I wonder if they'll run a story of "Reddit hounds person to suicide.", with more finger pointing.

Wasn't this person already missing? If this is indeed them, might this be unrelated to the Reddit thing?

Ah yes, it's the older of the two "suspects"...

They'd have to be some pretty skilled costume guys and make-up artists to work so quickly and convincingly, eh?

Edit: regarding that conspiracy website article. I gave up before the end, it seemed too wacky.

That's exactly what they want you to think.

In the conspiracy theorist world, accidents never just 'happen', bad people are incapable of jury-rigging explosives and setting them off and no lone nut wanted to settle a grudge.

It's a bizarre world. And they're idiots.

Obvious tinfoil hat stuff and really nasty images. I am not that squeemish, for me the expressions of shock and fear is almost worse than the injuries.

I recently deleted from Facebook a former acquaintence who continuously posted nutjob consipracy theory guff. The guff was actually fairly entertaining, but then he started sharing BNP status updates and that was much less so.

Anyway, I digress, it's something I've always found interesting how there are people that seem to get so heavily into this whole 'conspiracy' mindset - where absolutely everything has to be 'staged' or 'faked' as some kind of propaganda created by the government or the Illuminati or the lizard-people or whoever to fuck knows what end. How do you end up like that? Where something shitty can happen somewhere in the world and your very first thought it "the Government staged this!"?

The government in Afghanistan must be incredibly efficient; they have bloody loads of bombs!

It's the guy identified in the Reddit thing, but he was already missing and his death appears to be entirely unrelated to the Reddit thing.

Although still, the Reddit thing was bloody stupid. Crowdsourced criminal investigations - what a good idea.

My wife's half-brother's mum keeps posting bollocks about how electricity smart meters are part of some illuminati conspiracy so I've had to block her, the mentalist loonbucket.

Facebook allows me way too much of a view of people's minds. I liked a number of people way more before Facebook showed me the real them. TAKE NOTE, MYSTERY BEEXER GOING ON A DATE THIS SATURDAY.

Zio: it is because when your life is not as peachy as you think it should be it is easier to blame hidden and unseen forces than do something.
