Black Student Found Hanging from Tree in Mississippi
MeidasTouch News ^ | Sep 16, 2025 | Troy Matthews

Posted on 09/16/2025 10:21:00 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

The body of 21-year-old student Demartravion “Trey” Reed was found hanging in a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi on Monday. Campus police chief Michale J. Peeler told reporters no foul play is suspected and the death is considered a suicide, despite no official cause of death yet being released by the county coroner’s office.

Members of Reed’s family have stated both his arms and one of his legs were also broken, however police have disputed this.

"At this time, there is no evidence of foul play," Peeler said. "But while there is no evidence of foul play, the body has been retrieved by the Bolivar County Coroner's office. I have requested the assistance of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, the Bolivar County Sheriff's office and the Cleveland PD to assist us in this ongoing investigation."

The death comes after a week of heightened violent rhetoric online following the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Multiple Historically Black Colleges and Universities were forced to take emergency measures including class cancellations and lockdowns last week after repeated threats.

The hanging of a black man in the south hauntingly calls back to the days of Jim Crow. Members of the community say the significance cannot be ignored given the current state of U.S. politics.

Tragic death. But the race hustlers will be changing it to a lynching by Whites.

Rumor in the area is rhe hanging man had both legs broken.

You mean the rumors that the family is telling the agitprop article writer?

Members of Reed’s family have stated both his arms and one of his legs were also broken, however police have disputed this.

The only "Lynching" in my area was a white guy, who by all accounts, deserved it:

If this took place on the Delta State campus, maybe there were security cameras in the vicinity.

Alex Jones has predicted this for years.

It is straight out of John Podesta's 2020 civil war blueprint (they even made a movie about civil war), delayed four years because they managed to steal the 2020 election.

  1. Assassinate a number of conservative leaders.
  2. Conduct false-flag attacks on blacks and illegals with which to frame conservatives.
  3. Let the George Floyd-style riots begin.
  4. And away we go!

Can it be ignored if he committed suicide? Even that is a tragedy.

10 to 1 this is to get the narrative off of Kirk immediately. Delta State is Memphis gangland territory and someone probably got paid to lynch someone for $$.

If this was suicide, it seems, the black kid, did it in this fashion, to gin up, this exact type of reaction, from the left.

“Hell no, we ain’t forgettin’” was the cry of Southerners who just couldn’t get over losing the Civil War, Reconstruction and all these wrought. Ironically, it now applies to those who can’t let go of the institutionalized racism of the past, and all it wrought. When Kamala Harris longed for going into the future unburdened by the past, she was onto something.

There is much woke-amplified “belief” that lynching, klan terror, and white supremacy are alive and happening all around us (well, in Mississippi). Though MSNBC of course wants to stir up trouble, the deceased student, his family, community, and all of us deserve a full, honest investigation. The campus police chief did right to involve multiple other agencies and be forthcoming. This could be a simple suicide by a distraught kid, or many other things.

Adding: why the long, drawn out history of hangings in the South? THOSE were committed mostly by Democrats.

Done solely by Democrats.

The globalists are upset that the killing of Charlie Kirk did not set cities ablaze. Have they just resorted to plan B?

Demartravion “Trey” Reed …

Campus police chief Michale J. Peeler told reporters no foul play is suspected and the death is considered a suicide
This blatant propaganda outlet is just five years old. They originally formed with the specific intent to stop Trump’s re-election in 2020, which means they are also complicit in aiding voter fraud. They are truly despicable.
