    "Lynch mob" is an interesting way to describe a group of people dealing with the fact that their sons, daughters, students and classmates had just been slaughtered. https://twitter.com/bethanyshondark/status/967059820170895360 …

        "Interesting" here is to be understood to be a synonym of "cunty"

        #ThoughtsAndPrayers to the NRA for taking some heat.

        Also the idea of the NRA being the victim of a mob is pretty funny. The poor, defenseless NRA being unfairly lambasted for their unequivocal support of mass murder.

        You don't need to AMPLIFY these knuckleheads by retweeting their drivel.

        That's what lynch mobs usually are--although I sympathize completely with the marchers.

        Um? The original lynch mobs were about attacking and murdering people the law wouldn't protect, the overwhelming majority of whom were innocent of whatever the mob wanted to kill them for beyond "existing" as an offense.

        i sometimes think that folks that throw around the phrase “lynch mob” really haven’t thought about what it means. part of me also thinks they wouldn’t care even if they did. they still wouldn’t get it.

        Pretty sure no one was getting strung up on trees......hyperbolic comments are hyperbolic and easy.
