TW: suicide???
Am I missing something here? How does someone hogtie themselves and then hang themselves? How is this being considered a suicide? Am I on crazy pills?
It's not uncommon in Russia for people to commit suicide with a couple gunshots to the head, and then jumping out the window.
hunting accident
Thankfully Dick Cheney can no longer enter the chat.
You hope
Consistently happens to my 6/6/6 heirs... right after comet sighted.
I understood this. Classic.
Could you link me up with any such case?
Turns out there's a relevant Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_Russia-related_deaths_since_2022
Which ones are “with a couple gunshots to the head, and then jumping out the window”? I don't see them.
I think that guy might've been exaggerating lol
Well, I wanted to give them a chance to show that they's not just making shit up, but what else could be expected when talking about Russia.
I mean falling out of a window and getting shot are pretty common on that list. And that list only starts in 2022 lol
Ah, and that means that people are getting shot and falling out of a window at the same time.
My man, I don't think it was supposed to be taken literally...
Buddies taking the XOR statement way too seriously
Seems like everyone is playing along with the claim of suicide while trying to get the details from DHS/GeoGroup.
We are all on crazy pills on this glorious day.
That's how it's done in the United Soviet States of America.
Easy on the "United".
It's the same sense that Epstein "committed suicide."
A lot of people seem to "commit suicide" who were inconvenient to this Admin
I literally just copied the same exact passage intending to ask the same question here. I'm not understanding how this is feasible.
This is absolutely tragic, regardless of the answer. But... how is this even possible?
Ever heard of Occam's razor?
Yes. I've also heard of Hanlons razor. Just because a philosophical concept exists doesn't mean it's universally applicable.
What about Gillette's razor?
I used to apply it to everything, then I found out about safety's razor
Smooooth...
Well, while we're on the topic here... I'm way more okay with applying Occam's razor than Hanlon's in this particular circumstance.
Normally I'm the first to advocate for patience and generally assuming the best of people. So I really do wish that anything about this seemed like negligence or ignorance, but with this administration, all I can see is malicious intent.
I imagine there are legal issues with reporting anything other than the official cause of death that Newsweek don't want to get into so they just laid everything out nice and factually so that readers can come to their own conclusion...
Exactly what i came to say. How is that even possible?
Oh I know, wasn’t this on Sherlock Holmes? They stood on a giant block of ice. When the ice melted, they were fatally hanged and the evidence disappeared
Hush. Stop asking questions.
Put your head in the noose, tie your feet, tie your hands, probably using your mouth to pull the knot, and then do the drop. The reason for this would be to beat survival instinct.
Are there cases of suicide where this has happened outside of law enforcement custody?
It seems you need 3-5 feral hogs to help with some of the steps
I’ve got ehlers-danlos and I am experienced with self bondage. Tying my own hands behind my back is not easy for me, let alone the average person.
Yes, but it describes it as hog tied, which is your feet ti d to your hands behind your back. I don't think I could hog tie myself, let alone hang myself after.
How do you tie your hands behind your back with your mouth? Especially when your neck is in a noose?
By using a slipknot. Ultimately it depends on the knots used and the order they were tied in, but it's technically possible.
Is it probable or likely? Absolutely not.
