may each be facing a lynching of our own.

Oh, hey Cap’n that’s a helluva good interpretation - that didn’t occur to me at all. Good on ye!
