This is very weird. Especially at this point in time in this country , Palmdale Calif. today black man found hung. In a tree. Previous weeks Victorville ,California, another Blackman found hung in a tree .
And. National Public radio is. Not willing to call it a homicide yet....? What the hec. This is the 21st century .
People from that area , particular Caucasian wannabe biker types are a nasty portion of the population out there.
People from that area have personally destroyed people’s lives have seen out t here , and known personally ..
Those are both Desert towns. Areas , generally more sparsely populated areas . Patrolled by Sheriffs. Whom,
Are very selective about how they choose to enforce laws .
Homicide or not ? Publicly hung people , what’s you thoughts?

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.

I did see something about this last week but didn't take much notice of it, thinking "no way, that can't possibly be true."

There was a story over here today of a black family waking up to find a swastika had been spray painted onto their garage door. Yesterday I saw a tweet of something purported to be a BLM leaflet instructing people to "Kill a white on sight" (most probably knocked up by somebody on the far right as a discredit/fear tactic), there was also a video on youtube of some black guys with a picture of Jesus with 666 below and they were using religious language to justify revenge on the white race and they had a white woman crawling around on the ground kissing their feet. I feel like there's a lot of people out there who are seeing this current situation as an opportunity to attempt to start a race war and sadly it appears that the media would only be happy to go along with it.
The hangings, if true, would be like a nuclear bomb going off, wouldn't it? Or would it be just so incredible that the media would have no choice but to underplay it.

The ignorance was strong in that vandal , he sprayed the swastika the wrong way round so it was a Buddhist swastika not even related to Nazi's :lol:

I knew that the swastika going the wrong way meant something else but not what exactly. Thanks for explaining the Buddhist point.

The Swastika was a European pre-Christian mythological symbol that meant good luck and had no racial conotations until it was hijacked by the Nazi's in the 1930's.

There was Indo-European mingling in India (hence the Indo in Indo-European)So it's no surprise the Swastika is also a symbol in Eastern religions as well.

The right facing swastika was also Buddhist / Hindu and as VermontSavant pointed out a European symbol of good luck but the Nazi's hijacked it and ruined the holy symbol for millions.

@ Tusken
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:

I think the hangings are lynchings. Reality is becoming stranger and stranger. Lynchings? Now?

Nope.
Lynchings aren't here.
"Speculation" of lynchings is. 8)

There are a lot of neanderthals in that movement, yes.
But that is part of being a barbarian, is it not? 8O

Wow.
It pays to read down before posting.
