> The part about the charred body and barbeque was definitely a joke. It had a punchline and laughter and everything. The rest sounds like casual talk, shootin’ the breeze. Without further evidence I wouldn’t say it amounts to a conspiracy to place a hit on a journalist, but it still reflects very poorly on them. Longing for the days when sheriffs could lynch Black people sounds just as bad as it looks in print. ~Max
