Police told his parents they found him dead in his bed, they found out from the news that he was hanged.
No foul play, my ass.
Let me guess, the police chief's son is involved.
A black person hanging from a tree in Mississippi? Sure, it could be suicide, but c'mon. Let's be real here. It's on them to prove that this wasn't a lynching.
Black people don't hang themselves. To do so is to inflict the fear of a lynching on your loved ones and community. So if you hear that a black person committed suicide by hanging, assume lynching.
Accountability? For police? 😐
Sure, it could be suicide, but c'mon
I think a person killing themselves would probably not try to frame others for it. What, he thought it would be funny?
So yeah, no way in hell am I buying that this was a suicide.
A black person hanging from a tree, in a southern state, is itself a sign of foul play.
Pretty sure if anybody is found hanging from a tree without a chair or something under them is foul play. A black person hanging from a tree with nothing under them is likely a lynching and a hate crime.
The family is seeking an independent autopsy. Do we know about how long that will take? Somehow, no matter the results, I doubt i'll continue to see much about this specific incident in national news, and I'd like to remind myself to check back in on this.
yeah, but what about charlie kirk? he was a national treasure!!11one!
Don't worry about him. Charlie is settling into his afterlife of eternal torment.
Shouldn't take long but yes the media will be over this by then, they barely touched it.
This is going to be another one of those "we demand justice for" and within a month Trump will be badmouthing the poor guy that was hanged.
*lynched
No disrespect meant, but that's what this was (barring independent evidence to the contrary).
This was in Cleveland, in the Mississippi Delta. For those who don't know, the Mississippi Delta had some of the largest plantations in Mississippi and the racial and economic divide still very much holds up today. Plus Mississippi authorities are some of the most racist in the country, so no foul play my ass
Oh, ABC says that? The Nazi propaganda machine that just fired Jimmy Kimmel? Nothing to see here folks!
Mississippi has a history of sweeping black murders under the rug.
Mississippi Goddamn.
So the police did it. Or someone related to the police.
Yeah, you know, black people hang themselves all the time in Mississippi.
Don’t know what about Mississippi makes black people want to hang themselves so much more than in other states. Must be a black people issue.
Some trees in Mississippi have always grown hanging black people don't you know?
What strange fruit those trees have,
Scrolled looking. Beat me to it.
Lol make sure you believe the county coronor!! It's a job you can get just by pretending to know things. There are literally no qualifications beyond being appointed. I bet that guy really knows his stuff.
some places theyre elected
Reddit bans all mention of that.
There was nobody around using bed sheets or burning crosses. Let's not jump into conclusions.
Poor kid. Whether suicide or otherwise. A tragedy.
It’s Mississippi. It was a lynching, and like every lynching in the past, they’ve said “oh it must have been a suicide, we’ve got no evidence!”
Chances are, the people investigating them are friends with, or in fact are, the people that did it,
Still a fucking tragedy
Absolutely.
But it wasn’t a suicide. It was murder.
Novody cares, he wasn't white.
A second hanging was found just after in a different part of Mississippi. This victim was white. Will be interesting to see if there's interest. He was reportedly unhoused so another easy write off for the media.
people need to stop paying federal taxes.
This one is on Mississippi. Withholding federal taxes won't help with this.
All of this shit is being precipitated by the shit happening in washington.
