"two men found hanging..."
Of course. You just knew this was coming.
Whether it's a suicide or something more sinister, I will bet everything I own that the media is going to use this to poke the hornet nest for sure.

so im not saying anything solid, but something smells a little fishy.
sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com...
may 31, a black man was found hanging from a tree, near a library. ruled a suicide. malcolm harsch, victorville, 38 y.o.
10 days later, one hour away, another black man was found hanging from a tree, near city hall. ruled suicide. robert fuller, palmdale, 24 y.o.
perhaps its the recent unrest helping me to read into things just a bit, but i find it odd that 2 young black men would hang themselves from trees to commit suicide based on the history of black men getting hung from trees. not to mention the public buildings right next to them.
seems like a lot of coincidence, or im just seeing things.
put this in the time capsule and hope a third doesnt show up.

Yes, definitely fishy for sure. How often are black men, or any man, found hanging from trees. Definitely something foul here.

Maybe they died for the cause or maybe the cause did it to perpetuate the cause.

The cause is definitely COVID-19.
But, this is something I'd expect to happen in one of the racist south. not really in a place like California, but Victorville and Palmdale? Not too many white people there. My ex-wife has family there, and when I visited a few times I was the only white guy I saw. Mostly Hispanics and black people.
So, I don't how this is going to get spun.
Terrible though. That's not right.
