[Vision2020] Hate Crime on the Palouse

[Donovan Arnold]

Carl,

It matters not if he killed himself because of discrimination or because of 
someone forced him to do so. The reason the media never retracted it's story 
was because it was not proven that it was a lynching or not. How do you 
prove it either way it was in a forest with no witnesses?
