Yes, I gathered as much. Again, I left that conversation two days ago, because it really doesn't matter. I found myself confused, never saw such a mirror image alternate ampersand symbol before, and made a dummy assumption that it was a number 3 with a couple odd emphasis dots above and below, which led me to believe there was a missing #1 that had eroded on some old grafitti.
Clearly I was mistaken, clearly I was out of the loop, and if it made you and others feel any better, I apologized, for being censored from proper Mississippi news. They're still declaring that there was only one hanging near Delta State University, and they're still declaring that was a suicide.
I'm sorry I didn't know what's up when I initially commented, and yes I feel a bit embarrassed. But who should feel more embarrassed? Mississippi politicians that seem to be deliberately keeping their citizens in the dark and ignorant to this.
This level of censorship on such tragic events is fucking disgusting!
I'm glad we can have a bit of a civilized conversation now. Would you happen to have a link to a proper news article regarding these recent tragic events?

One of them was black, but there are other similar events that have happened outside of Mississippi. Use google. America doesn’t like to identify lynchings, but there is a long and stable history of beaten dead bodies found in trees and tied to fence posts, a bit of an odd and difficult way to commit suicide if you ask me.
Damn yo, thank you for sharing a proper link at least.
Sorry about my misunderstanding and our fuss and whatnot, but that's altogether messed up ☹️
I found the article via Tor (fuck Tater Reeves and his kind, and fuck Google), but seriously they seem to be censoring the full facts here in Mississippi..
There can't be a coincidence, I don't think anyways..
Thank you for the link, but I'll pass on using Google.
May I remind you again, Mississippi is censoring our internet and news, duh.
I'll check your link through Tor though.
