1. They are saying this was a likely suicide

7. I doubt it seriously.
They first claimed Lennon Lacy was also a suicide.
It was a lynching.
ALL lynchings were considered suicides in the past.

10. I'm searching for verification that Lennon Lacy was a lynching--other than peoples' opinions
The case is fairly recent. Has it been closed?

30. Get over yourself.
Read up on this guy.
I know it must be hard for you since you immediately said it was a lynching BEFORE anything was known.
But it wasn't a lynching. Men of this age (and women) commit suicide at quite a high rate. Google it.
This was NOT a lynching.
Sad that you actually want it to be one. That is really scary to me.

9. He murdered the mother of a Republican congressional candidate. Memories are long for that sort of thing. I certainly wouldn't rule out revenge. Black men in MS have been hanged for much, much less than that.
I am seriously waiting for someone to say Bush did it.

28. I don't think it is distasteful to mention it--it could be the reason he's dead.
He killed a woman during a robbery--and apparently her son was a Republican. It could be a key part of the investigation. I am not "making any leaps" but that doesn't seem entirely inconsequential.
Now, it could also be that he couldn't find steady work after getting released from prison, and that made him depressed. Maybe he DID kill himself. He wasn't bound like a typical victim of lynching. Was there a note? FBI and state investigators aren't saying.
Or maybe someone else, for some entirely separate reason, killed him and used the bed sheet to "string him up" for effect? Sick people do sick things.
This is an unusual death and it is being investigated in deliberate fashion--and that's a good thing. I'm not going to jump to conclusions just yet.

8. Looks like a newspaper headline from 1930.
The dead man is being "Trevoned" just like Michael Brown was.

16. A Lot of People Commit Suicide......
...But a black man from a tree? From the south?
Nothing to see here, yadda.... He did commit a bad
thing, but was the tree symbolism by himself or revenge by others?

Probably the work of Zimmerman and Wilson, under direct orders from Bush and Reagan.

37. I don't think anyone is "hoping and praying" that this was a hate crime.
It's just that the image of a black man hanging from a tree in the deep South is horrifyingly evocative of America's shameful history in this regard. This needs to be thoroughly investigated, and not just by the locals.
America's shameful history? No DUmmy, don't try to lay the blame on all of America for black lynchings, it is 100% a democrat thing. Democrats need to take responsibility for their party's shameful past.
The Klu Klux Klan was created by the Democrats for the express reason of terrorizing blacks and Republicans in the South to prevent them from voting, and that every known Klansman that were members of Congress have been Democrats.
…imagine if you will, what a far different nation the United States would be had not the Republicans been around to block the Democrats’ efforts.

Back in the day, about 30% of lynching victims were white, 70% black.
Even today, what percentage of murders and rapes are committed by black criminals?
But now lynching is defined by leftist history as a crime that was exclusively committed against innocent black folks.

In some counties, Whites being lynched outnumbered Blacks.

The libs became tired of screwing over their minions one at a time.
They graduated from lynching to grubering.
