- dragontamer 5y agoThat was 2 years ago though. A lot in a person's life can change in just 2 years.

- colordrops 5y agoVery strange that you are being down voted.
- babypuncher 5y agoThe man has spent most of his life lying and cheating, why would anyone believe him when he says this?
- dtech 5y agoThat's also 9 months ago, "before his death" is a bit misleading.
- ruined 5y agoand if he'd posted it yesterday, you'd be saying it's so soon that it's suspicious and he's obviously up to something. what's the optimal cooldown to post affirmations of life so that you believe they're true?
- dragontamer 5y agoI guess I discount the words of others pretty strongly, especially when it comes to conspiracy theories. Instead of trying to look for evidence in someone's tweets, how about we look at the facts on the ground. Such as: was he on suicide watch? Is this jail reliable? Is there a history of conspiracy and/or corruption in this jailhouse?

- nullsmack 5y agoAnd then he killed himself to set off moronic conspiracy theories as a final FU to the USA.
- colordrops 5y agoWhich is more believable, that he was murdered, or that he killed himself to troll people?
- willis936 5y agoTruly the latter. He was not a well-adjusted, grounded individual. Also, what benefit is there to the US to kill him? They already won. Being able to kill people you have custody of is a weak message compared to "nowhere is safe from us".
- colordrops 5y agoThey don't want him in the press talking. And it sends a message.
- willis936 5y agoThe message was already sent: you can't flee from the IRS once you are a target. Showing you're not afraid to kill enemies isn't nearly as chilling.
- watwut 5y agoPrisoners dont get to talk to press all that much. You are 100% of time under controll. And having him in prison for long sends even better message then maybe-murder-maybe-not.
- Gigamo 5y agoHe was literally tweeting up until a few days ago. What makes you think he'd need the press to "unveil" anything "they" "don't want him talking about"?
