I recall how shocking it was (and, really, still is) when I first heard of decapitation being practiced as part of the war of terror.
And it is a terrorist act, no doubt.
Of course such things are never new.
One of the truly horrific practices of our own quite recent history is lynching.
On this day in 1930 Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith were lynched in Marion, Indiana…
A persistent act of terror that haunts the republic to this day…
