We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

No Republicans have backed the bill because they all want to bring back lynching- Wait a minute- isn't it already here?

It is astonishing that today, in 2018, lynching is NOT a federal crime. What is WRONG with our society? Where are the christians? Where are the decent law makers? How delusional are we to have our country be so inhumane? We are no better than the despots we vilify.

Not that I'm against making racially motivated lynching a federal crime, but since the last lynching was some 50 years ago, wouldn't it be better if they supported a bill that made the shooting of unarmed civilians by police a federal crime?

I get the impression that this is merely an election year feel good bill that will have no real effect.

The lynchings have never stopped, just lessened. There was an eleven year old girl maybe ten years ago who was raped repeatedly and lynched by two beer drinking racists. Left for dead, that little girl survived but with too many scars. There was a news story recently about a boy being lynched. Lynching is still an issue and should be a felony with prison time attached.

Too many Christians are republicans. In addition, they were KKK members and the right wing fascists of today. You don't see other religious groups in these organizations. Nope, they're bible toting Christians. Shame on us that no such law exists. I believe we are the only country that needs one.
