Authorities are investigating the death of a Ferguson protester’s son as a suicide, although a message on social media posted by his mother has sparked assertions that it was a lynching.
Melissa McKinnies, who was active in the St. Louis suburb after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in 2014, posted the Facebook message, saying “They lynched my baby.”
The message, which Facebook later removed, began trending on social media sites such as Twitter and Reddit, causing people online and in the community to press officials for more answers about the death of 24-year-old Danye Jones. His body was found Oct. 17 near the north St. Louis County home he and his mother shared.
St. Louis County police spokesman Shawn McGuire said Wednesday that Jones’ body was found in a wooded area behind the home. A police report lists “suicide” as the nature of the investigation. …

What grief does to some people
It amazes me that the media has never acknowledged the proven facts of the micheal brown case. The kid whent through the driver’s side window of the police cruser and tried to gab the cops gun. The gun was even discharged, striking brown in the hand and the bullet lodged in the inside of the car door. That caused brown to run off, the cop got out and pursued him. The cop ordered brown to stop, brown turned around and then charged the officer and was killed. Those are the proven facts, yet the media still is claiming “hands up, don’t shoot”. That should be criminal IMHO.
Maybe he was indeed "lynched"... perhaps he was involved with some bad hombres and things went south... who knows.
No one uses words for their actual meanings anymore.
Speaking of actual meanings, the name “Lynch” comes from an old Gaelic word (possibly Norman-influenced) meaning a mariner.
Liberals, including and especially the media, can NEVER admit they were wrong about anything. It is one of their defining traits.
I’m surprised she didn’t blame it on Trump!
The media deliberately misinforms.
:-/
“I’m surprised she didn’t blame it on Trump!”
The left will use this “lynching” as a campaign issue to bring out the black vote.
That’s like saying one who eats his gun has died from a shooting...they need to make it illegal for Blacks to lynch themselves ...the Dems are right on it.
Of course the fact the man was out robbing a convenient store unwilling to walk on the side walk and tried to drag a police officer out of his car by brute force had nothing to do with his untimely death
The ranks of the Ferguson protesters was riddled with street criminals and violent agitators, some local, some imported by the leftist and anarchist groups that desperately wanted to incite street violence for political reasons. The fact that some of them eventually die from other than natural causes is not surprising in the least.
yellow journalism was uncovered long long ago in the press
Page 75 of Eric Holders report was clear that he was not shot in the back. (Maybe it was page 65...its been awhile.)
Given the left’s tendency to project, she would now become my number one suspect.
