Original Note:
The author’s tweet implies that lynching was legal before H.R.55. The last recorded lynching victim was Michael Donald of Mobile, Alabama. He was murdered over 40 years ago on March 21, 1981. One of his killers was executed, and the other two received life sentences. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95672737
