TIL that a mob from a nearby county threatened to lynch Black newspaper editor John Mitchell Jr. for writing an editorial condemning a lynching. Armed with two pistols, he then traveled to that same county to report on the lynching on-site.

“Mitchell himself was threatened with hanging at the hands of a Charlotte County mob angered by his reporting of the lynching, there, of Richard Walker in May of 1886. Mitchell was sent a rope with a note attached, warning him that he would be lynched himself if he ever set foot in the county. In reply, and borrowing a line from Shakespeare, Mitchell had this to say: “There are no terrors, Cassius, in your threats, for I am so strong in honesty that they pass by me like the idle wind, which I respect not.” Then, armed with two Smith & Wesson pistols, he boarded a train for Smithville and undeterred, walked the five miles from the station to the site of the hanging. He went unmolested.“

How about you download an episode, download the programs to make the gif, screen cap the scene, resize it, sharpen it, spend ages COLORING it, make sure it’s not over the limit, save it, upload that 1 gif onto tumblr, repeat the process for 9 other gifs and when it’s done I’ll just steal your entire photoset and claim it as mine :)) because gif makers spend time so their work can be stolen you know
