Let’s not jump the gun on any rumors yet. Police, for what that’s worth, said there was no evidence of assault on Trey Reed’s body, though his family is rightfully seeking an independent autopsy report. And apparently the second hanging body was a 36-year-old white man.
Is the timing suspicious? Absolutely. Are the cops being cagey about it? Even if it’s still an ongoing investigation, yes. Although it is Mississippi. We’re not exactly expecting excellence from them.
My point being that we’re getting information at a slow trickle and we’ll have to fucking hound the media to keep these stories in the news cycle, so it’s going to be a good while before we have any idea what happened. Especially with all hands on deck dedicated to making sure everyone has a government-approved reaction to the somehow more important murder.

It’s worth approximately jack shit. The guys wearing the badges are the guys wearing the hoods. Mississippi pigs are covering up a lynching, plain and simple.
It’s not rumors, this is an extremely unusual method of suicide, especially for a black man.
It also happened twice in possibly the most racist state, on the same day
And the cops say there’s no foul play. Come on now, there’s jumping to conclusions, and then there’s situations so unlikely they require one hell of an explanation
It also happened previously in June in NY to a black man (tbh who I thought the meme was referencing), Earl Smith, 58, and was ruled a suicide, people didn’t believe it then either:
Personally, I’m with them, timing is extremely suspicious with police having a lot of their force dedicated to ICE efforts instead of investigation. They didn’t even catch CK’s shooter in Utah, with all those cameras etc - so NY and MS wouldn’t surprise me if they were also feeling the staff shortages.
Also since people have been talking about the most recent homeless mass shooting, there was actually one in June in North Portland, 3 separate events with no injuries and he was never caught. And there’s been a LOT of bodies showing up in Portland, especially in the water and highway guard rails.
Which would be about “nothing” without independent confirmation.
If you still have any trust in the press releases of American cops, let alone those of the worst of ALL states in 2025, you’re fucking delusional.
You’re right about not jumping to CONCLUSIONS, but you’re dead wrong about having even a modicum of trust in the statements of Mississippi cops before we reach any.
That’s why I mentioned that the family is rightfully seeking an independent autopsy report. And my whole last paragraph about how fucked up the whole situation is.
I’m just saying we can’t and shouldn’t be calling it a lynching yet, even if the signs are pointing in that direction. We should absolutely be raising questions and bullying the cops to an acceptable answer.

I think conservatives jacking off to Purge night stuff is behind this. There’s some creepy weirdos who feel like they’ve been let off leash.
This guy is the coroner, so it’s not a ole white boy club thing:
Not saying this isn’t all suspicious, just probably doesn’t play out how people had in mind.
You know black cops are a thing, right? And they’re often extremely racist against black people
It doesn’t matter what color the cop is, or that a coroner isn’t technically a cop. Institutional racism can be a hell of a thing
There’s no internal logic to racism, it’s just like how immigrants tend to be harsher on immigration
Which would be about “nothing” without independent confirmation.

Statements of the utterly deranged
Can’t it also be a suicide?
How come?
Basic situational understanding.
Your situational awareness is saying that there’s no way this could’ve been a suicide, even though suicide is unfortunately not rare
Use your fucking brain.

The standard of evidence for calling it a lynching outside of a court of law has been met IMO.
Let’s call a spade a spade.
Education is optional in Mississippi.
