One thing that police departments, real estate developers, the business community, and our faithful watchdog Free Press agree on is, "we don't want any lynchings". That's why they are ruled suicide and quickly forgotten. One such "suicide" happened just a few miles from where I am sitting now: Somehow a young black man, Damien Johnson, managed to climb a live oak without getting a mark on his pristine white T-shirt. There were no traces of bark or moss on his shoes, which did retain leaf material from the ground below. The manner in which he "hanged himself" was mechanically impossible without lots of help. But his death was ruled suicide the next day and the case was closed without any undesirable publicity. What makes Riad Hammad's death different, is that he had been harassed by the FBI and vigilante-minded local citizens, and was well known in his local activist community. But never mind: He used duct tape to tie his own hands and feet, wrapped it around his head, and threw himself into the lake. Isn't it obvious? The rest of the story: http://tinyurl.com/6cu34p
