domestic violence or gang banger related. Or something much more sinister.

I wouldn't be surprised if Synder ordered the hit on the women.

he's more than a little bit desperate.

Unless there is some evidence that she knew more than any of the other people suing, it's hard to believe this is anything more than a tragic shooting.

That usually means she would know details that others don't about the case

You should absolutely not rely on mainstream news reporting for any kind of legal insight. Part of why I got into studying law in the first place was frustration with the consistently poor reporting of legal cases I was interested in - eventually I just started reading judicial opinions instead of news reports in order to figure out what had actually happened. Most people in the media are too stupid/lazy to understand the workings of the legal system, and their readers are one level worse informed again.

She was among the first plaintiffs to file, but in class-action type suits the actual knowledge and expertise goes through the lawyers. The first plaintiff on the docket is sort of a figurehead but need not have any special insight into the facts of the case. Someone's name has to be on the case and it's generally the first person to file on behalf of themselves and similarly situated plaintiffs.

You always seem angry.

even if these deaths are just a coincidence.

Looks REALLY bad.

Looks like Snyder has some 'splainin' to do.

... how could anyone stack this up as a mere coincidence? I say get Erin Brochovich (sp?) and the Fed up there pronto, whose presence might stop the mysterious deaths now as well as eventually get to the bottom of the mess.

If these aren't coincidences, then maybe there's something even bigger Snyder's trying to cover up.

come on, out with your CT

I guaran-damn-tee it ain't lizards from outer space.

roll, the very definition...provoke a response then say "how the fuck should I know". That's not even interesting drolling. yeah ignore list for you bye

You're the one trollin here.
You're the one getting your comments flagged all the time.
You're the one projecting.
And you're ignoring me because I call you out on your BS and you can't stand it.

How old are you?

Run down to post #20 in this thread by DU member "heaven05". I think that will hep you understand what might be going on in Flint, MI. Peace.

& 54.

paranoid conspiracy theories are not healthy

You don't live very long on this earth unless you've got your eyes and ears and gray matter in between scrutinizing what's around the corner. People can tell what is a conspiracy theory and what's not. People who aren't leery and just go along to get along, la-la-la-tra-la skipping down the road of life, allowing themselves to be used and manipulated are the ones who are not healthy.

Uhnope? I don't think I have ever noticed you this disgruntled before. What gives?

but most people would say I'm usually much worse than this.

I agree with being leery & skeptical, but there is a line over which lies paranoia & irrationality. I think that collectively we're being more that way all the time (the Internet fosters it) so I tend to try to balance that out.

Put it this way--I'm leery & skeptical of CTs, too.

Empirically, the laws of probability and outcome do not bode well for the arguments of coincidence.

This duel demise of key persons is alarming

The timing of the deaths of these particular people kinda makes it hard to believe it's a coincidence.

If theses deaths are as many suspect, then there's probably something else going on in addition to the lead in the water scandal.

remember the fleecinings by "Managers"

and how a million signatures to correct...were invalidated...due to fonts and paper poundage ratios

To many other scandals nationwide to keep up with all of 'em.

For 2 years the fleecings eere running amok

There even was a manager stating it was against the law to have rule of law....which is why over a million voters signed to end the mangers protocol

Fascism is...as fascism does

Yeah, blatant fascism there.

These guys do what they want, and laws be damned

Yeah... along those lines.

the truth already did come out. This has been one of the biggest scandals of the year.

So what is the implication of this OP--the truth hasn't come out, and the water was really poisoned by lizards from outer space, and that must be covered up (even though these deaths won't affect the investigations at all)? Given that thousands and even tens of thousands will be covered in the lawsuits, is it really the implication that assassinating one is going to be a priority for the PTB Star Chamber or whoever? By the way, who is the whoever--do you think the governor has a team of sophisticated assassins in his employ?

it's possible they already knew that changing to the river water would have this effect.
it's possible someone made a still to be discovered shit-ton of money.
Despite the circumstantial evidence... this could just be three really conveniently timed coincidences.
THAT is what people are curious about.
since the * pResidency, the number of REAL government conspiracies has actually gone up!
the cronyism that started in * reign of error has carried over...and only gotten worse it seems.

What these 2 knew

& one lowly poisoning victim knows all the secrets how?

There are already thousands of defendants in these Flint lawsuits, btw.

Of importance to the issue, died untimely

Warrants further investigations

gee, you got it all figured out, huh? "Lowly". Not really important, right? That's what you're saying with "one lowly poising victim"? Gee, got it all figured out and diminishing and distracting from the importance of these deaths. Well you got it all figured out, case done, finished and shelved, right? Have you even studied the effects of lead poisoning over a long period of time on a mass populace? With most of that populace being AA, didn't matter to a lot of people until they got caught in their lies and intent. I just don't understand purpose of "lowly" being used to describe a highly suspcious murder of someone involved from the beginning that made disclosure of these criminals in the stategovernment possible. "Lowly".

So...yeah.

concerning the OP about charges being brought against 'low level' officials in snyders administration and now these 'coincidental' killings of prominent people in the Flint water poisoning case. The sacrificial lambs are being led to the slaughter and slaughtered to 'save' the careers of the fascists that knew about this mass poisoning much earlier than they admit and possibly to try to intimidate the others involved in the lawsuit against top REPUBLICAN officials in the snyder administration. This seems pretty messy, but hell murder by PTB would be nothing new, to keep secrets, power and to maintain control of a situation that could cause potential damage, politically, to a person like snyder who would like to keep his RW legacy as clean as possible, especially if he say...wanted to run for POTUS down the road which I heard mentioned at one time in the mess media.

Murder IS NOT beneath people like snyder, et al.

... DU member "uhnope" reads your post. He needs some help understanding what's going down with all these "coincidental" deaths in Flint. Thanks.

one is just a victim...there are tens of thousands more like her. She (RIP) doesn't know anything about the case except that she drank from the tap. Her death will not affect the case at all.

So then you have just one death of someone who worked at the plant. One person--not much of a pattern. BTW, since the poisoning came from a decision to use a different water source, workers at the plant had nothing to do with it.

And you think the governor has a death squad killing people in a sophisticated variety of ways. Wow.

This is crazed, too-much-Hollywood groundless paranoid conspiracy theory that's insulting to the actual victims of the water poisoning.

Otherwise, it's funny & entertaining.

your understanding of this situation is typical of the diminish and distract crowd. You are entiled to your spin, which is, believe me, understood in a way that does not reflect well on your relating to issues surrounding this mass poisoning in this particular community. I WILL continue to follow this situation in spite of your flawed understanding of what's important here, with the hundreds of thousands of poison victims being just one of the important factors surrounding the cause, subsequent attempted cover-up and final exposure of state government malfeasance reaching all the way into the governors office. Have a good day.

not as good as showing where I'm wrong in my reasoning, but nice otherwise

that's about all it takes in most cases. if you were in the middle of this case instead of on the sidelines chanting CT, i can guarantee it would silence you. or would you be the hero, with no chance for personal gain, only to live in fear the rest of you life? doesn't sound like it based on your posts.

doesn't take a death squad to get someone killed. 500 bucks or a bag of X,Y, or Z drug and an address.

as long as they can hire someone to do it for them.

or to each other except by timing.

Those of us familiar with Mississippi history might take a different view on suspicion that nothing helps coincidence along like a political hierarchy threatened by scandal and investigation. That is not an unreasonable proposition given the circumstances, the administration involved and the apparent level of political corruption which has been revealed thus far.

I don't necessarily suspect Snyder, though I do not rule his office or his cronies out. I would not be surprised to find someone lower on the political food chain has a hand in these deaths. If so I doubt these will be the last victims, sadly.

Both die within days, The man was only 43 and police have no idea of how he even died? I hope the police stay on top of this, Could be interesting.

like you did here http://www.democraticunderground.com/110843872

and are generally known for extreme, um, "interesting" US-always-to-blame politics. (Are you aware you linked to Axis of Logic in that thread, run by a known anti-Semite?)

So sure you have a mutual-respect society going with UFO conspiracy theoriest in that obscure little corner.

on edit: My "excuse" is that I don't like irrationality and political conspiracy theorists, especially when it clashes with human rights and progressive politics.

I'll just leave this here.

...YOU ARE THE WORST!

What are you really trying to tell US today?

Call the conspiracy police. Who cares.

I hope an honest investigation can be done regarding the circumstances of her murder, and the culprits be held accountable.

RIP.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

madness caused by lead in the water.

but we shall remained seized of the situation.

For once, I'm skeptical about it being a coincidence.

in Flint.

"The lawsuit named six companies that had various responsibilities with respect to the treatment, monitoring, and safety of the Flint water prior to and during the Flint water crisis, according to her attorneys. The case also named three individual government, or former government, employees who played significant roles in the alleged misconduct that led to the alleged poisoning of thousands of children in Flint, her attorneys claim"

They have a suspect in custody per the op article.

If there's one thing history has proven it's that greedy evil people never kill for money.
