This is a thread debunking the current & #39;5 Black Men Were Lynched& #39; hoax.
If anyone can provide any actual evidence to show a murder took place
(not & #39;I *feel* like it was a murder.& #39;
or
Tinfoil hat conspiracy theories)
please do.

The suicide of Malcolm Harsch was declared a & #39;lynching& #39; by social media but having seen video footage his family have said it was a suicide. According to conspiracy theorists the death was connected to Robert Fuller& #39;s cos both were in Southern California. http://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/us/malcolm-harsch-death-victorville.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/2...
Nothing suggests foul play in death of Robert Fuller. All signs point to suicide, including & #39;scars on his body consistent w/ previous attempts.& #39; Due to pressure & social media declaring it a murder(based on no evidence) they are investigating it further. https://nypost.com/2020/06/14/california-ag-to-probe-mans-hanging-as-protesters-question-police/">https://nypost.com/2020/06/1...
The medical examiner ruled Dominique Alexander& #39;s death a suicide. There were no signs of foul play. His family have not disputed the finding. https://nypost.com/2020/06/16/death-of-black-man-found-hanging-in-nyc-park-ruled-a-suicide/">https://nypost.com/2020/06/1...
In Houston, after reviewing surveillance footage, talking to neighbors, and other evidence, authorities determined the death of a black teen to be suicide. There were no signs of foul play. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Teen-Spring-elementary-school-suicide-hanging-15345917.php">https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/hous...
This death happened ONE YEAR ago but somehow gets added to this list. Otis & #39;TiTi& #39; Gulley was transgender, homeless, bi-polar, & schizophrenic. The family disputed the finding of suicide and police investigated. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2019/06/12/26628756/portland-police-ask-public-for-information-on-death-of-titi-gulley">https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/...
Initially on social media it was falsely claimed this death was of a black man who was & #39;lynched& #39;, he was in fact an Hispanic man. There were no signs of foul play & and his family say he was suicidal. https://abc13.com/hispanic-man-dead-an-in-shady-acres-suicide/6249385/">https://abc13.com/hispanic-...
People are linking these deaths because the deceased are black & they happened within 2 weeks(there are 123 suicides in the US per day) & & #39;black men don& #39;t hang themselves from trees& #39; but very clear cases that show that they do. Shame on ppl using these deaths to whip up hysteria.
2018, Danye Jones& #39; family posted photos of his body hanging from tree in yard saying he was lynched. Those claims went viral but it was ruled suicide, no signs of foul play. He txt his sister & #39;I& #39;m sorry& #39; before he died & was dealing w/ rumors he was gay. https://tinyurl.com/ybq345ey ">https://tinyurl.com/ybq345ey&...
Danye Jones death was linked to the & #39;Ferguson protesters are being killed& #39; conspiracy theory which if you dig into can see that it is exactly that, a conspiracy theory, based on nothing more than internet rumors, hearsay and conjecture. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/jul/25/facebook-posts/facebook-post-deaths-6-people-ferguson-stretches-w/">https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...
I& #39;m not going to do a thread on that I have tweeted about it before. The Politifact piece does a pretty good job at debunking it.
