4 hangings (suicide or not) in a couple days and no news media will touch this?

Regrettably, there are over a hundred suicides in this country every day.

I'm gonna venture a guess that hanging isn't a popular method of suicide among black people who have committed suicide.

I watched it, you were right

Was this a thing before the riots? Black people comitting suicide by hanging? Or is this a thing post riots?
Not at this frequency. There would maybe be one or two stories to come out every year but 4 in two weeks is concerning.

Because it's dangerous on two fronts. Suicide to a certain extent is contagious. You have to take care when you report on it to make sure you dont create copycats.

Additionally this is a really sensitive time and putting out a sensationalist "they are lynching black people all over america" headline without any proof could actually inflame race relations for no reason. There are countless examples around the world of race riots starting from false rumors.

Strangulation and suffocation are lumped together, but it it is the second most common method.

I really hope these aren't what they look like because if they are, we're going back down a dark path in this country. Hold onto your butts because we'll be relying on the Trump administration to investigate these if it goes that direction.

People warned voters in 2016 this wild happen if they supported a guy with a platform based around race, but they didnt listen and voted for him anyway

Look at the hyper emotional and totally irrational responses I got for even suggesting that we should reserve judgement until these cases are investigated further.

Since when are news media responsible? They goad everything they can to cause chaos and get ratings. They jump to minority mad did bad thing! News with glee every time

Yeah, but there are ways to strangle or suffocate yourself without hanging yourself.

Also, I'd venture to guess that lynching involved hanging people from trees way more often than black people committing suicide by hanging.

Maybe. I have no idea how often it happens. Suicides dont get reported on, generally speaking. The data is tricky also. But if I had to guesstimate, Id say about two black men commit suicide by strangling/suffocation every day.

Theres not really much else I can do with the information I have.

Public hanging is another thing entirely. Suicide is generally a very private affair.

Yeah thats the kind of data I dont have. Suicide committed in a public area vs a private one. Could you point me in the right direction? I assume the cdc has that kind of data but I havent found it yet.

I'm not finding it either, though I'll let you know if I do. It's alarming just how much info we don't have, and how I'm only realizing it because we're halfway to the fucking apocalypse.

Yeah, all kinds of depressing data. It just occurred to me that based on the averages, six people in this country have committed suicide since this topic was started.

From the video it looks like he's hanging from his belt at shoulder level. I don't want to make light of racial violence or the unsettling coincidence of these hangings in the past couple weeks, but it would be really difficult to lynch someone like that without signs of a struggle.

Could be legit murders and made to look like it was from a lynching as a cover.

Hell all kinds of people have been shot, stabbed, injured, killed and gone missing around my area in the last week and they have nothing to do with the protests and riots.
