Yeah . . . Suicide. Just like Epstein. Not suspicious at all. Fuck Trump and his cadre of enablers.

Everyone is immortal in conspiracy theory land. Every death is automatically suspicious.

Yeah, and all those russians threw themselves out the window as well /s

Doesn't it make sense that a guy who has received numerous death threats would choose to do it himself?

It’s an interesting question. Does it? I can see it making sense if you really felt that doing so would immediately make your family safer. And especially if the threats are coming from people with violence in their pasts.

Murdering someone makes them a martyr, ruining their life until they kill themselves makes them an example.

You like the safe fantasy of hitmen and such, because it's more comforting than the reality that the entirety of capitalist society is a weapon that can be turned on anyone at any time.

sry I didn't put the /s tag, but I was thinking that's more likely what happened as well. I'm not one of the crime show addicts. Still more of a martyr than an example, imo.

Yeah, right? America is the clear beacon of opportunity, success, and hope. They routinely exhibit displays of great excellence and authenticity. Everything is possible here. Everyone should want to be here, except no one should come because they're not allowed nor wanted, but everyone who was born here should love it. There's literally no reason not to.

Suicide is easy cover. Basic logic seems to elude you. A number of people "committing suicide" who are connected or have knowledge of illegal acts from politicians is a trend, not a "people die sometimes" situation. But you don't care about facts and logic, you want to discredit something that's a revealing and important data point so it gets forgotten.

Every whistleblower suicide is certainly suspicious.

There goes reddit minimizing mental health and suicide again to peddle conspiracy slop with no evidence. Could someone who exposed powerful people doing bad things have been under so much pressure and harassment that his mental health suffered and he took his own life? Nope, must have been the roving hit squads that make murders look like suicides! Funny how nobody can keep secrets with all these whistleblowers, except for the invisible secret hit squads.
