I'd go. Then later print shirts depicting a lynching saying "I survived the 1911 lynch mob...... but Zachariah Walker didn't!"

It doesnt matter, nothing you could have done short of James Bond-esque tactics would have prevented this mans death. Any sane and rational person would have watched this rare act of social behaviour.

Nope. I watched jerry springer once cause there was a drag queen on that looked like a really hot chick. I stopped watching the news cept for Bill Oriely and the daily show/colbert report (news?).
That's sick that people like that shit. That stuff just stresses me out.

So, you have never watched two girls making out or getting grabby with each other at a party? I suppose you want to explain how one is "Art" while the other is "brutal American indecency" Pat Robertson.

Don't be a dick. I don't like to see death or chopped up people. Yeah, watching hot chicks go at it is great.
I just wouldn't go to the lynching.

Well, atleast I hope that you are aware of your western social conditioning and that your aversions, phobias, and manias are not truly your own, but learned behaviour.

So, killing people is Art now. Is everything art then? So would you condone killing, because it's art? So if you were in Germany during Hitler's reign, you would have loved to be a camp commandant, there's art all around you. You are a sick person. What the hell is with this Pat Robertson thing? I wouldn't go and be realistic enough to know that I couldn't stop it. I don't want to be a witness of the depths to wich humans can sink.

I would go, only to witness human nature in action, it kind of fascinates me how some people can be so easily turned into a crazy mob and what can take place when people are in this savage state.
Cybrbeast you how can call someone sick for wanting to live in reality? I would have liked to see the Nazi camps and witness the horrible things there, not to say I wouldn't be emotionally destroyed by what I saw, I would however like to see human nature being worked out.

uhmmm wait..if the guy was found guilty and its 1911..won't he just be hanged anyway? i mean..what if you were a family member of the victims.you would want justice. i'd personally go with a gun to get a head shot in. its less suffering that way. he still is sentenced to death tho. True he was black man and the evidence was sketchy at best..but they had a weak justice system back then. you were lucky if someone was "caught" for the crime. most crimes went unsolved. i think nowadays with better DNA testing and evidence collecting... i think more ppl should be hanged. Would make more room in the jails.

No Psilocyberin, it is not the same. All higher lifeforms that are social animals get stressed when individuals from their enviroment meet with a horrible death.
90% of soldiers avoids killing at all cost.
Aversion to torturous death is not the same as spider phobia. It is not acquired behavior but rather it is an inborn instinct, and when it is severely detoriorated or eradicated altogether such a person is labeled a sociopath/psychopath, a personality structual disorder.
Unless you are one of the latter, witnessing a lynching is traumatic to some extent.
Aversion to torturous death isn't a feature of western culture, it is at the heart of what makes us human, and psychologically healthy social animals.

Why have public executions been so well-attended throughout the ages then?
