(30,613 posts)You know, security cameras typically don't fail, especially the fancy ones in a maximum-security jail. When the story first broke, I predicted there would be "broken" cameras in it. What a surprise.

(9,291 posts)Maybe one camera, but two.
Also two sleeping guards. I get one sleeps to cover the other. I've worked nightshift at a EMS center, I get tried. Just both of them, at the same time?
Also, why did Epstein come back? I've never read why he came back, from wherever he was. How we picked him up at the New Jersey airport. Was he coaxed home?

(24,653 posts)The odds that a camera will go down at any given time is quite high. The odds two specific cameras will go down together at a critical moment in time in a high interest area? Not so much.

(2,420 posts)...why would they need both cameras to be out? Maybe one, but both? In fact, wouldn't they want at least one to be functional if individuals were paid to look the other way during a suicide? Wouldn't they prefer video evidence of Epstein actually doing the deed himself, just to cover some asses? Nope. I agree with Kirshner.

But, calling it murder is more juicy, and just maybe Epstein had a photo of trump that we all want jailed raping a child on inauguration night. Keep the fire, and bloggers, burning.

cwydro
(51,308 posts)Whats the starting football center got to do with anything?
Kid Berwyn
(14,808 posts)It is unusual for a freshman to lead the offensive line.
In researching this reply, I found I made a mistake. I repeated what I read on Wikipedia.
Kirschner did not letter as a freshman. He lettered three years - soph, junior and senior years. Better source, the teams webpage:

Loge23
(3,922 posts)We'll probably never know what happened and to that I'd like to add in the very shady presence of Fat Billy Barr into the mix. Anyone else feel that Fat Billy doth protest too much after the suicide?
But to further speculate, I thought that Epstein was just too arrogant and sure of himself to do this. He had oodles of dough to try and get off and I think he would have taken this to as long as he could have. Now maybe if he was ultimately found guilty and imprisoned in a federal penitentiary, maybe then he would have ended it all. But I do find it highly suspicious that he would have done the deed when he did.
cstanleytech
(26,242 posts)I would say offhand that suicide would be unlikely.
So the question is what could he offer a prosecutor that the prosecutor would agree to that? About the only thing I could think of is evidence involving a number of other powerful people that used and or provided the girls to him.

(50,237 posts)it strains the imagination that both things happened at the same time just when Epstein was making his exit.
zentrum
(9,865 posts)...incredibly deep and broad and powrful. So I'm prepared to believe it was murder.
My one question is--what about the first attempt? Did they come in and try to kill him then too? Why would they fail the first time?
None of it makes any sense.

(13,565 posts)....and saw a whole big new Q presence over there. A thread with more than a thousand posts includes something reportedly sent out shortly after Epstein's demise telling how he was switched out and left the facility alive. So there's a whole huge CT about this, on the right.

3 charged with killing sex ring mastermind in prison
Robert Snell
The Detroit News, Aug. 21, 2019 |
Detroit Three prison inmates stabbed, beat, kicked and stomped to death Christian Maire, the mastermind of an international child exploitation ring who was killed inside the federal detention center in Milan in January, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday.
Alex "Sniper" Castro, 39, Jason "J" Kechego, 38, and Adam "Creeper" Wright, 39, were charged with first-degree premeditated murder and accused of conspiring to prey upon smaller, weaker inmates, including Maire and another member of the child exploitation ring, Michael Figura, prosecutors said.
Excerpt...
Maire and Figura belonged to an international child exploitation ring that perfected the art of preying on preteen and teenage girls. Members of the ring who were called hunters posed as teenage boys and trolled social media websites to lure victims to a private online chatroom before manipulating more than 100 children, including at least one from Metro Detroit, to strip, masturbate and perform sex acts on camera.

This attack should have been in the institutional memory, another reminder Epstein was in danger whether he also was a danger to himself is secondary. Epstein told the NYT he had compromising info on the rich and powerful. Epstein thus was a threat to the perverts at the top of the elite heap until he died.

Buckeyeblue
(5,499 posts)There are far more powerful people in the world than Trump. His power is limited and finite. The British Royalty on the other hand. Maybe it wasn't just Andy who like to dabble.
When you are talking about sexual perversion, there are no limits. We assume Trump but really, with something like this, there could be a line of powerful people and families that preferred him not to speak.
But...if that's the case, why would they have waited until he was arrested?
The reality is, he did himself in. He knew he was never getting out of prison. Why people serve out life sentences is beyond me. I would do the same thing.
