The brutal and unjust execution of John Roy, an innocent man accused of witchcraft in colonial America. On June 10, 1644, a mob mentality seized control as villagers from Lynn, Massachusetts gathered to lynch John Roy without trial or due process. The tragic event was sparked by unfounded accusations and fueled by fear-mongering superstition. As the crowd closed in on him with ropes and sticks, John Roy's cries for mercy fell on deaf ears. His life was extinguished in a flash of mob violence, leaving behind only questions about justice and morality. This senseless act serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked hysteria and the importance of upholding due process, even in the face of uncertainty or fear.
