Crime Two men hanged from a tree in Mississippi

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

My friends wife was found hanging from a tree with her hands tied. Police ruled it suicide. For all the race enthusiasts here both were white

Suicide with her hands tied...?

Wait are they saying there was no foul play because there was no evidence he was attacked before he died?

I hope not. Just because he wasn't attacked before he died doesn't mean he wasn't murdered

That seems to be the claim as of now

Why is this significant/suspicious? I'm pretty sure right on the front page of this forum, there are threads about a newly released song from "MAGA rapper" Fogiato Blow that literally advocates for lynching (although any connection here is a bit of a stretch), and just days ago a major news figure had to apologize for saying "just kill em" re: homeless people. So discussion of lynching and killing homeless was already in the news before they found a black kid hanging from a tree and several instances of homeless people murdered.

Do I think the hanging of the young student was a lynching? Probably not, but it's Mississippi, and "Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses", you know. As for the killings of homeless here and elsewhere, do I think the killers were inspired by Kilmeade? Again, probably not. However, outrage makes money, and both sides of the political spectrum never let a shocking news story go to waste.

For what it's worth, I personally know a dude who hung himself from a tree. He used a tree stand during deer season in case people are wondering how it's possible.

A lot of families deal with the grief by assuming homicide in the case of a child or young adult. They can't believe their son or daughter would take their own life, and it can reflect negatively on the family whether it was a factor or not.

I knew 3 people who killed themselves. 2 adults and 1 child. The kid and one of the adults hung themselves.

It is not hard to get a rope.

I have a friend who had a coworker that killed themself. By all accounts the guy was happy and enjoying life, he went out socialized and did not show any signs of depression. One night he killed himself and everyone was very shocked. Sometimes depression is kept inside until it is not and then it can be too late.

A lot of times when someone dies by suicide, they seem happy and enjoying life leading up to it, because they've made their decision and are calm and at peace. It's so sad. I've been a teacher for 23 years at the middle/HS level and had to deal with a lot of them over the years and it NEVER gets easier.

lol, the "real world" where you cherry pick statistics. Any amount of lynchings is bad but if we are talking where problems are the most serious then lynchings is not at the top of the list.

If we go with the numbers in the article the lynchings between 2000 and 2011 average less than one per year. From 1877 to 1950 it's around 55 per year.

In the city of Chicago this year alone there have been 52 murders. Keep in mind that's just Chicago, and just this year, which is not over yet.

https://www.chicagopolice.org/wp-content/uploads/1_PDFsam_CompStat-Public-2025-Week-7.pdf

In 2019 across America there were 246 white people murdered by black people and 2574 black people murdered by other black people.

Expanded Homicide Data Table 6

ucr.fbi.gov

Now to be fair, white people murdered 566 blacks, and 2594 whites, but whites were ~60% of the population in 2019 and blacks were around 12%. Which means that the per capita number of murders by race at the time were 3.6 per 100,000 for whites and 24.06 for blacks.

If you had any sense of history or understood how the mind works, you would know why some of this happens.

Crime is more rampant in areas that fall below the poverty line.

The percentage of blacks vs whites who live in more poverty stricken neighborhoods is generally much higher. There is historical context to this. Segregation for one. Them not being able to get proper education, health care or even jobs just cause of the color of their skin.

Added to this the constant fear of dying at the hands of the white man for simply looking at someone the wrong way.

This all can build psychologial chaos in the mind of anyone. That gets passed along.

It's easy for well to do people to say they dont understand why. Sure, you wouldnt as you didnt grow up that way or had parents or grandparents who grew up that way.

Malcolm X said it best in his autobiography. He got educated as the lone black kid in a school. He was the standout and was clearly highly intelligent, even at a young age. Even though, his teacher told him he couldnt be much more then possibly a carpenter but never a doctor or something more prestigeous. His father was murdered by racists and his mom ended up in an institution. He was pushed to the street life and ended up in jail which is where he finally received the education he was looking for. The rest is history.

Thats why that book is important. It gives people a glimpse into why some blacks in the US think the way they do about whites, and how things can get passed down generations.

There were areas in the US that were flourishing which were predominantly black. All of a sudden they are drug infested, gang ridden areas. Thats not a fluke. Its a known fact the government had an agenda back then. People like Hoover had an agenda. The US has a very grim and sorted history they trying desperately to forget. Im not saying we have to keep talking about it, but we should acknowledge that things happen for a reason.

If a race looks at another race as the enemy for long enough, it can take a lot of work to reverse that process. This is why instead of spending 3 quarters of your budget on military/defence, you should partition a nice chunk of that off to improving the quality of neighborhoods, reducing addiction issues by combating what leads to anxiety and stress levels to skyrocket. Improving education across the board, especially at an elementary level. Drastically inproving health care.

You guys have a lot of work to do. Also, your political system stinks and you elect self serving douches almost every time. So good luck.

It never stopped. It just gets reported as "public suicide with no foul play"

Ya know...because people so commonly hang themselves from trees as a method of suicide

I have a hard time believing that any black man in America who was feeling suicidal would choose to hang himself from a tree in a public place.

dudes usually leave a note. I lost a dear friend that way, we were supposed to go to a show... He stopped answering his phone a couple of hours before the time to leave, I enter his home (I had a key) and there he was. Forensics "professionals" were so bad that they asked me to hold the body while they cut the rope. Worse day of my life and after that having to deal with the cops (from a different department) questioning since "there was no note" and my prints were all over. But there was a note, his mom found file on his PC a couple of days later (the cops didnt think about looking in that at the time).

Point being... if the dude did it himself, he probably wrote something somewhere

Holy shit man
Really sorry to hear what you went through. How are you holding up?

 

[RoastBeast]

The FACTS are there is no signs of foul play.

Full stop.

But hey, let's ignore the entire #BLM debacle and the media's propensity to throw gas on a fire to get clicks and advertising dollars.

The modern day racism 'epidemic' was just a lie perpetuated by the liberal media to stir shit up. It cost people their lives and untolds amounts of businesses got burned down and looted.

 

[Scerpi]

These two were found a day apart, but 100 miles away from each other. They are not listed as suspicious. Why are we taking two unrelated cases, both apparent suicides, and making a story about it?

Because.... Racism

Which is possible, but not likely


As someone said earlier

No fucks will be given about the white guy though

Like others have said, it never stopped. Last year a woman who turned 70 years old was the first black kid at an all white school. Only 64 years ago was that still going on, and those bigoted people still exist today. They never changed their opinions, they just stayed more quiet and raised their own kids to be the same. It explains why so many losers in here can't explain their irrational hate, it's just because they're bigoted cretins lol.

This also happened during COVID or a year after, all over the USA young black people were being found hung in public parks. Definitely not a coincidence, so many powerful and hateful people in this country, with their micro dick energy, and thinking they're better than someone because they were born white. That's insane mental weakness.

Young black people hung in parks all over the US? Link

The hanging is not the suspicious part. It is the very public location, particularly from a tree. Generally, suicide by hanging is done away from public view/property. Not always of course but deviations from that are still strange.

We're still waiting for the autopsy report to be finished and released, private investigations/autopsy to be conducted, and a potential FBI investigation. We'll see what comes up

There was no evidence of murder. How you hang someone and they dont fight back if they are not tied up. "Well you could drug them" apparently there is no evidence of that.

Im all for letting the family investigate it as they want. Hell let anyone investigate it as long as they stick to facts.

I remember this. It was unsettling. Im not saying every one of them was a lynching. Strange as it may be, some may have chosen to end their lives in that way. Im saying it is deserving of further investigation at a minimum.

Of course every death like this should be investigated and results published. However the problem is when people ignore the facts and just go on feelings.
