The south has a very racially charged history, as many black people were lynched by hateful individuals. Many thought this behavior was a thing of the past, but a recent case has reopened wounds from slavery and the civil rights era. Police asked Lacy to identify the body of her 17-year-old son, Lennon Lacy, who was placed in a body bag at the crime scene.

Police stated Lennon had hanged himself with a dog leash and belt. However, there were discrepancies in the case and it does not appear to some that Lennon committed suicide via hanging. His family believe Lennon was lynched, as there were unanswered questions at the coroner's office and his body had a bump on the head, cuts and scrapes. Lacy's white girlfriend stated she is of the belief he was murdered over their interracial relationship. The NAACP has taken up his cause. The case was sent to the FBI, who have opened an investigation into his suspicious death.

Lennon Lacy Death Might Be A Lynching Not Suicide, FBI Says

 

Lennon Lacy, 17, was found hanged with a dog leash and a belt on a swing set in North Carolina in August. His death was initially ruled a suicide, but an FBI probe into the matter indicate Lacy’s death may have been a lynching and a hate crime. The FBI launched an investigation into the Lennon Lacy death due to “unanswered questions” by the coroner, and insistence by the North Carolina teenager’s family that the death was a “race-based” homicide. Lacy was found hanging from the swings in a “largely white” trailer park in Bladenboro – less than one mile from his home...

Lennon Lacy was reportedly in a romantic relationship with a “white woman” who lived across the road. The teenager’s mother added that multiple cuts, scrapes, and a large bump on his head could indicate that he was attacked or hit by someone. The NAACP is organizing a march in Bladenboro on Saturday to draw more attention to the case...

Was my 17-year-old son lynched, in the year 2014? The police still won't tell me 

Friday 12 December 2014 10.41 EST - It’s hard to think such a thing could still happen in the United States. This is justice? Tell us what happened to Lennon. Tell me what happened to my son. The author, whose son was found hanging from a swing set in the middle of a white trailer park. Within hours, the police decided it was suicide.

The knock on the door came at about noon. I’d woken up feeling unwell that morning and had called the hospital where I work to say I wasn’t coming in. I was on the phone with my sister and just when the door knocked she was telling me that she’d heard a body had been found hanging in a local park. That was strange.

I opened the door and saw the police chief of our town, Bladenboro in North Carolina, standing there. “I need you to come with me to identify a body,” Chris Hunt said. That put me into a tail-spin. What was it he wanted? Who did I have to identify? I got into my car and followed him to a trailer park about a quarter of a mile from my house. It’s an exposed, lonely place, with a line of eight children’s swing sets in the center of several trailer homes that have mostly white occupants. 

As we pulled up, I was directed to an ambulance parked on the grass. Just as I was coming up to it, I saw a police officer wrapping up the yellow crime-scene tape that had been put around one of the swing sets, as though as to say job done. That was really odd, I remember thinking at the time – I’ve seen lots of crime scenes over the years and they always leave the tape up, to preserve the integrity of the site, for days if not weeks.

I stepped up into the ambulance and stood over a black body bag. My 17-year-old son, Lennon, was inside. I unzipped the bag down to his waist. I was in shock, despair, but I wanted to see what had happened to him. I wanted to know why my son was here, in this desolate place, lying dead in a body bag. As I stepped back out of the vehicle, I spoke out loud and clear. “Whoever did this,” I said, “they took him down, because he didn’t do this to himself.”...

FBI Blogger Called For Lynching Of Black Woman

Hal Turner

White Supremacist, FBI Blogger, Hal Turner, who was a paid informant of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, openly called for the lynching of a former black congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney.

He referred to her as, "A violent, black, racist, bi**h’ whose lynching would teach other Blacks that ‘white people are tired of your bull***t, behave or die.’" Yes, he did.

Turner was on the FBI's payroll, under FBI Director Robert S. Mueller's supervision, while he spewed this racist bile, endangering her life.

Is this what the FBI thinks of black people - that we can be endangered to make arrests in order to extract more funding from Congress, via taxpayer money, which gets stolen, anyway (For reference, see millions in missing computer system money).

It is so appalling and irresponsible. Who in their right mind could think such a thing was a good idea. Does the FBI have no oversight!

How does the FBI justify this appalling conduct, from a man they trained to incite violence, as court documents attest, to enable them to meet headquarters' arrest quotas, also known as entrapment.

It wasn't until he called for the death of white judges that the FBI finally decided to arrest their own paid informant. Too bad you can't get a refund.

However, that's very telling. What a terrible double standard, as every life is valuable. What if someone publicly put a target on FBI Director Robert Mueller's back or that of his kids and grandkids, calling for their deaths online and on the radio. He would be angry.

FBI Director Robert Mueller

He would have been so enraged and locked them up immediately. However, in his mind, it is okay for a paid FBI informant to call for the death of a black member of the U.S. Congress, with no penalty and not so much as a word from the FBI.

That's called corruption. You endangered her very life in allowing him to do such a thing. What if someone had killed McKinney? What would the FBI have said. Once again, irresponsible!

Upon learning of this news, when Turner was arrested recently, McKinney stated, "“[I]t has just now come to my attention that a ‘journalist’ who suggested that I be lynched was actually being paid by our own government to say that. Now, when I reported it to the FBI, how in the world was I to know that he was at that time on the FBI’s payroll?”

Lynching of Cynthia McKinney urged by ‘journalist’ trained and paid by FBI

August 24, 2009 - Hal Turner called her ‘a violent, black, racist, bi**h’ whose lynching would teach other Blacks that ‘white people are tired of your bull****, behave or die.’

“[I]t has just now come to my attention that a ‘journalist’ who suggested that I be lynched was actually being paid by our own government to say that. Now, when I reported it to the FBI, how in the world was I to know that he was at that time on the FBI’s payroll?”

“Hate blogger” Hal Turner’s lawyer said last week, and prosecutors agreed, that Turner was “trained by the FBI on how to be deliberately provocative” and “worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an ‘agent provocateur’ and was taught by the agency ‘what he could say that wouldn’t be crossing the line.’”

Turner is being charged with making death threats against Connecticut legislators and Illinois judges and is apparently going to claim that his actions were legal because he did the same sort of thing when employed by the FBI. In an Associated Press story published Aug. 18, Katie Nelson writes:

“Prosecutors have acknowledged that Turner was an informant who spied on radical right-wing organizations, but the defense has said Turner was not working for the FBI when he allegedly made threats against Connecticut legislators and wrote that three federal judges in Illinois deserved to die.

“‘But if you compare anything that he did say when he was operating, there was no difference. No difference whatsoever,’ [his lawyer] said.”...

McKinney wrote in her email: “Interesting that charges stem from his comments against Connecticut lawmakers and Illinois judges, but not from the threat made against me, a sitting Member of Congress at the time!” And apparently the threat against McKinney was made when Turner admits to having been on the FBI payroll.

John Judge, who worked for McKinney, writes of Turner:

“This is the guy who announced a program topic suggesting that Cynthia McKinney be lynched on her way to the polls to vote in 2006 and published her campaign office address on the website. He asked how she would look swinging at the end of a rope and what message it would send to other ‘uppity’ Blacks. I called NJ Homeland Security and FBI at the time …. The FBI agent I spoke to said, ‘We know all about Mr. Turner.’ Looks like they did.”

“LYNCHING CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY: SHOULD IT BE DONE BEFORE HER JULY 18 PRIMARY ELECTION?

“Tune-in to ‘The Hal Turner Show’ this Wednesday evening from 9:00-11:00 PM eastern US time as we talk about this topic!...“Turner promotes antisemitism (including the rounding up and killing of Jews), he opposes the existence of the state of Israel and he denies the Holocaust.

“According to the Associated Press, Hal Turner has exposed through his attorney that he worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an ‘agent provocateur’ and ‘his job was basically to publish information which would cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest.’
