Fuck. A black man was found lynched on a Mississippi campus today https://www.fox13memphis.com/education/delta-state-university-student-found-hanging-from-tree-no-foul-play-suspected-officials-say/article_f5278a0a-0b0f-47c6-b829-a8cffc78a75e.html

"No foul play suspected" what the fuck, what the fuck

@xyhhx @cwebber i think common policibg practice now is to always say that to try and quell vigilantism and panic, and possibly making it harder to find who did it

but they really suck at noticing when something is very obviously a hate crime and it’s exactly the wrong thing to say

A quote from someone (not verified) claiming to be the lynched student's cousin:

> "She said she seen the reports and it said that he was beaten and bruised. Both his arms were broken and he had a broken leg. I'm gonna let y'all do the math."
