This becomes even more suspicious when we note a second similar
recent death in the same region:

[quote]In neighboring San Bernardino County, authorities there
said they were still investigating the cause of death of
38-year-old Malcolm Harsch, whose body was found hanging in a
tree near the Victorville city library. A sheriff’s spokeswoman,
Jodi Miller, told Victor Valley News foul play was not suspected
in Harsch’s death but the man’s family said they were concerned
it will be ruled a suicide to avoid further attention.
In a statement to the publication on Saturday, the family said a
few people who were at the scene told them there was blood on
his shirt but no indication of a struggle. They said Harsch
didn’t seem to be depressed and had recent conversations with
his children about seeing them soon.
“The explanation of suicide does not seem plausible,” the
statement said. “There are many ways to die but considering the
current racial tension, a black man hanging himself from a tree
definitely doesn’t sit well with us right now. We want justice
not comfortable excuses.”[/quote]
A serial lyncher?

[quote]As protests against police brutality and racist violence
have rocked the country over the past month, the deaths of four
Black men by hanging has put Black Americans on edge, raising
ugly reminders of the lynchings that terrorized
African-Americans during Jim Crow and the civil rights era.
Robert Fuller, 24, was found hanging from a tree in a public
square in the early morning of June 10 in Palmdale, Calif., a
city 60 miles north of Los Angeles with a population of 156,000.
His death was initially ruled a suicide by county officials, but
the investigation has been reopened in response to demands by
hundreds of protesters.
“We want to find out the truth of what really happened.
Everything that they’ve been telling us has not been right,”
Diamond Alexander, Fuller’s sister, told the Los Angeles Times.
“My brother was not suicidal. My brother was a survivor.”
Last week, officials announced that the finding of suicide had
been rescinded.
...
Suspicion about Fuller’s death was heightened when his
half-brother, Terron Boone, was killed by sheriffs’ deputies in
what police described as a wild shootout exactly one week later.
Authorities have not established a connection between the two
incidents. In addition to the local investigation, federal
authorities and the state attorney general’s office also
announced they would be looking into Fuller’s death.
But Fuller isn’t the only Black man who’s been found hanging in
a public place in the past few weeks. A Black teenager in Texas
and a 27-year-old Black man in a New York City park were also
found hanging this month.
...
There is a long history of investigations into the deaths of
Black Americans being peremptorily closed by findings of suicide
and never properly investigated. Writing in the Washington Post,
author Stacey Patton noted a number of examples, including the
case of Ab Young, a Mississippi man who was lynched in 1935.
“He fled to Tennessee and was captured by a mob that dragged him
back to Mississippi, where he was hanged in a schoolyard, his
body peppered with bullets,” wrote Patton. “Though his lynching
was advertised in advance, a reporter and photographer showed up
to document the event and nearly 50 people were involved, a
coroner’s jury ruled that Young’s death was a suicide.”
...
There have also been investigations launched into the appearance
of nooses across the country. On Sunday evening, one was
discovered in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace, the only
African-American driver in the top tier of the NASCAR circuit.
...
Nooses were also discovered in Oakland and Harlem this month.
After Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf ordered a hate crime
investigation into the nooses, an effigy was found hanging in
the same area. Schaaf called it “a deliberate and vile attempt
to traumatize and divide Oaklanders.”
The incidents renewed speculation that followed the deaths of a
number of activists who were involved with the 2014 protests in
Ferguson, Mo. Two men were found shot in burned-out cars, three
died of apparent suicides and one died of an overdose. Danye
Jones, the 24-year-old son of organizer Melissa McKinnies, was
found hanging from a tree in her yard in the fall of 2018. While
a medical examiner ruled the death a suicide, McKinnies posted
to Facebook that “they lynched my baby” and has maintained that
her son was murdered.
“My husband, who is ex-military, and my brother both carefully
examined the knots in the sheet, which they described as
‘intricate Navy knots,’ something Danye would never have known
how to tie since he was never in the military or even the Boy
Scouts,” McKinnies said last year. “If you were going to kill
yourself, would you create these challenging knots? Plus, it was
not a sheet from our home.”
Black leaders and organizations have called into question the
legitimacy of suicide determinations by law enforcement before.
In 2014, the North Carolina branch of the NAACP questioned the
suicide ruling in the death of Lennon Lacy, a Black 17-year-old
who was found hanging from a swing set in a largely white
trailer park. The chapter handed the federal prosecutor a letter
formally asking the FBI to join the investigation, raising
questions about “quick call” suicides in which “suspicious
deaths of black men are quickly classified as ‘suicides.’”
Nicholas Creary, associate director of the Center for Diversity
& Enrichment at the University of Iowa, questions law
enforcement’s recent suicide declarations, as the incidents
suggest examples of modern-day lynchings.
“This does not seem like anything new,” Creary told Yahoo News.
“It’s sort of a contemporary twist on a very old tradition of
lynching.”
Creary added that through his previous research following
lynchings in the past, there would be a formal inquest to
determine the cause of death, which almost inevitably ended with
the finding of suicide, or “this person met his death at the
hands of parties unknown.” The most recent hangings align with
these findings.
The family of a transgender woman, Titi Gulley, also believes
that Portland, Ore., police dismissed her death because they saw
little value in the body of a Black, queer, homeless person. Her
body was found hanging from a tree in Rocky Butte Park on the
afternoon of May 27, 2019. The Portland Police Bureau ruled the
death of Gulley, 31, a suicide. Her family insists the police
never considered any other possibility.
“[The police] didn’t ask any questions,” Kenya Robinson, the
mother of the victim, who was named Otis Gulley at birth, told
the Portland Mercury. “You saw a Black man in a tree who was in
a homeless camp, and you wrote him off as being a transient
homeless, and wrote it off as a suicide.”
This case has now been reopened after Gulley’s family presented
evidence they collected showing that there may have been foul
play involved.
...
The number of hanging deaths by Black men doesn’t quite add up
for Burkhalter.
“I’ll be frank, Black people very rarely go out and hang
themselves publicly,”[/quote]
What is really going on?
Further context:
www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/22/black-victims-hanging-
suicide/
[quote]Police say deaths of black people by hanging are
suicides. Many black people aren’t so sure.
Even the official cause echoes the history of the lynching era
The historical seasons have changed, and once again, America’s
trees are bearing a strange and bitter fruit — dead black
bodies.
In less than one month, six black people have been found hanging
from trees, in California, Georgia, New York, Oregon and Texas.
Authorities say that all of these deaths appear to be suicides,
with no signs of foul play. But family members of the deceased,
protesters and activists, and some scholars of anti-black
violence are intuitively suspicious about those conclusions.
Rumors are also swirling on social media that these deaths are
lynchings, with Twitter users saying things like: “With sound
body and mind, I’m here to tell you right now, if my body is
found hanging from a tree, I did NOT commit suicide, I was
murdered.”
These incidents are happening at a time of nationwide racial
upheaval — when people are already on edge and suspicious about
police accounts of their encounters with black people. Tree
hangings evoke traumatic memories of America’s grisly history of
unpunished lynchings of thousands of black adults and children
between 1880 and 1968.
...
So it is quite difficult for many black folks to believe that
within a matter of weeks, six black people chose to hang
themselves by the neck, in public, from trees, while the fire of
racial politics continues to blaze.
Kenya Robinson, the mother of Otis/Titi Gulley, 31, who was
found hanging from a tree in Rocky Butte Park in Portland, Ore.,
on May 27, says she believes her son, who used the pronoun
“she,” was murdered. Robinson says Portland police didn’t ask
any questions about Gulley’s death and have treated her concerns
with indifference.
“You saw a black man in a tree who was in a homeless camp, and
you wrote him off as being a transient homeless, and wrote it
off as suicide,” Robinson told the Portland Mercury. She had to
demand an autopsy, which ultimately ruled Gulley’s death a
suicide. She also reportedly told police that other homeless
people said they witnessed Gulley being murdered and hung to
make it look like a suicide, and that someone has video
evidence.
The families of Malcolm Harsch and Robert Fuller, who were found
hanging from trees in Southern California within 10 days and 50
miles of each other, are also denying police claims that the
deaths were suicides. (On social media, attention is also
focusing on the fact that Fuller’s brother, Terron Jammal Boone,
was killed in a shootout with sheriff’s deputies in Los Angeles
County last week.)
The historical context is impossible to overlook as the number
of similar deaths increases.
“The numerous accounts of a deceased black man found hanging in
a tree are a horrific reminder of our country’s history. We are
in a moment with parallels to the era of lynching that should
cause us great suspicion of any rush to label the cases as
suicide,” says Thomas Foster, author of “Rethinking Rufus:
Sexual Violations of Enslaved Men” and a professor of history at
Howard University.
During the lynching era, it was not uncommon for the deaths of
black men to be ruled as suicides to cover up murders by white
mobs and police officers. The Civil Rights and Restorative
Justice Project, based at Northeastern University, has been
compiling a database of lynchings and other forms of anti-black
murder. Jay Driskell, a consulting historian for the project,
says the trend of declaring black lynchings to be suicides
stretches back to the 1930s. So far, he’s found around two dozen
cases from 1930 to 1956; in each case, a public figure, police
officer, coroner or jury deemed the deaths to be suicides and
not lynchings or extralegal murders.
There was Ab Young, a farm laborer from Slayden, Miss., who was
killed on March 12, 1935, after being accused of killing a state
highway worker. He fled to Tennessee and was captured by a mob
that dragged him back to Mississippi, where he was hanged in a
schoolyard, his body peppered with bullets. Though his lynching
was advertised in advance, a reporter and photographer showed up
to document the event and nearly 50 people were involved, a
coroner’s jury ruled that Young’s death was a suicide.
“One of the first ways that lynchers and police who murdered
blacks got exonerated was through the coroner,” Driskell says.
Back then, coroners did not have to have medical training. “Once
in a while, they would use suicide as a way to not do their job,
to cover up for police officers they knew or community members
they wanted to protect from prosecution.”
A few years after Young’s murder, the 19-year-old soldier Felix
Hall went missing from his barracks at Fort Benning, Ga. On
March 28, 1941, his body was found hanging over a ravine in the
woods on the base. His hands and legs were tied behind his back
with a wire. The NAACP tried to get the Department of War to
investigate, but military officials said that death was a
suicide even though a military doctor who had examined Hall’s
body within two weeks of when it was found had said it was a
homicide and put that on his death certificate.
James Johnson was beaten to death in a jail in Florence, S.C.,
on Dec. 5, 1939, after being pulled over by police around 2:30
a.m. Johnson had a good amount of lumber in his car, and
officers suspected he had stolen it. Johnson struggled
physically with police during his arrest. Once in his cell, a
14-year-old boy who was in custody witnessed the arresting
officers beat Johnson and use one of his shoestrings to hang
him. But despite the wounds on his head and bruises on his body,
the coroner’s jury exonerated the officers by stating that “ ‘he
butted his head deliberately against the bars of the cell. He
cut himself from the glass of a broken milk bottle and tried to
drown himself in a toilet on the cell block,’ ” Driskell says,
reading from the file. “Even though the coroner says that the
blow to his head from police could have been the one that killed
him, the jury chose to believe that Johnson hung himself from a
shoestring. The jury basically made up a story that this guy is
crazy, suicidal and does all this damage to his body before
killing himself.”
In perhaps the most bizarre case, Shadrack Thompson was found
hanging on Sept. 15, 1932, in Linden, Va., after being accused
of attacking a white farmer and his wife. Thompson vanished, and
his body was found two months later. He was burned; dismembered
body parts had been distributed to members of the community as
celebratory souvenirs, and his head was put on display 25 miles
away, in Warrenton. The official verdict on Thompson’s death was
suicide.
There’s no way to know how black family members reacted to those
murders that took place so long ago, Driskell says, because
their voices are lost to history and don’t show up in records
from the NAACP or the Department of Justice investigations. But
“there’s a whole world of rumors of lynchings that are hard to
dispel because so many of them occurred well beyond the range of
news reporters or police records. Lynchings were a shared
communal terror that got passed down from generation to
generation like a bruise on a memory.”
That’s why the current deaths are unsettling — even though
police say they’re not suspicious.
“The evidence is overwhelming,” says civil rights activist and
theologian Ruby Sales, who ticks off the names of other recent
cases authorities ruled to be suicides that she has investigated
since 2008: Billy Joe Johnson, Chavis Carter, Roosevelt
Champion, Lennon Lacy, Denzel Curnell, Kendrick Johnson, whose
organs were missing, Kindra Chapman, and Wakiesha Wilson and
other black women from Birmingham to California who allegedly
hanged themselves in jail cells.
Of course, given the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting
economic disaster, it is possible that rates of suicide have
spiked. The pandemic has also brought massive economic
dislocations in black communities — which were already in dire
straits financially. “So it’s not outside the realm of
possibility,” Driskell says. “But it’s plausible that some, if
not all, are contemporary lynchings.”
These recent incidents do follow the historical pattern of
displaying black bodies publicly to intimidate black
communities. “Think of Michael Brown, whose body was left on the
street for four hours as evidence of black people’s
powerlessness. The spectacle of displaying the black corpse is
meant as a deterrent to political action and resistance,” says
Tommy Curry, author of “The Man-Not” and professor of philosophy
and black male studies at the University of Edinburgh. “It says
to the subjugated population that we can kill your men without
consequence so your cause, your resistance, your attempt to
overthrow the current rule is futile.”
The days when hundreds or thousands of white people show up to
witness the barbaric torture and killing of black people at
lynchings are over, Driskell says. But as the resurgent Black
Lives Matter movement has taken off, there’s also growing
resentment from members of angry white supremacist fringe
groups, some of them with badges. There’s bound to be violent
reactions.
Congress is still considering bipartisan legislation that would
make lynching a federal crime — but it can’t even act on this
largely symbolic move because Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has argued
that the language in the bill is too broad and the law may be
wrongfully applied.
No wonder black communities are skeptical of the official story,
after centuries of ongoing racist terrorism and government
failure to prosecute our serial murderers. Here in 2020, those
pastoral scenes of the gallant South are still with us. Black
bodies are a strange and bitter crop.[/quote]

group to improve black maternal health, said the figures were
not a surprise. “We know that these numbers have been higher for
black women and their babies for decades now, that’s why it’s

[quote]Clotilde Rebecca Abe, also a co-founder of Five X More,

issue. I want to know, in terms of stillbirth, why are black
babies dying more? And what are the causes behind it? Are black
babies dying from the same thing that white babies are dying
from? What are the causes of this?
“Should we be looking at the mother’s history and the mother as
well? Is it because black women aren’t being listened to? So
when they say reduced foetal movements and things should be
done, is it not getting done on time? Are they having traumatic
births? Is it because they are having rushed C-sections? What is
the issue that is affecting the child? Is it a condition that
the mother had that went undiagnosed during a pregnancy? What
exactly is it?”[/quote]

[quote]A Man Who Allegedly Shot An Unarmed Black Airbnb Guest
Who Was Crossing The Street Said “Oh, You Think You Can Run?”
Before Firing His Weapon
...
During a preliminary hearing, San Jose police Det. Jessica
Lindenberg testified that the victim, who survived the shooting,
told her in an interview that he was staying at an Airbnb across
the street from 67-year-old Mark Waters’s home on Oct. 2, 2022,
when he left the rental to go to a nearby Safeway for food
around 11 p.m. As he was crossing the street to get onto the
sidewalk, the victim, identified as El’hajj Bullock, said he saw
Waters exit his house with a gun in his hand.
“[Bullock] believed in that moment that he was being robbed,”
Lindenberg said, adding that Bullock said he put his hands up to
show they were empty “and said something along the lines of, ‘I
don’t have anything.’”
Lindenberg testified that Bullock said Waters then pulled the
gun up and pointed it at his chest. At that point, Bullock
turned around and started to run away from Waters.
As he was running, Bullock said, he heard Waters say, “Oh, you
think you can run?,” heard the sound of a gunshot, and then fell
to the ground as he felt pain in his right leg.
Bullock was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent
surgery to repair a broken femur, according to Santa Clara
County Deputy District Attorney Aidan Welsh. As a result of the
shooting, Bullock was still experiencing pain and relying on
crutches and a wheelchair to get around two months later,
Lindenberg testified.
