So a black man hanging himself:

(A) Hate crime
(B) Black on Black crime
(C) White man's fault he killed himself
(D) No way a black man would kill himself, has to be a lynching from the white man

Thursday on social media, the story of a body found hanging from a tree in Piedmont Park started circulating. Twitter users expressed outrage, some calling it “another modern-day lynching.”

Atlanta police say that is not the situation at all, confirming the body found was the victim of a suicide.

Officers were called to the Charles Allen entrance of the park just before 5 a.m. and discovered a man’s body hanging from a tree by a rope, spokesman Donald Hannah said.

Emergency officials arrived on the scene and pronounced the man dead, Hannah said.

“There were no discernible signs of a struggle or foul play,” Hannah said. A “Fulton County medical examiner concurred that the death was consistent with a suicide.”

The investigation is ongoing. An autopsy will be performed to determine the final cause and manner of death.

The man’s name has not been released.

Is Gore the cop that broke the guys hand in like 5 places detained him for a few hours , then drove him home before getting off shift. Then did not report it, victim called to ask who to send the bill to for compensation two weeks later , and he lied to his superiors initially when questioned? IIRC, please clarify if any of that is wrong.

I have seen it. I love that the left concedes no known motive at this time in Orlando and at Ft Hood, but everyone knows the motive and if you don't you're just ignorant when a black man dies. The right pushing motive is no better in these cases, I just ask if you are going to be mad about something go off the known facts. Don't create a narrative regardless of evidence or prior to anything coming to light and immediately appropriate it as either being your pre-conceived notion or a lie.

Suicide isn't a black thing normally

The ignorance on Twitter is astounding. So many agendas and narratives in place before any facts are even thrown out there.

The quick to judge Twitter world has told me that this was a popular KKK hangout spot. The KKK was seen there before the hanging. Blacks don't hang themselves. Sandra Bland didn't hang herself. Etc etc

Just wonderful

Cops, All the news stations, and every other paper but AJC are all in on the cover up.

They under attack, it's a war on Black people.



Man, the ignorance on twitter gives me no hope for this country after i'm dead.

Atlanta media doing no favors for people with common sense.

Still only AJC with blurb about hanging, so naturally the baiters are pushing a lynching. And it's #1 on trending.

This shite would be over if Cops came out and said, this guy, who is homeless and has a history of mental illness hung himself. Then it's over.

Nope, stirring it up, and a lot of threats of violence to White people being made.

I've seen people say that Piedmont Park is a popular KKK meet up place. Those people have, clearly, never been to Atlanta. Piedmont Park is in the middle of the most progressive area of the city. Mostly gay people and young professionals.
