Missouri State Rep Calls for Lynching 'hung from a tall tree'

Missouri state rep says person who vandalized Confederate statue should be 'hung from a tall tree'
BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 08/31/17 07:59 AM EDT

A Missouri state representative said in a Facebook post he hoped the person who vandalized a Confederate statue would be "hung from a tall tree."

State Rep. Warren Love (R) shared an article to Facebook, titled "Vandal throws paint on Confederate statue," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The article addressed the recent vandalism of a Confederate monument in Springfield National Cemetery.

"This is totally against the law," Love wrote in the post. "I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope."
