I had the TV on while I was making breakfast this morning, and the SyFy channel was making a timely airing of this episode:



TWILIGHT ZONE, "I Am the Night, Color Me Black"



Two men in a rural town were involved in a struggle, one killed.
There is a push by many locals to execute the surviving man, even though all suppressed evidence shows it was justifiable self-defense and not murder. An irrational hatred of the accused man, and an eagerness to vindictively see him executed, regardless of the facts.

Life imitates art.


Only in the episode the call is for lynching a black man.

And in the current situation, the call is to lynch a "white hispanic."
