N.C. teen's hanging death ruled a suicide; mother says it was a lynching

So the entire purpose of the thread was to showcase a story about some kid whose death was ruled a suicide and his mother disagrees. No racial element at all.

Okay.

Then CNN went off the rails to imply racial elements throughout that entire article. There's obviously no racial element in this story. I wonder why the NAACP is involved in it. Apparently they're in the wrong place.

So it's just a thread about suicide that doesn't appear to the mother to be suicide. Sad, but hardly breaking news.
and yet another deflection. maybe you are confused . . .
what you are supposed to be doing is backing up the lie you posted, you have posted ZERO proof so far

here ill be more direct, lets see if you can either back up the lie you posted or show honesty and integrity in your next post, I bet you can't and or you dodge it again
answer this question yes or nor, anything besides yes or no is also a fail

Did i ever deny there could be racial aspects to the story? yes or no

So then there are racial elements in this story even though you made a bunch of huffy posts abut people who said "lynch" has a racial element and are constantly posting that it has origins not attributable to racism.

Okay. Never mind. Have fun.
 
So the title of the OP is wrong, and she didn't really say this was a lynching (which is a crime).

You quoted me, and it's in plain English, written coherently enough. Clearly by her own words she's UNCERTAIN. What she demands is a competent investigation - she doesn't demand they find the killers and convict them.

Let's put it this way - if I am certain my niece was murdered, I won't ask the police to "prove to me what happened" - I'll demand they find and convict the killer(s).

By the way, in the post of mine that you quoted, I never said anything about "racist white boys" so I have no idea why you put that in quotation marks as if I did. I used the word "crime".

In that paragraph I referred exclusively to the mother. First I quoted what SHE did say, then pointed out what she did NOT say, an obvious hypothetical. I have no idea how you can think I was quoting you there.

The OP says she "says lynching" so if CNN got it wrong, that's on them, not me.

Okay, thanks for pointing out the hypothetical, but it doesn't have anything to do with my post.

Translation: you are dodging the question and deflecting again
your post and your lie is destroyed and facts win again.
and thanks its always fun reading people deny facts and make stuff up, thanks for doing so.
 
Because the FBI is now involved, I hope there are answers soon. Meanwhile, after Googling around, it seems to me that there are many unanswered questions. The allegedly crack-addicted/prostitute girlfriend had just left her husband, so there is speculation that she knows more than she's yet said. Someone at the funeral home said that the lump on Lennon Lacy's head and facial "indentations" looked more like a bar fight than a hanging. And Lennon was wearing shoes that weren't his own. Very troubling.

No, it's okay. I like to understand what an OP's purpose is. You spent a portion of this thread giving us an etymology lesson in the origin of the word "lynching" (which was in the subject line). So now I understand the purpose of this thread. Not breaking news.

Maybe this would have been better served in the Academia section.

But have fun!

"Us"? Who's reading over your shoulder?

No lies from me. I admitted I had no idea what your purpose in starting this thread was. You say you never said it wasn't racist, even though you kept posting about how "lynch" doesn't have a racist origin (which I gather had no purpose). It was me just being confused about the purpose of your thread, which I admit to not really caring about anymore. It's no skin of my back that the thread had no clear purpose. I unfortunately expect breaking news threads to actually be news, which it doesn't appear this thread was.

Like I said, have fun with it! I'll look for some actual breaking news stories on here now if that's okay. You don't owe me an explanation why you started a thread that wasn't even breaking news.
 
If I was you, I'd give up. You're dealing with a guy who's 18 years old and thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything. You cleaned his clock in that discussion. He'll be on to some new cause next.

"18 years old"

False.

It isn't a lie, dear. I honestly had no idea what purpose this thread had. I got distracted by your grammar and etymology lessons.

lets reflect on the lie you posted.
"The OP tried to deny there was any racial aspects to this story. And we all know that's bull****."

this has nothing to do with thread "purpose" lol
moving the goal post wont change the fact that you posted a lie.
When you can support this lie or admit it your statement was in fact false please do so, thanks

I guess you didn't understand it the first half dozen or so times I posted it, so let's try again.

You repeatedly pointed out that the word "lynch" has nothing to do with race. I assumed you were doing it because you want to say that the word "lynch" in the headline had nothing to do with race. I happen to disagree with you that the link in the OP has nothing to do with race, which is the bull**** I was talking about.

So until you explained you weren't posting that "lynch" had nothing to do with race but instead you kept posting it because....well, I still don't know why you kept posting it actually, but it doesn't matter.

I didn't tell any lies, dear. I completely had no idea what your purpose in sharing this "breaking news" with the rest of us was. But if it makes your boat float screaming about this "lie" I never told, please continue with it. It's not important - just like it isn't important anymore what the thread purpose was. I'm looking for real news, not grammar lessons.

Have a great day and feel free to get in the last word - it looks like you need it more than I do. I don't care. Happy Friday!
 
Because its their opinion, just like its their opinion that he was murdered.

Doesn't that seem to you to be a weird opinion. Saying his shoes were not his, maybe but that the shoes were 2 sizes too small is a little specific. Somebody would have had to be very close to the body to see that before the shoes disappeared.

You don't seem to understand. When certain folks don't have a good way to rebut an argument or simply disagree with you but are too damned lazy to rebut the argument they choose to engage in a debate over semantics and call you a liar. It's a way of "winning" an argument without ever discussing the topic at hand.

When in grief, you will believe anything but the truth.

translation: you posted a lie, and still cant back up that lie so you continue to deflect.

the best part, EVEN if i chose to humor your deflection and dishonest back pedal I can always refer to post 34 waaaaaaaaaaay before the lynch topic really even came up. Post 34 was DIRECTLY to you and it said:

weird, can you point out where i said this story definitely has nothing to do with race? This COULD easily be a race related incident. :shrug:
I said the word LYNCH in itself has nothing to do with race, glad I could help clear up your mistake, you're welcome.

and now in post 189 you are claiming you still didn't know? Sorry that lie doesnt float. It sinks and fails just like your other lie.

Your post gets destroyed and facts win again. ANd thanks its always a great day catching posters lying. Happy Holidays!
