The Weapon of Time in Creating the Belief of Moral Balance

[Part of the White Media Analysis Series — Northern Narrative Blindness — Part 2 of 4]

The Unbalanced — real life death of an innocent man: “The latest victim of mob vengeance, Lloyd Warner, was dragged from his cell, beaten into insensibility, hanged and then burned…More than two hours after the negro had been hanged, hundreds of citizens surged about the pyre, shouting, laughing and jesting.”

He is giving gravity to their violence, adding a sense of continuity and organization. Which it doesn’t have at all.
