The women are the most guilty because they knew it was bullshit. The men took the women's word as fact and hunted down the person they believed was a rapist.
No, they thought he wolf-whistled at her. Are you seriously trying to justify this lynching, if only to try to exculpate the men involved?
using men who didn't know it was false to enforce her will.
Just out of curiosity: why was it 'her will' that this boy should die? Let me guess, you believe that just like Kim Potter, she 'took the opportunity' to kill a guy?
I'm not defending anyone. I'm saying that those who spread the false information that leads to a person being killed are arguably more guilty. Are you really trying to tell me that white knighting for a woman who claims to be a sexual assault victim isn't supported by society, especially in tradcon 50s culture?
During the murder trial, Bryant testified that Till grabbed her hand while she was stocking candy and said, "How about a date, baby?" She said that after she freed herself from his grasp, the young man followed her to the cash register, grabbed her waist and said, "What's the matter baby, can't you take it?" Bryant said she freed herself, and Till said, "You needn't be afraid of me, baby",used "one 'unprintable' word"and said "I've been with white women before."
She accused him of way more than whistling. Although it wasn't rape. It was only sexual assault she accused him of. I always thought it was rape.
Why was it her will? Ask her. How the fuck would I know why? All I know is that she's proven to have lied, which means she was 100% knowledgeable of what the consequences would be for him, and the piece of shit said nothing.
67 years later and they're doing the same shit still, but thankfully lynching has been condemned to the history books.
