Lynching

[edit]

I removed the 'lynching deaths in Alabama' category because I don't see how this is a lynching. Facts of the matter are:

  1. Reynolds opened fire on the sheriff attempting to serve a warrant.
  2. He barricaded himself in his home and subsequently killed several others including some deputies.
  3. The militia was called in and fired upon the house.
  4. In an attempt to get him out of the barricaded house, the house was lit on fire.
  5. He was shot while attempting to escape the burning house and died. He had his rifle in hand when he was killed.

Now, true, the onlookers then looted his body for "souvenirs" as was common to do to lynching victims etc in those days. But that does not make it a lynching. Feel free to disagree, but please post your reasoning here if you decide to re-add the category. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 05:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Will Reynolds1902 Tuscumbia shootout – Per WP:PERP, Will Reynolds is notable enough for his own article. I don't believe anything was ever written about him before this shootout. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
