Thank you.

If it's the verdict not the actual crime, add Rodney King.

And, sorry, on the other side, O.J. Simpson.

There's no "other side" to lynching, which is what we're talking about here. One incredibly wealthy and famous black man getting away with killing his wife is completely irrelevant to the conversation, which is about US whites' consistently homicidal attitude toward black people, mostly in this context young black men, their extralegal ways of expressing it, and their consistent self-justification.

Thanks for adding their names. I was sticking to people killed, but McDonald and Alexander are important to bear in mind as well.
