It happened. I didn't know the guy personally so I don't have strong feelings one way or the other

I also can't comment on his character but the circumstances around the invasion, trial, and execution are so sketchy I can't help but compare it to a lynching.

How was it a lynching? He was in prison for 3 years, underwent a trial and was sentenced to death.

Now regardless what you think about the Trial process, the fairness of the process or what type of court it might have been, this was not a lynching. A lynching, by definition is an "Extrajudicial Punishment". This does not meet that criteria.

Words have meaning people. Using them incorrectly weakens your argument.

I don't know a damn thing about the situation, or really who or what he did other than the hanging itself
