Talk:Murder of Brooke Hart and the lynching of Thomas Harold Thurmond and John M. Holmes

copyedit needed
Thurmond is arrested twice and Hart's body is found twice -- this reads like two separate articles interleaved into one. I could take a stab at fixing this, but I'm not as familiar with the subject matter as others might be.--NapoliRoma (talk) 00:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Is there any information about where Brooke Hart's earlier life? Was the family home in San Jose? There's a street address given, but there's not a city attached to that address. The family information looks like it was an afterthought with poor punctuation - almost like an unformatted chart. Jtyroler (talk) 20:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Jackie Coogan
findadeath.com reports that Hart was a frat brother (Santa Clara University) and good friend of the actor Jackie Coogan. CFLeon (talk) 19:26, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

NY Daily News Photos
There are some striking photos in a NY Daily News article on this:

I don't have the computer know-how to upload them. -- Michael David (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Computer know-how is not the problem. The photograph is owned by San Jose Mercury News. It is recommend to get permission from them before adding it to Wikipedia. The age of the photograph may mean it is fine to copy but there could still be some copyright issues. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:31, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

So Much Duplication
The crowd gathered three different times and psychiatrists visited twice. This really needs some help. If I come back and nothing has been changed, I'll give it a go. Ngmcs8203 (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Lynching not legal
Lynching was never legal. So why would there be "subsequent Congressional attempts to outlaw lynching"?Royalcourtier (talk) 06:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe the point is that lynching is not a specific crime. There are crimes committed during the lynching (rioting, assault, murder) that could be tried as separate crimes, but there is no "crime of lynching," if that makes sense. There may have been subsequent efforts to define the crime of "lynching" but there probably were sufficient other crimes committed during the course of the lynching that could have been prosecuted. Refer to this article, published contemporaneously with the 1933 lynching:
