One of the reasons is either because it involves a famous and influential personality, or the crime itself is too cruel not to be forgotten. Here are some of the most unforgettable crimes in American history.

“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.” Emma Goldman

Wells by arguing that “above all, lynching is about the law,” which is clarified to mean: “legal discourse and disciplinary practice [that] subtends the symbolic arena, marking out a topos of bodies and identities that gives order to generation, defines and circumscribes social and political behavior, and punishes transgression.” However, an objection to Wiegman’s attention to the connection between lynching and law is that it proceeds as if the power relations that make lynching possible were formally reflected and affirmed by legal discourse and policy. The problem with this rendering, so the objection goes, is that normative criminal law is then reductively understood to be an idiom of power, which represents law as purely instrumental to mob violence and the racial regime at the turn of the twentieth-century. Seeking analytic relief, the opposing position clarifies lynch law instead as a way of naming the suspension of normative criminal law by which vigilante justice transgresses or violates state arrangements for justice.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL. The game of American football as played today by high school, college, and professional teams grew out of rugby-style football which in the mid-1870s replaced a largely kicking game known as association football.

Moreover, Beccaria states that punishments are atrocious, and their public and solemn cruelty can only be reduced by enhancing their usefulness and consistency with the law (Baruchello, 2004). On the other hand, modern philosophers claim that cruelty can be opposed through conservatism, instead of liberalism. For instance, Kekes is convicted that liberalism can cause cruelty. Modern philosophers argue that punishment is essential to the flourishing of the society (Baruchello, 2004). Does deterrence work in modern American criminal justice?

When I was a kid, I remember living on a ranch and seeing cattle every morning I woke up going to the bus stop. I remember asking myself, “What happens to the cattle when they are loaded on to the trailers’. Once I got older, I learned that the cattle were transported to be slaughtered and after that they are shipped. The beef is shipped not only in the United States but also to foreign countries like Japan. The exportation of beef to Japan will now be brought to a slight fault due to Japan Financial Ministry making a decision to increase tariffs on US beef.
