This is such a confusing story—how does someone "hog tie" themselves before committing suicide by hanging?
The confusing part is that there's so many details provided but the report just kind of... awkwardly buries those facts underneath a pile of other facts.
Like the story wants to make you believe that this was a case of the jail being so horrific that this person with possible mental health issues killed themself.
You know, rather than focusing on what the conditions of the body's discovery actually imply: he was lynched in jail.
Ah yes the ‘ol’ he shot himself in the back of the head type of suicide.
And apparently it’s an epidemic in that prison. Multiple people tying their own hands and feet behind their backs and then hanging themselves. And of course since they couldn’t / didn’t fight back it could only be self inflicted, that’s the only solution to this conundrum here.
Sorta like Epstein managed to do to himself ofc. Really is truly mystifying.
And damn had he just had a decent therapist, I’m sure he coulda pulled through somehow. Never mind the abduction, jail, treatment, and nazis.
Epstein killed himself because the guards and cameras were called off. Someone whispered in his ear, "Do yourself or face hell. Think on it. We'll give you a few."
If you've never spent a couple of days in county, you can hardly imagine what a billionaire was facing. ALL the privilege and leverage in the world, gone. And try to put yourself in Epstein's shoes! Dozens of powerful men want you dead. Might as well get it over with. Epstein killed himself because he was allowed to kill himself.
Up until last week, that was my theory too
But now seeing Trump's reactions... he totally ordered the hit
