Ew. No one should be chilling with Epstein.
They should be roasting with him because he should be deep in the pits of Dantes Hell.
The 9th circle in the Inferno was a frozen lake. Though I'd expect Weinstein and Epstein to end up on the ring dedicated to the lustful rather than down on the 9th with the traitors.
Well wherever you want to put him, I would not put a whistle blower anywhere in the vicinity of a shitbag like him
hey, if you're chilling with epstein we would know whether or not he killed himself at the very least.
Can't deny that portion of it.
He killed himself.
Was the situation around his suicide orchestrated to give him the best possible chance of killing himself? Maybe. Even that might be giving too much credit to the people who would have the motive to do so.
He was a guilty pedophile, he knew he was a guilty pedophile, and the easiest way out for him was by wrapping a prison bedsheet around his neck.
Give me a solution to his death simpler than he wanted to die, and the people guarding him weren't very good at their jobs, and I'll buy it.
the fact that someone who isn't supposed to be capable of committing suicide, manages to commit suicide. Is a pretty damn good argument as for why it's not entirely up to them, especially in the scenario that they have no legal autonomy over themselves anymore.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a billionaire running a pedo trafficking ring when left alone for about 23 seconds is going to immediately kill themselves.
People commit suicide in prison all the time.
yeah, but the whole point of suicide watch is that you aren't supposed to
And yet it happens.
yeah, weird. Huh?
