    Well, if I was assessing odds: really pissed off confederate-flag-waving white guys would be a better bet than random suicides by tree hanging, but would like to know more about why they are concluding suicide.

    It's very odd.

    Why are black men all of a sudden using a tree to commit suicide? If this was some sort of protest there would be a statement. If it was a suicide, why do it out in the open? And why a lynching and not a gun? If this was foul play why aren't there any signs of foul play.

    This makes so little sense.

    How would they coordinate the medical examiners ruling them suicides? If it was a terrorist action they'd want them to be murders.

    Very messed up situation.

    Number of suicides........number of public lynchings.


    Sheriff’s dispatch received a 911 call from a female saying her boyfriend hanged himself.
    Sheriff’s Department personnel at the scene, including the coroner investigator, did not recover any evidence to suggest foul play.


    I think some people don't exactly understand odds.

    A coordinated attempt to frame murders as suicides. Not all terrorists want to be caught.

    Definition of terrorist, to be clear
    The political aim of course would be - f*ck off black people.

    Are there some drugs that can knock people out that wouldn't show up in the blood? How about chloroform how easy is it to identify if that's been used on someone?

    It's a bit odd for 4 black people to hang themselves from trees all within weeks of each other and after George Floyd's death.

    I guess deserves reposting. Haven’t seen the reporting on this yet but would like to read it.

    And I’m about as versed as one can get in probability, but carry on, my angry sons. There’ll be peace when you are done.

    B-Bob sure does like to go on talking about his ignore list. What is the probability he is ignoring his list and reading all posts? Sad

    ok, I can see this but still don't think it's open and shut.

    Let's say we give you this one. It still doesn't account for the others. I would need to see that this is more common than we think but just never heard about them before.

    Most people commit suicide in a more private manner. I find it hard to believe that these suicidal people were ready to make political statements on their way out.

    I have not read the thread. A black man was found hanging by my job near ella and 610. A customer told a few hours ago. Police are still here.

    not really

    I gave you this one for arguments sake

    Girlfriend called it in

    I'm talking about the other three "suicides" listed in this thread.

    A one off is totally within the realm of possibility. 4 in public by a tree branch is more than eye raising.

    I'm not jumping to conclusions, just saying it's really suspect but I'm willing to see the evidence first.

    I'm not a suicide expert.

    something smells fishy for real

    could be a string of very bizarre suicides, but I’m gonna need some immediate snooping around white supremacist, 4chan, and alt right groups online by investigators to see if anything pops up

    Because I can't seem to get my comment outside of the comment I'm replying to, here goes again...

    People do not hang themselves from public trees unless they're hoping to be found before they die. People do hang others from public trees if they're hoping the bodies will be discovered after they've died.

    I guess 5 men in one week decided to lynch themselves. That's, um, new.

    But if 5 Black men in one week--during BLM protests--decide to hang themselves from public trees, it doesn't feel very odd? Occam's razor, dude.

    We have a long history of lynchings in America.

    We have zero instances of 5 Black men hanging themselves to death on public trees. Ever.
