I have always loved hanging out at Piedmont Park.

I was just on twitter and TONS of people are saying there's "no way" it was a suicide. I can tell some automatically are saying it wasn't suicide because it happened in Georgia, nevermind Piedmont Park is one of the last places you'd even find the stereotypical KKK types. One person posted an old new article about a KKK rally out in Cedartown. Uh year, Cedartown=/= midtown Atlanta. Another person called Piedmont Park a regular KKK meet up spot. I've never heard that before... And then someone said they got a flyer passed around in their neighborhood. The location listed on the flyer? Buchanan, VIRGINIA. Yea.

Maybe he was just 'dying' to get some attention?
Ok, so much for the 'stiff' line of questioning...

All one has to do is climb a tree, then tie a rope around a limb off the tree and then tie it around your neck them jump down. Its pretty easy to do

True...plus there is an endless amount of information on the internet with instructions on how to hang yourself. I just checked.

Is it bad that I feel like some people actually want this to be a non-suicide?

It's not just you...our world seems to be run by the (mostly) idiots on social media these days. It seems like many people want to jump to wild conclusions and refuse to wait for more actual information. They love to create something out of nothing, and the news media is more than happy to stoke the fires.

And while I'm at it...I love to hear about these "firestorms" on social media and how people are so hurt by them. Has anyone thought about turning it off and trying the real world for a while?

Can we at least let the investigation happen. Remember people were wrong to label the Orlando shooter as a terrorist when he was having ongoing sexual relationships with a male and was seen in club numerous of times.
