None of that is relevant to this case. Racial tensions are high and it is entirely possible that had nothing to do with this guy's death. There's no evidence to conclude anything. That can change but right now the state cannot make claims they cannot support with actual evidence.
If they assert this was a racially motivated killing then they need to have suspects or direct evidence fir this (eg slurs written on the body) as it would be impossible to maintain this motive without them.
JFC you just made me realize ... what if Tyler was a POC? With Trump throwing gasoline on the fire like he is now? Shit, we possibly could be in low level race war territory at that point
Personally I don’t think a race war is coming and it wouldn’t make sense tosee this administration as promoting one.
It’s a class war. Class war frequently captures the minority populations so while it can seem like a race war it is a class war.
What if, written on the body, was a drawing of that same body hanging from a tree in the style of an old lynching?
That wouldnt demonstrate a racial motivation
