Maybe you're getting negged because you ran with the lynching of a black man angle to start this thread when it's becoming obvious your assumption is not the case? Just spitballing here.

Okay, so Art has just confirmed the Houston guy was White/Hispanic who had suicidal tendencies.  That is a shame, and I pray for him and his family.  

I will still keep this thread open though because of the two “suicides” in California that are very, very suspect.  

 

 

What have you done to be better?

Not start race baiting bullshit that is completely unsubstantiated.  Fuck you.  You’re a fucking asshole.  

And if this board was at all fair you’d lose about 1000 rep point for this crap.

I trust Art very little. But if he is wrong on this he is done. Unlike other things (like no knock raids) which can be controlled and the narrative set I’m not sure how the facts don’t come out on this apparent suicide if Art is lying. 
 

@Hugo Stiglitz you are the expert apparently. So please enlighten us. 
 

Or even better. Stop posting.

A black man hanging from a tree at should be presumed a murder until significant evidence indicates otherwise.   I’m not sure why this is a hard logical assumption.  

Maybe because it appears to not be a black man?

When was the last black man hung from a tree, murdered Lynch style in the United States?

I doubt I could be persuaded to believe that any black person would commit suicide by hanging themselves from a tree in public. 

What about a white/hispanic man with suicidal tendencies?

Per the interwebz, 1981

I definitely think the James Byrd Jr. murder should be considered a lynching. That happened in 1998 in Jasper

The Houston one had been on social media all day. Everyone—black, white, Latin—was saying it was a Black person.  From the video, they looked Black.

We got information from Art that this person wasn’t and that they had suicidal tendencies.  I’m fully here to admit that everything I saw was wrong, and that what I posted about the Houston one was wrong. 

That, however, does not mean what has happened in California can be ignored.

There have been a lot more “hangings” of Black males within the last 10 years that have just been officially declared suicides when the family knows that wasn’t the case.  So yes, you’ll find the the last official lynching was in 1981, but that doesn’t mean that is the case.  That is just per the justice dept.

Maybe Pancho learned a lesson to not regurgitate stuff he sees on social media as fact. Probably not. 
 

edit: After seeing his post above, definitely not

It’s like you people don’t listen

I’ve already admitted me being wrong.  See the post above. I’ve also said it doesn’t mean we should ignore what has happened in California.

To be fair, we don't really know what happend in California either yet.  Like I said before, I "hope" they are suicides because the other alternative is just pure evil.

I was at the scene about 90 minutes ago and it was grotesque. Flies buzzing around bloodstains on the ground beneath the tree...I never knew hanging was so bloody, but the reek of death still permeates my nostrils even though I was masked. 

Word was trickling through the crowd that this was a suicide of a Hispanic man but some people did not seem satisfied with that. It's like they wanted a lynching. I say this with neutrality but I warn in the words of CS Lewis:

Quote

"The real test is this. Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything — God and our friends and ourselves included — as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred." -- CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

You should be really pissed at Eric Holder’s DOJ for covering up black male lynchings for 8 years.

The worst thing about rushing to judgment like this, is it makes posters like @John Lawrence look better.

I know right?  Asking questions.  Wanting more information.  Totally oblivious to the feelings of those in this thread who clearly wanted this to be a lynching.  What a piece of shit he is.

No.  You’re still equivocating and posting bullshit conspiracy crap.

That doesn’t describe me in the least.

 

When you say “that is a shame” I think you’re most angry that the guy was Hispanic. 

I’m not angry at any one committing suicide.  There’s nothing in my post that you can point to that would make you even want to stop your dinner to suggest something so disgusting.  It’s not clear why would you even think this as it’s sick.

Any idea how many?  I thought that part of our history was completely done long ago.
