Police say man shot, then hung

[Sequoia]

Investigators in South Georgia are looking into the death of a Hispanic man found shot in the head and then hung from a tree with an electrical cord.

<snip> Sounds like a lynching to me. There's another story about about another one in another state today also.

1. The proper verb would be HANGED, dammit

:argh:

2. Gee..compared to the story itself that is of paramount concern

3. I know, but why should the English language become another victim?

n/t

4. re: "Hung": Unless you examine the body, who's to say? (NT)

(Yes, I'm dreadfully sorry this occurred and I know I shouldn't be
making light of it. But honestly, some things just fall in to the
"America is so fucked up I can't believe it" bin. And, anyway, in a
moment, someone will be along to tell us how "these things happen in
the North too, y'know!" and the thread will be doomed anyway.

12. Oooo, you are naughty! But seriously, I know where you're coming from,

sometimes a bit of black humor is the only antidote for an acute attack of screaming and meltdown.

However, the police initially ruled the death a suicide. :eyes:

8. Obviously suicide.

Or perhaps 'natural causes.'

9. i don't doubt it

latinos are becoming more populous in the south and there are many people there that DON'T like it, and don't mince words about it. i've heard their sentiments on other boards.
