A jury of his peers may have found him not guilty on all charges, but the court of public opinion seems to think otherwise. There's gonna be a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking going on long after the trial's over.
'Nuff said.

Regardless of whether or not it was meant in jest, I think that given the history of lynch mobs, it's in pretty bad taste to joke about hanging a black man accused of sexual crimes (you can argue about "black" Jackson really is, but the point still stands). Let us know if you plan to castrate or dismember him, or maybe coat him in tar before setting him on fire, in addition to the hanging -- because all of those things happened to lynching victims too.

Lynching threats are the new blackface!
