Very suspicious-looking "suicide" in Ohio
May 26, 2016 at 8:46 am (This post was last modified: May 26, 2016 at 8:46 am by Regina.)
*WARNING - distant picture of the man hanging*

http://atlantablackstar.com/2016/05/24/3...a-suicide/

The body of a 38 year old black man from Atlanta was found hanging from a tree in Beachwood, Ohio. The athorities have apparently ruled out foul play and are calling it suicide.

Convincing?

"Suicide." I have a lot of questions here. Why in public? Why in such a manner that resembles lynching? Why did he go all the way to Ohio to do it?

It's very hushed up as well. I had only fell across the story by accident on social media and there's hardly anyone talking about it in the press.

Nowhere near enough information to go on. All the article says is the body was found and identified, and foul play isn't suspected. Need data.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No proof sure, and "innocent until proven guilty" and all that jazz. I'm just saying, in America it's not unthinkable. Cops shoot un-armed black kids all the time, and just last year we had that Children of The Corn looking white kid shoot up that black church. This guy hanging like it's the 30s could probably be overlooked if it wasn't for all the shit that's been happening lately, but the idea of someone hanging a black dude and framing it as "suicide" unfortunately isn't unthinkable, or even surprising at this point. It gets to a point where you can't just keep dismissing it like "eh, coincidence".

I want forensics. If suicide he needed to climb the tree and drop. There would be evidence on his hands, shoes, clothes, .............. If murder I'd expect there would be some evidence of defensive wounds, other dna, other foot impressions, ..........................

I agree that nowadays cops shouldn't really be given the benefit of the doubt by default. Especially if it was just a quick little investigation befor it's deemed a suicide and dropped.

Maybe this story affected my opinion.

When the police chief blasts his friend and covers it up how can you trust anything they say?

I've become much more cynical about the police since reading Min's "fucking cops" threads.

"Not everyone is convinced though."

So what?  Not everyone is convinced the moon landings were real. 

Some facts would be nice.

If it was the cops they'd have just shot him and claimed he was "resisting."  After they turned off their body cameras, that is.
