The layers of tragedy here are overwhelming. I personally believe (no proof-speculation) that the man may have been taking the coal as a last resort to keep his family warm or even just him. But it was an act of desperation. Why he would murder a man who caught him over some coal is astoundingly insane.

The loss of a law enforcement officer over coal is mind boggling, but I've never been desperate. It's not an excuse though.

To LYNCH this man was a disgrace. Unless that mob knew something that is not mentioned here, even if they did, that was NOT the way to administer justice and I feel did Special Officer Greer an Injustice.

Regardless, you died doing your job and Officer Greer, you are a hero. I can only hope that your descendants have made you proud by being heroes in their own right.

God Bless and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful, Brother.
