J South,

Why would you equate "criminals" in Montana, with Negroes Lynched in the 
south who were convicted of committing no crime at all. The black man 
lynched in Anne Moody's autobiography that so shaped her teen years, 
committed a terrible offense. Being from Chicao instead of Mississippi and 
not know the "rules" in Mississippi, he whistled at a pretty white girl, and 
was lynched for it. So how can you compare the lynching of cattle rustlers 
in Montana with the lynching of a black boy in Mississippi for celebrating 
seeing something fine walk by?
