Ahmaud Arbery in February. Almost Dameon Shepard just the other day. Let's call these little citizen interventions what they are: lynch mobs. nytimes.com/2020/05/10/us/…
This photo is from the movie To Kill a Mockingbird, which depicts a Jim Crow-era lynch mob in 1930s Alabama coming for Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused. What happened in North Carolina to Mr. Shepard just last week is way too close for comfort. 
That America today can so closely resemble 1930s Alabama is shameful. Good people - the vast majority of us - need to stand up to this latest rise in racial violence. Or more Dameons and Ahmauds will become victims of senseless hate as history repeats itself in the worst ways.
