I once saw an old leather-bound book by Kipling that was decorated with gilded swastikas, made before Hitler turned it into a symbol of evil. (Kipling wrote The Jungle Book). :roll:


lol I know who Kipling is , I'm not an inbred.

Wrong.  Robert Fuller was found hanging from a tree on Wednesday, June 10; not today, June 15.  His death has also been officially ruled a homicide.


Wow.
It pays to read down before posting.
"Upstreaming" may not be a good idea. 8O


I tried searching for more information and can't find where it is ruled a homicide but I did read the FBI are involved.

I guess you're right about it's part of being a barbarian.

Lynchings. Obvi. And there’s been more of them reported across the USA from Atlanta to Manhattan. Gross.

Did they ever stop?
No. So what's surprising that they're still ongoing? Police don't care about dead or missing black or indigenous people.

Things are a lot better, here in Australia than in America, yes.

I just recently read an article about RCMP constables on the prairies doing what they referred to as “starlight tours,” in the 1990’s where they would drive a very intoxicated Indigenous man out of town and drop him off in the middle of nowhere and let him freeze to death overnight. NINETEEN 90’s!! That would have been bad enough for the 1890’s FFS.

I mean I had heard they were likely to be suicides, but I cannot say I know for sure...that is just what the news has reported, that they were both suspected as suicides and no evidence of fowl play has been found as of yet. I mean were they really suicides or is that just the first assumption...but no other facts have come about from the autopsy as of yet.

That might ruffle a few feathers.

One of the men is homeless, it would be easy to pin a lynching as suicide
