That's one thing that the Trump Cartel understands.

I just read an interesting book on the first black man to successfully sue a group of masked 'night-riders' who shot him, drove his wife and children off of their own land and burned their home.
He sued them for $50,000 in 1897!
That one case took the enthusiasm out of 'night-riding' in Kentucky!
If anyone is interested, the book is 'A Shot in the Moonlight'.
