Bryan Stevenson's Opinion Lynchings

494 Words2 Pages
Bryan Stevenson, who is an American lawyer, was being interviewed by The Times when he nonchalantly compared the modern day death penalty to lynchings that happened during the times of slavery. The interview was about Bryan’s opinion on lynchings and how he compared these lynchings to terrorism. Although Bryan has a strong opinion about this subject I have to disagree with statement where he compared the death penalty and lynching. The death penalty is made for people who have not followed the law and was arrested for something illegal, where lynchings were an thoughtless action slave owners did to make their slaves fear them and work harder. Bryan Stevenson's exact words were, “I do believe that capital punishment is the stepchild of lynching.”

Capital punishment, also referred to as the death penalty, is the legal execution by the state for a crime as punishment. These crimes include treason, war crimes, genocide, and, most commonly, murder. The death penalty has been a topic of debate for decades, and while some argue that it is immoral and arbitrary, others believe that it is a just and appropriate punishment for the worst of crimes. In “The Supreme Court Should Rein In The Death Penalty”, Laurence H. Tribe claims that capital punishment often varies depending on countless factors, such as racial bias and geographical location, and therefore should be banned. Alternatively, Bill Montgomery, author of “Arguments to Abolish Death Penalty Refuted by Facts” argues that the death penalty is used sparsely, and when it is used, it is used appropriately.

According to Chesnutt, lynching is an evil practice not only because it is carried out unlawfully against persons who were often not responsible for any crime, but also because it was used as a violent display to intimidate the African American community and the denial of justice. False accusations often led to lynchings which was a crime committed by white mobs against black men. The criminal would either be burned or hung, as a way of punishment. The act, however, was actually meant as a mode of violent oppression and warning to the black community. The act of lynching is not meant to punish a single person, but to represent the idea of violence and purity to an entire community.
