A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

This is some real imbecile shit

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 13 points 2 hours ago

When leftists attack so few people (no, Charlie Kirk's shooter wasn't a leftist) that they just need to fake their own shit all the damn time.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

This should serve as a reminder that fascists will do ANYTHING to get what they want.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 11 points 3 hours ago

This should convince most folks the right are trying to start a civil war, but it won't.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I’m more surprised the DOJ is going after her for this rather than giving her a medal.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

So were the words “Trump whore” what she had cut in to her, or was it random cuts with TW written in sharpie or something?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That was very Smollett-minded of her.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Yep he was the first thing I thought of too

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

Why is it always the right entangling themselves in crime?

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 132 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Me: I wonder how they know it was staged

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

Lol

That doesn't mean anything. They can request your browsing history directly from your ISP

Unless you know something we don't, your ISP shouldn't know much about your browsing history

THE ZIP TIES ARE COMING FROM THE HOUSE.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 41 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Did... did this idiot think they weren't going to go to the hospital with her and then when the ER doc tried to clean the wound it... wiped away...that the police were going to just think the 3 guys where just wanting to have a dress up tea party or something.

[–] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 8 points 8 hours ago

"She had lacerations on her face, neck, chest and shoulder"

Scarification is a form of body mod

[–] nullroot@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

A body mod artist does literally wound you, it's not paint. It's plugs cut out, sub dermals inserted, or just ears pierced if you're vanilla, that's the sort of thing they do.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 8 points 12 hours ago

ER staff smells that BS in seconds of opening her mouth.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 41 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

did this idiot think

Lemme stop you right there.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Lol fair enough

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't aware zip ties were that hard to find for some people

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I guess when you order everything online your whole life, you may never develop a sense of what stores and what departments items are usually sold in. 🤔

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a regular customer at home improvement stores, and I make it a point to occasionally just go wander down aisles I haven't been down in a while and just browse through what's available.

It's not uncommon for me to exclaim, "Oh! I didn't know THAT existed?" or "Oh! THAT'S what that's called/where to get those!". Other times it's, "What on earth is THAT for?!?" but then 6 months later I'll be like, "BRB, gotta go get one of those things."

I'm of the opinion that even people that don't own/maintain their own home would benefit from the esoteric knowledge of what can be found on the bottom shelf in the back corner of their local home improvement stores. I don't care what your hobby or passion is. If you don't frequent the home improvement stores, there's probably something there that you can repurpose for your own benefit that you'll wish you knew existed a year ago.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I totally agree. Browsing seems to be going away with moving from physical to algorithmically presented online stores.

[–] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Geeez, have some respect for yourself and throw yourself down a hill and get some real cuts/bruises. Its like they made no effort to cover any tracks.

[–] KenOh@feddit.online 66 points 1 day ago

Really stupid. She could have just said a slur on tik tok and been a millionaire from donations by now.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 135 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They really like to manufacture unreality and sell it as true.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 80 points 1 day ago (14 children)

This one is super weird though. Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her? I'm guessing she's another alcoholic for trump. Regardless, she's in for a ride:

Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

For the same reason these people think that someone would Sharpie "FUCK ICE" onto a clip of bullets after killing only detainees at an ICE facility, and then just plop it on the ground.

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

i think it was 'anti-ice' written with a pen, which is even moreso clearly fake

[–] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 3 points 10 hours ago

And a pardon from Trump.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

Many MAGAts that face social consequences for their MAGAtism cry victim and and then circled with attention and monetary support by other MAGAts. Since they aren't actually victims and they want the attention, they manufacture the victim status.

Sadly this isn't confined to MAGAts. Actor Jussie Smollett did the same thing attempting to manufacture victimhood of a hate crime. What really angers me about Smollett is that there are real victims of race based hate crimes and his antics cast doubt on those other real victim's situations.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

It's not as weird once you realize that they need everyone to be as crazy and stupid as they are. They can't stand a world where that's not true.

After Jussie Smollett, can't imagine why anyone thinks doing something like this is a good idea.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I hope a critter peed on her

Edit: anyone who can’t guess where to buy zip ties is a moron

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I know where to buy regular zip ties for like bundling things or securing wires, but I gotta be honest; other than online, I don't know where I would go to buy zip tie hand cuffs. Do you?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

She didn’t specify handcuffs. The search was simply “zip ties near me”

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So you think she tied herself up with regular old zip ties? Based only on that?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

Read the article.

[–] TastehWaffleZ@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Jesus, I had to go into the article to figure out what you were talking about and it's so pathetic.

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago

"zip ties near me", amazing, perfectly fitting for our era of unreality
