This would be the first acknowledged US lynching since '81. 1981.
they'll call it a suicide and keep the last acknowledgement in the 80's.
Yup.
Dude had defensive wounds like bruises and a broken arm. Anyways, it’s definitely suicide, so we don’t have to look into it any further /s
Citation needed especially since the Coroner's department has specifically refuted this.
I think they were joking about that like people say someone committed suicide with two shots to the back of the head. But thanks for posting that article, it does say the coroner didn't find any evidence of assault so far.
Nah, there's a pile of misinformation circulating on social media claiming that the deceased had broken arms / legs / bruises / etc.
People unthinkingly gobble it up because it fits their world view. Farther down in the comments here you can find people already claiming that it's a cover-up / conspiracy because the Coroner's Statement (he's black BTW) doesn't jive with what they want to believe.
The comment you are referring to is unedited and ends with a /s Commonly used as a tag for sarcasm in case they thought someone may mistake it for being serious.
Maybe but let's wait for a reliable source before citing somethong transparently aligned, unqualified to know what a defensive wound looks like, and known for lying-like a coroner.
I genuinely cannot think of a less reliable source.
I really wish more people learned the lesson from Columbine where the media narrative from the start and the eventual FBI psych profile were at extreme odds with each other. Many crimes fit this mold where our initial impression is not what actually happened.
Well, cops said cops are innocent. Must be true.
That's not what was said. What they claim is that there are no defensive wounds. The police aren't suspected in this case at this time.
Right. Cops have declared themselves not suspects.
There’s no reason to suspect them
Of course. They declared they aren't suspects. I don't see what we disagree on here. Either you're being very irrational and looking for a fight or I'm being very stupid and missing something.
Well yeah. Look at people who try and fail to kill themselves. Usually no fresh defensive wounds. Clearly that's what they're always missing.
Would Epstein have been considered Lynched?
Would have to be acknowledged
There have been numerous apparent lynchings in recent years. But they always say “no foul play expected”
