Just a thought...This man’s suicide could also have been his ultimate activist statement, however false, in that it was meant to cause mass-suspicion of a hate crime. He may have thought that he’d found a way to add meaning to his death but unless proof is found either way, he was just another poor soul who decided to end it all.
Didn't take 'em long to rescind Trayvon's halo
Within a couple of sentences, I immediately thought of the symbolism of Martin Luther Drive and hanging black man

No, it didn’t. One wonders where is all the soul searching, hand wringing images of violent times past with respect to years’ recent polar bear victims. One dead old man outside a bowling alley in the Northwest comes to mind.
I really don't think so. He would have put a bag over his head, put on handcuffs, hit himself a few times - lots of things to make it look like a lynching

Many suicides try to make a good looking corpse. Women, for example, almost never do anything to their face. Some people clean up, shave, comb their hair, etc. Suicide is often a failed communications technique. I’m so desperate...or, now look what you made me do...
My first thoughts may be guilt thus a suicide. There is no mention in the article about how the woman died and how this man may be connected.. only that he was interviewed twice. If there wasn’t any obvious signs of a fight/beating.. perhaps he couldn’t live with the guilt or the perceived prison term if convicted. Just my thoughts on this....
I think they should charge the tree with obstruction if it doesn’t start talking.
Trees do talk, but slowly. It can take years to get to the end of a paragraph. Mostly, they complain about squirrels, kids with knives and how much their roots hurt. Young trees have it good now. When I was a sapling...
And I was under the impression that the family was found hanging in the tree.
Most families hanging from trees would want answers, whomever they were related to.
there are still violent neo nazi skinhead gangs around(hammerskins) so if its a lynching my money is on them.
lol. That was good.
I want answers, too. But I want them based on the facts, ascertained through forensic and investigative excellence.
I do NOT want a politicized, politically correct set of answers designed to inflame one side or the other while quelling unrest for the opposing side.
If it was suicide, the scene will tell the tale. If it was not, then the same dictum holds true.
He was really just turning his life around, likely on his way to church that day, graduating from high school shortly, everything set for a productive, long and happy life!
Is it possible for your sympathy gland to malfunction? I’m just not “feeling the pain” anymore.
Can I sue these folks for attempted abuse of my sympathy gland?
Non-story...
I maybe off by a few years but there has been no official lynching documented since 1968
Lots of whites were lynched in the south back in that day as well...
When was the last documented lynching in the US? Have these hammerheads ever lynched anybody?
