Let me ask you this.

If a person commits suicide by hanging from a tree. You are suicidal and thinking about commiting suicide and see that in the news directly prior. COULD that influence your decision on how you commit suicide?

I am not saying it is not a lynching or whatever. I said we should wait for details to come out, like autopsies. You are jumping to a very racially charged view right off the bat, that may be ultimately correct or not. While Wang thought he was getting accurate news possibly, (which it was just not intent-wise), some of you are jumping to the opposite of initial reports off the bat because it is oddly... The news you want it to be.

Just wait and see. That's a very large assumption to make.

so let me get this straight. it's perfectly reasonable to assume that a random drunk man who stole a taser might be so violent as to hold up a car, steal it, and drive it into a family of four and kill them but believing that 5 black people found dead in a position that replicates lynching is likely to be actual lynching is jumping to conclusions.

It's weird how you're allowed to assume whatever you want about situations but no one who holds a different view than you is!
