Surveillance video dispels 'lynching' claims in death of black man

Suspicions of a possible racist lynching in the death of a black man found hung from a tree in Victorville, California, have been dispelled by a surveillance video proving he committed suicide.
38-year-old Malcolm Harsch was found dead on March 31 hanging from a tree near the Victorville library.
Owing to recent "Black Lives Matter" protests around the country, rumors of a racially motivated lynching began circulating in the community. Another black man was found hanging by a tree in nearby Palmdale.
On Friday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department played video for reporters proving that Harsch killed himself. In the video, according to the Press Enterprise, Harsch is seen wrapping a blue electronics cable around his neck and then tying it to a tree limb before killing himself.
Officials added that Harsch had been placed under suicide watch twice during bookings at San Bernardino County jails.
They also noted that Harsch, who was homeless, had gotten into an argument with his girlfriend in a nearby homeless encampment on that day over mutual infidelity.
KNBC-TV interviewed a man claiming to be Harsch's best friend who said that he couldn't imagine the man committing suicide. He did say that Harsch had been unhappy because he was going to miss the graduation of one of his eight children.
"We do believe that foul play was involved," said community activist Najee Ali on Monday. "We do believe that white nationalism, white racism, white supremacy is on the rise because of the rise of Black Lives Matter!"
After the family was shown the video on Friday, Ali had a much different statement to make.
"On behalf of the family of Malcolm Harsch unfortunately it seems he did take his own life," said Najee Ali.
"The Victorville Police Department officials released new video evidence to family members," Ali added. "The family wants to sincerely thank everyone for their support and prayers."

BLM race pimps swore this was a lynching too.
Time to go back inside and play video games young people. The KKK isn’t taking over the country.

When the recent hangings of black men are all proven to have been suicide, “white supremacy” will still be blamed as the reason they did it.

White supremacy has gotten so bad in this country that black men are now hanging themselves out of fear of being lynched.

???
The actual unfortunate part is that a man is dead.
For this race baiting lawyer, it is only unfortunate that there is no one to blame/sue.
Am I reading this correctly?

so much wrong in this story...
WTH? Was he married to any of the baby mammas?
Isn't that really the goal? Don't you evil pricks want a big bad white boogieman to add meaning to your pathetic lives???? If you know that the meaningless BLMMore movement is creating negative emotion and backlash, why keep antagonizing the bear?

The only group that ever hung black men were Democrats but now if you support BLM your donations go to, wait for it, Democrats.
Did I get that right?

Unfortunately?? Yes it;s unfortunately because he wasn't murdered???
It seems??? The video should show that it actually happened. I guess I am rweading too much into this.
God bless the man and his family.

Have I mentioned that LSU Athletics cowered and partnered with the BLM terroristic, racist, hate group?

Suicide? Baw, don't you know that's an "internalized lynching"?

Surely Najee Ali apologized for trying to stoke the flames of racial disharmony and blaming white people before all the facts were revealed.
I am certain Ali did so, because, you know, that's what decent people do. It must have accidentally been omitted from the article.
