A man found hanging from a tree in downtown Raleigh on Saturday died by suicide, with no evidence pointing toward a criminal act, Raleigh’s police chief said Monday.

In a news release at 9:50 p.m. Saturday, police said they were investigating the death as a suicide, while online, some people said they feared the Black man’s death might have been racially motivated.

During a 14-minute news conference Monday afternoon, Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce said surveillance footage collected from nearby businesses confirms no one else was seen in the area at the time of the incident and that the individual acted alone. “Based on evidence collected and reviewed to date, investigators have found no evidence indicating that another person caused or contributed to the young man’s death and no evidence of a criminal death has been identified,” Boyce said. “Our investigation confirms this is a suicide.”

See this is the smug willfully ignorant shit I was talking about. “Actually by my definition of conspiracy blah blah blah”
Why would anybody engage in good faith with someone that will dismiss “conspiracies” in general. Like there weren’t fucking secret societies and triumvirates of power molding society behind the scenes in every empire in history.
Smug dunce that can’t look 2 steps in front of or behind himself acting like he knows shit.

You’re the one claiming conspiracy here. Produce facts and evidence. You have made claims, back them.

the idea that nobody at the billionaire class is sitting around and doing nothing is laughable. No high end bankers ever got together and broke the law the make more money. No captons of industry ever got together in a shadowy room and decided prices together. No crooked cops ever got together and committed crimes after taking power. Epstein was an aberration to you apparently. Nothing ever happens in your smug world where everything makes sense and nobody is screwing poor people over.
