Lynching In Texas

A Junteenth celebration in Austin, Texas turns bloody. Will anyone call it what it really is?
A race specific celebration swiftly turns into a mob that beats a member of another race to death for no other reason then that he defied the mob's wishes.
Will anyone even mention the racial angle?


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.

Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.

The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
I am waiting with baited breath for the press release from Reverend Al.
That is if he can pry himself away from the Paris Hilton circus.

Has anyone else noticed that Juneteenth is rapidly becoming the African-American version of the Easter pogroms of Tsarist Russia? Not just in Texas but also in New York and Wisconsin.
And that is just this year.

This was not a lynching, this is pure racism. When they get caught send over to my prision, I'll take care of them if they don't get taken care of in the outside.
