Black Student Found Hanging from Tree in Mississippi

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.

Why? Because the press works with white liberal ‘elties’ to carry their message. The message? That both sides are the same. It’s a lie - we’re not. But that’s why this story is getting play.

If this is not a suicide, they need to look at other black men (thugs) for a suspect

How were his limbs broken if it was a suicide?

Dwarfed by the number of black on white murders in the ensuing decades.

If you can find it, there’s an interview of JJ by none other than William F. Buckley, Jr.

Jackson didn’t understand half of what Buckley was saying.

I didn’t see that confirmed did you? If true, they need to start looking at other blacks (thugs)

Hanging yourself from a tree doesn’t seem like a black way of committing suicide.
