3. It is still IMO a conspiracy theory to continue claiming Epstein's death was an unassisted suicide.

Whoa....neck bones broken [View all] pbmus Aug 2019 OP
It's very easy to break those tiny bones, if they are not yours. JoeOtterbein Aug 2019 #1
Personally, I think it was Oddjob. lpbk2713 Aug 2019 #2
It is still IMO a conspiracy theory to continue claiming Epstein's death was an unassisted suicide. brush Aug 2019 #3
Agreed. It's one thing to question here and there and quite another to make up a whole damn story UniteFightBack Aug 2019 #5
It is an OPEN investigation. Investigation does not equate to conspiracy theory but to be thorough hlthe2b Aug 2019 #25
Oh, please. Their first utterance was "apparent suicide". And many are also pissed... brush Aug 2019 #34
No, PLEASE yourself. Until a finding has been issued after investigation, your assumptions are hlthe2b Aug 2019 #35
Just let the thorough investigation happen. brush Aug 2019 #36
That is what I have been saying. YOu on the other hand have been accusing others of hlthe2b Aug 2019 #37
You seem to not understand. I and many others were accused of pushing CTs because... brush Aug 2019 #39
I think there are some people here who think that by claiming any speculation or questioning of smirkymonkey Aug 2019 #40
Amen! I get pretty disgruntled about that very thing. triron Aug 2019 #46
But this breakage CAN OCCUR whilst hanging oneself. Let's just gloss over that part. Not buying UniteFightBack Aug 2019 #4
What seems to be being glossed over is such a breakage most often occurs during strangulation. brush Aug 2019 #6
I'm betting the part being left out is when it DOES happen via hanging ... mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #8
More likely it's just the opposite FBaggins Aug 2019 #13
The relative % of each method is not relevant to my point ... mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #17
It isn't uncommon for hanging to result in a broken neck FBaggins Aug 2019 #28
Fair enough but somebody strangling you is likely to be exhibiting a lot more concentrated force mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #41
I confess that my speculation was at about the limits of my understanding - likely beyond FBaggins Aug 2019 #43
Well-reasoned ... I think we've more or less reached a consensus ... (nt) mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #44
ok, i'm just speculating, but mopinko Aug 2019 #7
Agreed ... I'd bet in cases it happens during hanging, it's during SUSPENDED hangings ... mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #9
What is a good height? nt UniteFightBack Aug 2019 #11
far enough to actually drop. mopinko Aug 2019 #12
Approximately one millimeter MORE than the height at which the tips of your feet can touch the floor mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #19
He was reportedly kneeling, not dangling. LisaL Aug 2019 #32
My point exactly ;) (nt) mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #45
Exactly right. Zoonart Aug 2019 #27
Not from this height: dalton99a Aug 2019 #10

This particular sample set and methodology seems like a sound choice ... mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #20
Since you asked, I think your post is sick. Wanting to hang people is something the right says. n/t zackymilly Aug 2019 #21
This is a really disgusting post. Agschmid Aug 2019 #26
It is sort of like a Catch-22 BigmanPigman Aug 2019 #15
It is my understanding that most prisons/jails have low ceilings..... ProudMNDemocrat Aug 2019 #16
The more important piece is not the height of the ceiling, it's the availability of things to hang mr_lebowski Aug 2019 #22
jeez... this is always going to be a conspiracy theory. 912gdm Aug 2019 #18
Yes, the drum beat needs to get loud for Barr to lose his job. NBachers Aug 2019 #23
And maybe a LOT more than that! sweetroxie Aug 2019 #24
Who's going to fire him? llmart Aug 2019 #31
Since when MFM008 Aug 2019 #29
Wasn't there some "shrieking " going on, also? secondwind Aug 2019 #30
Well... yeah... but who knows with this guy? FBaggins Aug 2019 #33
Not buying one can shriek when hanging oneself. You can if you're getting murdered though. brush Aug 2019 #47
The hyoid and multiple cervical vertebrae were broken jpak Aug 2019 #38
It's definitely stinky unless Epstein had brittle bones. Vinca Aug 2019 #42
