Man Says He Was Victim of Attempted Lynching: ‘It Could Have Been from 1820’

Protesters gathered in front of the county courthouse in Bloomington, Indiana in response to the police’s decision not to arrest white men who Vauhxx Booker says pinned him to a tree and threatened to lynch him in a wooded area near Lake Monroe on July Fourth — an encounter that was partially recorded and prompted widespread outrage on social media. At the protest, a red car stopped to clear a scooter from the road in front of it. When a woman placed her hands on the hood, they accelerated.
