We got white people pissed off about wearing masks, egg mcmuffins and maple syrup. Meanwhile, in the past two weeks, six black men were found hanged in a tree, in a public space, yet the authorities claim all six as suicides...

(65,168 posts)Less than 7 in 30. #2 after guns.
But now, 6 in 2 weeks all by the same method, in a public place.
Not in a basement, or closet. Not in a tree in one's own backyard. A public place. Psychologists say that's 1 in 6.
So, 23% of 17% is under 4%.
6 cases in two weeks, all young black men, commit suicide by hanging in a public place.
6 in 2 weeks when the probability of this situation is one in 26!
I fear not only too many cops are violent punks, but I also don't think they could catch a cold in a kindergarten class.

(2,597 posts)Not many people end their lives by placing a noose or a cord around their necks and throw it over the branch of a tree. In fact, I'd say there are probably less than .03% who do this - or, historically, have done this. There are many factors that contribute to an individual deciding to kill themselves, but one thing is a fact: there is always a sense of shame within the individual who does and they may choose this end for themselves, but most who do it find privacy. They do NOT head out to find the most public place to display their corpses for all to see.
These young men were lynched. Murdered. And displayed like others before them. I hope they catch the people who've done this and flay everyone of them.
And you can bet there is video
