    Can we please stop the conspiracy theory nonsense?

    It was a funny, gallows humor Twitter post at best. Not something you should actually believe yet. I completely believe that they should be investigated as potential foul play incidents, but we have zero evidence that they were. Acting like it’s already been proven is irresponsible and spreading these conspiracies further and further for no reason is wrong.

    Edit: for those of you having trouble separating capability and proof, I highly recommend this fantastic short documentary piece by the legendary Errol Morris. it perfectly illustrates what I’m talking about and only takes about six minutes to watch. Highly recommended to everybody in the thread tbh.

      You can’t be serious…

      There is a difference between a conspiracy theory and something that is hilariously obvious. Its not normal that people just die in mysterious circumstances right when they are about to have a court hearing… And Boing has more than enough money and connections to not just finance such things, but also to cover it.

      If you see this as conspiracy theory you might be a little too far down the rectum of some company.

        As I said in the other comment: I am open to it being true but acting as if it is at this stage is unwarranted.

        And no, fuck Boeing. They punished whistleblowers and cut corners on airplanes. They are trash. The problem is y’all are too comfortable assuming they literally ordered hits on 2 people with no evidence. You’re saying “it could happen because they’re big and powerful.” How is that evidence of murder?

          There will never be evidence for such things as Boing is a gigantic company with ties into the government. They also have moooore than enough money to silence investigations regarding this.

            it can happen =/= it happened.

            Saying “it can’t be proven and I have no direct or even indirect relationship to this alleged incident but I know it happened” is equally wrong. I don’t know what else to say man.

              The probability of it it not having been like that is very slim.

              You should have informed yourself before spreading nonsense.

                What is informing this probability besides “they’re rich and can do it and have done bad things”?

                You said there is no evidence. What is informing this belief?

                Do you really not see the issue here? Again, I am FOR investigation into foul play. But we have no evidence yet of anything remotely like “Boeing had them murdered.” You can’t just keep saying “it’s just so obvious” and call that proof.

      People are entitled to express what they think happend.

      It’s not like they made a website and are sharing links to supposed evidence of conspiracy.

      I don’t disagree with what you say but you are very much overreacting.

      In 10 years wel see a document art about the whole case and that will be how the majority of people will learn any conclusion.

        This is a very, very optimistic take given the reactions in this thread and in other threads when this topic comes up.

        This is how things like pizzagate happen.
