Senator Paul calls lynching a tool of terror demanding serious lawmaking
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul begins a floor sequence asking for expedited passage of the Emmett till antilynching act not because he took lynching lately but because he took it seriously and the legislation did not, lynching a tool of terror the claim the lives of nearly 5000 Americans between 1881 in 1968, but the bill would cheapen the meaning of lynching by defining it so broadly so as to include a minor bruise or abrasion but the nation's history of racial terrorism demanded more seriousness from Congress.
