put them down that doesn't mean that they didn't happen.
I saw an attorney who noted that he did a paper in college about the curious waxing and waning of KKK lynchings and cross burnings. He went through historical documents that showed that virtually all of those who were eventually convicted of those crimes, or even who were credibly accused, were documented mental cases. But he dug in further to try and understand why these incidents would come and go in waves. There would be big outbreaks for a number of years and then they would die off and disappear for years at a time, only to suddenly reappear again.
He reasoned that the number of people with mental disorders did not wax and wane on schedules like that, many in one decade, then virtually none for years, then suddenly another wave of them would appear.
He found that it was a matter of those in power giving a wink and a nod to those who were unhinged, letting them know that there would be few if any consequences for their violent lawlessness. His thesis was that those in power were not only allowing, but often condoning the violence, and rewarding it. When their jobs were done, the useful idiots could be dispensed with.
