That's the story that made me close this thread and take a break. That was gruesome.


I don't care how change they have undergone, I have strong issues trusting white ppl were born pre civil-war.
Wait what?

I don't trust any white person. From any era

Bruh, I gotta say out of all those pictures the one with the skull that had bone cancer is the creepiest one. :huhldup:

That shyt is still giving me goosebumps all over. :huhldup:

that's creepy cool, like the elephant man.

The women being photographed by their killers as they tried to get away - and in particular, the crying little white boy handcuffed to a beam beneath the floorboards, with a toolbox full of torture shyt above him, and nobody knows his name or where he is now --- I think those are creepiest. That was the shyt that originally made me log out of the thread.

Knew before opening this thread that Elisa Lam story would appear. Still has a nikka shook. :sadcam:

They ruled that shyt an accidental drowning!!!! She's pressing buttons frantically and waving for help, where the fukk was security? Accidental drowning. Yeah, and that dude really did shoot himself to death while handcuffed in the back of a squad car. And that madam lady really did hang herself before appearing in court to testify.

When coroners ain't shyt, they really ain't shyt.

Interesting thread but I went searching for more information concerning one of the photos and found this.
:wtf:

Pretty sure this was some type of dramatization, not real

For those who have never heard the story of the lynchings of Hayes and Mary Turner

mary-turner1.jpg


n May of 1918, Hampton Smith, a 31 year old White plantation owner in Brooks County, Georgia was shot and killed by one of his Black workers named Sydney Johnson. Hampton Smith was known for abusing and beating his workers to the point few people in the area would work for him. To solve this labor shortage, Smith turned to the debt peonage system of the day and found a ready labor pool. He used that system by bailing people out of jail, people typically arrested for petty offenses, and having them work off their debt (the bail money) to him on his plantation. Nineteen year old Sydney Johnson, arrested for "rolling dice" and fined thirty dollars, was one such unfortunate person.

After a few days of work on Smith's plantation, and shortly after being refused his earned wages and beaten by Smith for not working while he was sick, Sidney Johnson shot and killed Hampton Smith. What ensued after the shooting was a mob driven manhunt for Johnson and others thought to be involved in his decision to kill Hampton Smith. That manhunt lasted for more than a week and resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people with some historical accounts suggesting a higher number of persons killed. One of the people killed was a woman named Mary Turner.

Twenty year-old Mary Turner (m.n. Hattie Graham), 8 months pregnant at the time and whose husband had been killed in this "lynching rampage" on Sunday, May 19th, publicly objected to her husband's murder. She also had the audacity to threaten to swear out warrants for those responsible. Those "unwise remarks," as the area papers put it, enraged locals. Consequently, Mary Turner fled for her life only to be caught and taken to a place called Folsom's Bridge on the Brooks and Lowndes Counties' shared border. To punish her, at Folsom's Bridge the mob tied Mary Turner by her ankles, hung her upside down from a tree, poured gasoline on her and burned off her clothes. One member of the mob then cut her stomach open and her unborn child dropped to the ground where it was reportedly stomped on and crushed by a member of the mob. Her body was then riddled with gunfire from the mob. Later that night she and her baby were buried ten feet away from where they were murdered. The makeshift grave was marked with only a "whiskey bottle" with a "cigar" stuffed in its neck.

Three days after the murder of Mary Turner and her baby, three more bodies were found in the area and Sydney Johnson was killed in a shoot out with police on South Troup Street in Valdosta, Georgia. Once killed, the crowd of more than 700 people cut off his genitals and threw them into the street. A rope was then tied to his neck and his body was drug for nearly 20 miles to Campground Church in Morven, Georgia, 16 miles away. There, what remained of his body was burned. During and shortly after this chain of events it is reported that more than 500 people fled Lowndes and Brooks Counties in fear for their lives.
The Mary turner incident happened in my hometown. The story I was told never involved a bridge but this spot now called the Crescent House where mad folks get married and that tree (where this all happened) still stands

And we're the subhuman animals? White people have literally ruined the world for everyone.
