(5,626 posts)They were running wild with it yesterday (right around the time DU was attacked again -- it looks like they were linked). Of course one wonders why -- if it WERE a murder as these Pizzagate conspiracy theorists/Wikileaks garbage consumers believe, and it was ordered by the DNC and/or Hillary, why wouldn't those people (presumably "professionals"
have been better at making it look like a robbery by stealing his wallet, etc? These whack jobs never seem to think of that for some reason when they are running wild with their Hillary stories. In their worldview the evil doers always leave behind obvious clues they "find."
Honestly I have no idea what they think they are getting out of it. They won't convince anyone of anything, and the police aren't taking this case anywhere they want it to go (lock her up, of course, since that is their life mission). The family of Seth Rich wants no part of them or their conspiracy theories, and the police consider it a robbery attempt gone awry, which does happen, even in nice neighborhoods in which such crime is rather rare. It might also have been a gang initiation as this happens as well. Rich was out at 4:30 a.m. when he was murdered, and such an early hour, when the neighborhood would have been sleeping and no one would have been on the streets, is exactly the time of day when a criminal might try to exploit a lone person in a neighborhood like this one.
These jerks have been harassing the family with their theories, and of course because neither the police or the family want any part of their conspiracies they believe the "Deep State" (ruled over of course by the apparently god-superhero-batman-powered Hillary) is behind some massive cover-up. So it's basically Pizzagate redux. But this seems worse to me since they are going after a family in mourning.
It's a concerted effort by paid Russian trolls, who by far make up the most of the Seth Rich crowd, and I suspect they were after us yesterday as well. Reddit is very close to killing their subreddit (named after The Donald -- it is the most embarrassing example of hero-worship and blind cultlike devotion that I've ever seen especially to a modern politician -- it's hard to know if it's all genuinely stupid people posting endless clumsy spin on Trump and very cultish fanboy nonsense or a bunch of paid trolls encouraging a handful of Trump cult believers and a few curious onlookers. My guess is the later -- just imho of course).
