THE TERRIBLE LYNCHING OF WADE THOMAS " A MEMORY NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN

 Wade Thomas Lynching


On December 26, 1920, an African-American man named Wade Thomas was lynched in Jonesboro, Arkansas, by a white mob. The mob seized Thomas from the Jonesboro jail after he allegedly shot local Patrolman Elmer Ragland, and murdered him.


Members of the white community quietly assembled in Jonesboro until there was a mob of about 400 people. 


The police initially attempted to protect Thomas; Jonesboro Police Chief Gus Craig and Mayor Gordon Frierson had barricaded the jail.


 When the mob broke through the two surrendered Wade Thomas without a struggle because, as Mayor Frierson later recalled, "When the mob opened the door, the first half-a-dozen men standing there were leading citizens — businessmen, leaders of their churches and the community."


Other Black prisoners were left alone; only Thomas was seized paraded around the town and then hanged from a telegraph pole near where Ragland was shot. His body was then riddled with bullets.

THE SHAMELESS MOMENT BOTH COUPLES WHERE FOUND DOING THE WORST IN THE

The disturbing footage was taken at around 8 p.m. in the town center, next to a pub and behind the Spice Lounge Indian restaurant, where the words "no parking" are spray-painted on the wall. The Sun UK reports that this is where the footage was taken. The unidentified couple doesn't seem to care that people are observing and recording their wild actions. The man, dressed in a white shirt and white pants, glances up at the camera toward the end of the video, and it seems like the person filming him is giving him the thumbs up.
