OK, then. So explain to me then how if people are holding picnics and passing out postcards of hangings like this done by mobs for mobs with an explicitly economic purpose in mind was not like going to the grocery store in its heyday? If they felt there was the least possibility of being prosecuted for it, there would have been a cover-up, not a commemoration, right? There wasn't, so the assumption that this was going to change without sending Federal agents and soldiers in is nonsense, this assumption is what the libertarian naive at best misunderstanding of Jim Crow relies upon. Done your way, the good people of the South would still be sending postcards like this and commemorating the murders of people hardy enough to succeed despite the system.
