WikiProject Terrorism

@Thats Just Great: Why have you indicated this article falls within the scope of WikiProject Terrorism? I can appreciate why a lynching of a person of a minority ethnic background could be considered racial terrorism, as there are sources that make such claims. But the lynching of people who are of the same ethnic background as the vigilantes suggests something different is going on in this community. Please cite sources or otherwise explain how and why this article is describing a form of terrorism, rather than just being a serious form of crime. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the Klan is a hate group and therefore many acts done in the early 1900s would be considered terrorism if done today. 97.113.45.12 (talk) 05:28, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible charges or at least some accountability

I think it would be nice to have charges filed now and at least some accountability. The family deserves that. Also the Klans of this area should be fined and pay the descendents of this family. 97.113.45.12 (talk) 05:30, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
