A noose typically is strictly for hanging. I don't see why it should be the symbol (though, I can see the point of this thread a little better now if you are associating it as such).

i dont know where you are from but in the US "Lynching" has a pretty specific meaning in terms of how its used. basically means a mob hanging someone outside the justice system.
its not a question of someone making some bizarre association, its a question of common usage and historical context
