“Brame said his office is waiting for the toxicology report to come back, which could take a little longer.
"We’re going down every avenue, every aspect of all the information. “
Could this be translated as: we are looking for any excuse to not label this what it really is 🤔

Potentially but it’s important that the case is fully investigated either way. If they’re transparent about everything it will help the misinformation wave that is already out there. The sheriff should not have said that it wasn’t a lynching outright they should’ve only said that it was under investigation and conclusions will be drawn based on the evidence.
In a perfect world, yes but we don’t live in a perfect world. People’s herd or mob mentality makes it very difficult to stop the stampede once it’s started. Especially if they do have evidence that contradicts a lynching that they don’t want public at this time. Oof course this being the South, that is probably giving the cops too much credit.
That’s all people want. “We are investigating the possibility. We are taking this seriously.”
They used the excuse of “covid restrictions”?? In North Carolina??? Something is real fucky.
God, I hope this poor family gets justice.
If true crime podcasts are anything to go off, we know police in the south overall do very poor jobs investigating deaths.
The Wade Wilson investigation is a testament to that. Listening to the investigation and the dead ends the cops created was maddening
I thought Francis made Wade Wilson immortal?
I made so many Deadpool jokes about this case to my wife she has stopped referring to me as her husband. We’re divorced. Deadpool made me divorced.
it’s not a lynching if it doesn’t happen in Lynchburg region of Tennessee. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling hatecrime.
Also what in the actual fuck is wrong with this country? Didn’t we fight a war over this?
Isn’t the sheriff an elected official? Get rid of them.
He’s doing what he was elected to do.
“I understand there’s over 1,000 hits on TikTok (accusing) the sheriff’s office of not being transparent, not providing information to the family and that is not true,” Brame said. “There’s been information put out there that there’s a lynching in Vance County. There is not a lynching in Vance County. The young man was not dangling from a tree. He was not swinging from a tree. The rope was wrapped around his neck. It was not a noose. There was not a knot in the rope, so therefore, it was not a lynching here in Vance County.” No, you see, we only define lynching in very narrow terms.
lynch | lin(t)SH | verb [with object] 1 (of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial: her father had been lynched for a crime he didn’t commit | (lynching as noun) : a city full of lynchings and riots.
Oh, you mean that definition of lynching?! No, why would you define it like that, get outta here.
He obviously tripped and hung himself trying to run through those good people in white hoods
