Paul Allen10What the hell is wrong with the US, that you feel this way towards OTHERS, omg.
🌙Moon Wink✨6He and his accomplices cannot suffer enough for what they have done. Pls share this.
Madison4If he is the murderer, I hope he gets the death penalty by hanging.
💙Joani in the sky with cubic zirconia 💙4Black ppl do NOT commit suicide by hanging from a tree. That’s lynching which the KKK favors. We need to punish more of these people and ban the KKK AND the confederate flag and monuments! They were traitors.
therevlo.bsky.social2Why aren’t we calling this what it is? Because that would mean we haven’t made much progress. And why admit that when our egos are so fragile? #lynchingsstillhappen #blacklivesmatter
Luca Migo114Enough hypocrisy, those “mysterious hangings” surely look more like lynchings than anything else. Black lives matter! youtu.be/-DGY9HvChXk?...
Monica21It's about time, because we all know that Black people are not hanging themselves from trees. Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney said at a news conference Friday that police have arrested 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff. He went on to state that the two had an association, but wouldn't elaborate.

MisterJayEm3Christy Spivey, Fortune’s mother, said she did not know the man who had been arrested.
Authorities have made at least one arrest, and more warrants are expected, in the case of Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old mother found hanging from a tree in Jackson, Mississippi, last month.
The Emancipator3Her death has drawn “strange fruit” comparisons as details emerge in the ongoing investigation. Her mother, Christy Spivey, has insisted: “She did not do this to herself."
packdog430.bsky.social1There is no rationale to any black person in the south, especially,committing suicide by hanging of all things. There needs to be many more cases revisited these past few years and independent autopsies.
Betsy Cazden1This is good news, and completely due to activists, family members, and organizations like yours pushing back hard on the official "suicide" claims for all these hangings. Thank you, and keep pushing. #StopTheLynchings #StrangeFruit
