Souvenirs sold for a dime, 16,000 people crowded to watch the scene, cheers like at a football game

There is no place in the world for what ISIS is doing to people. But do not pretend like America is exceptional when talking about ISIS. This country has had its own share of barbarians.

1. The video is from a credible source, the BBC, but...

The site linked is a conspiracy theory nutcase website.

Lots of Troofer stuff there, among other craziness.

2. and?????

what about the video? We still have these types of barbarians roaming the streets and backwoods of this country.

3. Yes we do.

Why did the video have to be linked from the CT website?

Easy answer: It didn't.

This is a BBC documentary, so it's probably at the BBC website.

Even the Youtube site the video links to is more credible than the nutcase one in the OP.

11. Well...

go ahead and post a different link. Problem solved, with a whole lot less typing.

4. The 1998 murder of James Byrd tells us that racial hatred in this country is alive and well.

Although the 1916 torture and murder of Jesse Washington was horrific and to add insult to injury, no one was charged and convicted for that horrific ISIS-style murder of this poor man, at least in Byrd's case, the three White Supremacists were caught, charged, and convicted...although that's poor solace to the family who waited in vain for him to come home.

White Supremacists, as delusional and hate-filled as they are, would call what they've done to James Byrd "free speech" or even "Christian" - which is blasphemy and against everything Christ stood for. These people LOVE to call themselves "Christians", but they are as ANTI-Christ as any human being can be. They, and others like them across this nation, are the anti-Christ Christians have been warned about.

9. This one really gets me

So recent, 1998. Without provocation. Not for any "cause". Just pure violence.

10. Me, too, adieu. I don't understand how guys so young, barely out of their teens, can be so full of

hatred to the point that they'd take an innocent and kind man, and chain him to their pickup before proceeding to spread his body parts all along the road until there was nothing left. It breaks my heart.

5. K&R to book mark this.

And the next time a right winger goes on about Isis burning someone I will send them this.

[trusty elf]

6. Absolutely horrific

I'm speechless.

7. Lynchings averaged

about one a week for 80 years. Most were in the south, but not all by a long shot. Racial murder remains alive and well.

8. White barbarism is okay....

Because God is a white guy.
