Original Note:
Using the word “lynching” implies racial kidnapping and illegally hanging. In this case, the discussion was about types of state executions. Hanging was discussed as a form of execution, illegal lynching was not. https://news.yahoo.com/tennessee-republican-lawmaker-apologizes-lynching-232543533.html https://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entries/lynching/
