Delta State Police Chief Michael Peeler said there was also no evidence of an ongoing threat to students and faculty. He told reporters Monday the death investigation was being assisted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as well as local police and sheriff’s deputies.
Online rumors that the student was found with broken limbs were disputed by Bolivar County Coroner Randolph Seals Jr.
Novody cares, he wasn’t white.
A second hanging was found just after in a different part of Mississippi. This victim was white. Will be interesting to see if there’s interest. He was reportedly unhoused so another easy write off for the media.
Mississippi has a history of sweeping black murders under the rug.
Some trees in Mississippi have always grown hanging black people don’t you know?
What strange fruit those trees have,
Scrolled looking. Beat me to it.

Mississippi Goddamn.
Poor kid. Whether suicide or otherwise. A tragedy.
It’s Mississippi. It was a lynching, and like every lynching in the past, they’ve said “oh it must have been a suicide, we’ve got no evidence!”
Chances are, the people investigating them are friends with, or in fact are, the people that did it,
Still a fucking tragedy
Absolutely.
But it wasn’t a suicide. It was murder.
Lol make sure you believe the county coronor!! It’s a job you can get just by pretending to know things. There are literally no qualifications beyond being appointed. I bet that guy really knows his stuff.
some places theyre elected
Interesting
There was nobody around using bed sheets or burning crosses. Let’s not jump into conclusions.
This was in Cleveland, in the Mississippi Delta. For those who don’t know, the Mississippi Delta had some of the largest plantations in Mississippi and the racial and economic divide still very much holds up today. Plus Mississippi authorities are some of the most racist in the country, so no foul play my ass
Reddit bans all mention of that.
A black person hanging from a tree in Mississippi? Sure, it could be suicide, but c’mon. Let’s be real here. It’s on them to prove that this wasn’t a lynching.
Black people don’t hang themselves. To do so is to inflict the fear of a lynching on your loved ones and community. So if you hear that a black person committed suicide by hanging, assume lynching.
Accountability? For police? 😐
Sure, it could be suicide, but c’mon
I think a person killing themselves would probably not try to frame others for it. What, he thought it would be funny?
So yeah, no way in hell am I buying that this was a suicide.
Obligatory: Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday. Circa 1959.
So the police did it. Or someone related to the police.
Oh, ABC says that? The Nazi propaganda machine that just fired Jimmy Kimmel? Nothing to see here folks!
Police told his parents they found him dead in his bed, they found out from the news that he was hanged.
No foul play, my ass.
Let me guess, the police chief’s son is involved.
