Colin Kaepernick Shows True Character After College Student Found Dead On Campus
The Spun ^ | Sep 19, 2025 | Chris Rosvoglou

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick showed his true character this week with his response to the death of Delta State University student Demartravion “Trey” Reed.

On Monday morning, Delta State University Police found Reed’s body hanging from a tree near pickleball courts. The Bolivar County Deputy Coroner’s Office ruled out foul play after their initial examination.

“Based on the preliminary examination, we can confirm that the deceased did not suffer any lacerations, contusions, compound fractures, broken bones, or injuries consistent with an assault,” the Bolivar County Coroner’s Office said. “At this time, there is no evidence to suggest the individual was physically attacked before his death.”

A few days later, the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office determined from their autopsy that Reed died by suicide.

On Friday, it was revealed that an independent autopsy will be performed. Kaepernick will cover the this expense for the Reed family.

"Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths. Peace will come only by getting to the truth.

The leftists, BLM, and antifa hope and beyond hope that this turns out to be anything other than a suicide, so they could have an excuse to loot every Walmart and target within a 50 mile radius and burn a couple city blocks down.

What I don’t think they realize though is that this isn’t 2020 anymore, and the days of Trump, allowing incompetent moron Democrat governors and mayors to dawdle as mobs burn everything to the ground, are over

They desperately want for Demartravion to have been lynched. Kinda sick.

They want the money.

But I would want to be sure about my loved one.

That leftist ghoul is hoping and praying it was not a suicide.

Colon isn’t showing character, he’s looking for an opportunity to exploit the suicide as a lynching. Then he can demand that the “lynching” was done by unknown “white supremacists” to keep spreading his racial injustice propaganda.

We’ll deal with the actual facts later . . .

How many different DNA samples are on the rope? Any DNA from others on the victim’s clothing or body?

”Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths.“

There’s a show on PBS that is hosted by some black actor/comedian that had him touring Oregon, and stopping in different places to do nature stuff. One of the stops involved climbing into forest canopy on ropes. After a while, he had to get down, not because he couldn’t climb higher, but for reasons we learned when he and the white arborist were back on terra firma. Seems he was freaking out about being a black man hanging from a tree by a rope. After some sobbing hugs and apologies by the white guy, it was off to enjoy some essential oils, and “forest bathing.”

High comedy....

Why? What are you hoping for?

"Medical Examiner's Office determined from their autopsy that Reed died by suicide. "

“Why? What are you hoping for?”

I’m hoping no DNA from other people is found, which will end the idea of a lynching.

“Medical Examiner’s Office determined from their autopsy that Reed died by suicide.”

Yet people are still trying to claim it was a murder. Truth needs to be proven in multiple ways when people are pushing BS.

I thought I read something recently about him being financially insolvent, and I think on FR. But somehow he’s involved in the funding.

The only Trey I knew personally was a III, with his father being Jr. and grandfather being Sr.

Apparently there is video leading up to the suicide - according to Newsweek today:

Poor schmuck decided to end his life, but then thought, why not try to make it look like a lynching? Stir things up some after I’m gone.

Until the video of his suicide is aired, properly pixelated so those who view violent movie productions of murders and other violent content such as in video games won't be traumatized (/tongue in cheek), this isn't going to end.

Seen any good blood, guts and gore zombie movies lately? / driving the point home

Colon Kaepernick is just trying to leach any notoriety from this tragedy he can. Since he has lost most if not all of the credibility and or relevance he thought he had, he's doing this for no reason other then self promotion.

Go home and be quite you sad little man.....
