Someone is Editing and Deleting Seth Rich’s Reddit Posts

No, no it's not.  Why would you even think that?

Silence is consent so I guess it's ok right?

[ABX]

You all know I'm a big skeptic about well, everything, and don't buy conspiracy theories, but something smells about this. It could just be a series of coincidences, and likely it is, but with the timing of the leaks it does raise a red flag with me.

The sad part is this, Art Bell is more credible than Sean Hannity

I think Hannity is trying to get out of his contract in hopes of working for his Precious.

Since when is silence consent?  I'm just not getting your argument.  I do get that you're angry, but I don't understand why.

If GeronL and Cripplecreek can be belittled, then I must have carte blanche to belittle. Turnabout is fair play, no?

   No one here has 'carte blanche' to belittle anyone, experience tells me, sure some of us go into the weeds at times, but we are usually snapped back to reality quickly by the mods.
   I did my best last night to talk Geronl away from the edge, apparently to no avail, Discuss and Disagreements, sure as ADULTS, belittling has no place here for anyone as the owner would quickly remind us. @Weird Tolkienish Figure

Where has discussing birtherism gotten us? Where has discussing Vince Foster gotten us? Where has discussing any of these conspiracies gotten us?

I've never seen a single one of these conspiracy ever materialize into anything concrete.

You do realize.... that this is a political discussion forum.... and that issues like this do qualify as political discussion....

right???

@Weird Tolkienish Figure has a point.  All that was accomplished was the feeding of the conspiracy beast.  And we can go up thread and see in my own posts how rumor becomes accepted as fact.  Seth Rich shot at distance cannot be verified.  But we hear bits of info and accept it because we tend to trust each other.  We need to make sure that in the discussion, we hold ourselves accountable.

He was shot in the back while walking down the street in DC.  Suicide seems unlikely.

I dunno! I seem to recall a fellow who's death during the Billy Sol Estes "investigation" who was shot 11 times in the back with a single shot .22 rifle being ruled a suicide.   Now THAT was one tough hombre!

And respectfully, I disagree with that point.

Nobody on my side of this issue (pro-further-investigation) has said anything re: wanting rumor to substitute for facts.  But... if left up to a certain five members here (more or less) .... no further investigation of the Seth Rich murder would be conducted cause it might look like a conspiracy theory with political axe motivations.  I think it would be 100% wrong to drop any further investigation based on that asinine assessment.  It would set a VERY bad precedent, in fact.

Washington dc is a violent city

No it isn't.  No really.

And if it is, "violent", what then is Chicago or Baltimore (40 min drive North from D.C.)??

42 homicides YTD 2017

136 total homicides in 2016....which was down from 2015.

edited to add:   In fact, it's not even in the TOP TEN for 2016.

I want a thurough investigation too.  But we can't do that here.  All we can do is speculate about evidence that has been released.  It may well be murder perpetrated by the DNC, but at this time there in no actual evidence to support that claim ( see the link I posted up-thread ).

If we aren't verifying facts in our discussion, the we are just another group of kooks.

We verify nothing. We discuss things we've read. Since I can't read everything, I appreciate coming here to learn. Some speculation is inevitable, no big deal.

If someone wants to call me a kook what's that to me.

No.  That would make you the 3rd man in.    Do you know what happens in the NHL to the "3rd man".

But thank you @Weird Tolkienish Figure for providing an explanation of sorts, for your ever-increasing boorishness, lately.

It's not about the names we get called.

 It's about what we are.

We're freedom-loving Americans who are STARVING for truth.

Literally.    Lost my appetite.

Does it make me a "kook" to still (after all these years, decades).... want to know....

who shot JFK?

Who really was behind it.  Inquiring minds, and all that....lolol.

And you aren't likely to get the truth from the government.  And even less likely to get the truth from the DC police about anything criminal that happens in DC if it has a political component that even remotely involves a democrat.

[skeeter]

I'm curious.

And I won't insult anyone who's not.

I'm curious too.  I just want to try to avoid feeding the rumor mill.

[Emjay]

Cause I don't buy that Seth Rich was murder..

You think he saw a bullet and walked into it?

[Emjay]

He was awake and talking when paramedics arrived. He later died at the hospital. Leaving someone alive to talk for 20 minutes to an hour isn't a terribly effective means keeping a secret.

Maybe he did tell the paramedics and doctors but they're in on it.......

Whoa, now.

I've been shot in the back but I'm still barely alive.  Paramedics come ... okay, I've had paramedics come ... they are concentrating on where you are hurting and everything physical.  They do not usually go into my political background or concerns.

Anyway, .... hello .... I was shot in the back.  I don't know what the hell happened.

And maybe I'm in no shape to talk about any suspicions I might have.

Fail.

[Emjay]

I'm mocking the desperate need of certain people to find liberal murder conspiracies without any basis in fact in order to validate their petty little world views. 

Who knows, maybe this was a DNC hit.  But that's an extraordinary claim and it requires strong evidence, not just politically-motivated speculation based on coincidence. 

Tinfoil is for leftovers, not hats.

That was a particularly insulting post .... i.e. "the desperate need of certain people" and "petty little world" views.

What is your problem?

There is also zero evidence to support the claim that Richs' death resulted from a "robbery gone bad". The fact that Rich told his girl friend he would call her right back leads me to believe he knew his killer.  She said whoever Rich was talking to sounded angry.

Re Vince foster, shot himself in the back on the head ....... twice ........ ruled a suicide ........... Nothing to see here folks just move along.

How about we do a real investigation this time. 

I've read that police ALWAYS want to talk to the last people that saw the victim alive. That would be the bartenders at a local club. How come they have not been interviewed?

Problem solving always starts with speculation. "What ifs" are how we advance our civilization and how we solve difficult premeditated crimes.
