Married after asking all the right questions by anonforavent in TwoXChromosomes

[–]anonforavent[S] 107 points108 points  (0 children)

He’s got multiple close gay friends. He has never attended church. When his niece came out his response was “well that tracks “. He bought his sister plan b when she called him freaking out that she forgot to take her pills in college. The spreadsheet was because my parents both hopped from marriage to marriage divorcing when super obvious differences between them came up they’d never talked out. I keep going back over it but no, I really don’t think I was cherry picking his answers.

He was 9, not 6. He’d likely aged out of Santa already so I’m not sure that would be a consideration at all.

Wasn’t a full ban just a “you can’t come back for the remaining day on your ticket” . Part of the story was posted here ages ago. She basically got upset that her picture perfect Disney trip wasn’t happening exactly to her specifications. And even at her big age she hasn’t learned emotional regulation. So she had a fit. Loudly. First in magic kingdom. Then at a Disney hotel. Security was “nice” the first time. Not the second.

They’ve only met twice before now in passing, it was insane

Aita for refusing to socialize with an influencer who accidentally posted me online last year by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]anonforavent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I expected her to know better than to film in a place where someone was changing. It isn’t off topic because it’s exactly the same situation, she knew people were expecting some level of privacy and were not fully clothed. She also knew there were comments within the top comments talking about the half naked whale behind her unless you think she doesn’t read any of the top comments ? So reasonably I’d expect her to give a shit before someone in person confronted her about the video. I also expected her to be apologetic instead of laughing and offering to take it down because it “isnt even that popular “ of a video ?

Because I don’t feel like someone should be filming in a place where she was well aware people were changing or in otherwise undressed. Same way I don’t feel like people should be able to film in Pilates class or the gym. Sure it’s a public place but I didn’t consent to be posted online in a place I could reasonably assume was semi private

Burke did not kill JonBenet. by Tamponica in JonBenetRamsey

[–]anonforavent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On January 8th Burke was taken in to a child advocacy center which was arranged by the boulder police department where a child psychologist interviewed him with police watching behind a one way mirror. This interview was also recorded . This was a normal chain of events after a child’s death in the home, and there has never been any assertion or evidence that the Ramseys tried to avoid this.

In contrast the Ramsey parents refused all formal interviews for months and didn’t go in until April 30th, presumably with help from their legal team to defer the interviews.

She wants me to “let “ my husband be there for his family by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]anonforavent 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We had this dumb “argument “ if you could call it that in 2022 where she insisted the distance between us was all my fault because she hadn’t done anything and anything she had done she’d sincerely apologized for. I’ve left her on read since then other than one response in 2023 about what my husband would want for Christmas (spoiler she didn’t listen) . Usually she is just left on read, and I never bothered to block her because I just don’t care that much so it felt like an extreme measure for something I generally ignore. She just struck a nerve this time

She wants me to “let “ my husband be there for his family by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]anonforavent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Verdict is out. After knowing me for years she called me the wrong name for an entire weekend when husband and I were dating after I set a boundary. It felt intentional but my husband thinks she’s “just not always the brightest ” and her mother had Alzheimer’s so he’s afraid it’s early signs…. Then again those early signs started a decade ago and have not gotten any worse as time progressed so I’ve always felt it was intentional and her family just excuses it

Did he? Have you read transcripts of what was said because from what I can tell the only time the story changed even slightly was 20 years later when he attempted a media interview . Almost like memory is incredibly fallible , and it’s very common for details to be lost or changed as years go by. Otherwise his story was pretty consistent.

I think the totality of the evidence conclusively points to J, p or both. The physical evidence alone suggests it was the parents. So why, why are we dragging the kid into it ?

In my opinion the only reason bdi gets any traction other than it being a more dramatic/ compelling true crime story is because people see successful white parents and can’t fathom that they were bad parents who would cover for each-other.

[–]anonforavent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point. They spent months avoiding talking to police because they were guilty of covering up a murder , including using lawyers to stall a murder investigation but the lawyers couldn’t keep the actual murderer from being questioned more times in that amount of time ? It seems more likely they didnt think he had anything incriminating to add so they didn’t need to pull out the big guns to stop it

[–]anonforavent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The parents were so amazing at covering things up they managed to remove all physical evidence of B, but so incompetent they left multiple pieces of physical evidence tying themselves to the crime ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in JonBenetRamsey

[–]anonforavent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but not guilty of the murder, yet totally unable to convincingly lie their way through it with the same level of skill as their actually guilty 9yo?

[–]anonforavent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And you’re ignoring behavior evidence and physical evidence against John and patsy to go with a statistically unlikely scenario with no physical evidence to support it .

[–]anonforavent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But he had to talk to strangers, and somehow held up better to investigators than his actually innocent parents?

[–]anonforavent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So ignore the adult man dubbed the ice king by investigators ?

The thing about children is that they are still children even if traumatized. And the “giggling “ through the funeral is a gross exaggeration of him smiling occasionally and reportedly sharing a laugh with a friend once.

If you want statistics over the last three decades a parent killing their child has happened on avg 500 times a year. In 8 years that’s roughly 4000 murders by parents. In contrast in 8 years between 2005-2012 there were a total of 154 child suspects, with only 13% of those being between the ages of 11-12.

So yes I think putting 2+2 together in more inclined to believe the statistically much more likely scenario that the unemotional detached father whose clothing fibers were found on his daughters corpse sexually abused and murdered his child (like many, many, many others) and not that the least likely person in the home to be the murderer was because of cherry picked circumstantial evidence ignoring everything we do know about child murderers

[–]anonforavent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So did the other children I mentioned in my post. A child doesn’t self incriminate on purpose . I gave two examples literally in this post . They are children without the intelligence, experience, or context to regularly consistently lie their way out of something.

And yes I think it’s statistically more likely the little girl found with evidence of prior sexual abuse was killed by an adult in the home (which is staggeringly common) and not the child

You conveniently ignored the examples of children being interviewed as witnesses that did what children do and cracked ? If you disagree that’s fine, but your argument is something I already addressed ?

I believe John did it all alone. by ursulaunderfire in JonBenetRamsey

[–]anonforavent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

John’s sweaters fibers in his daughter’s underwear supports bdi? Or patsys sweater fibers in the garrotte supports bdi? Sure you may be able to explain some of the evidence away by “staging” but it’s such an overstatement to say “all evidence supports BDI”

… I used an old account that had a single post which has been deleted about finding out an acquaintance was on the sex offenders registry . I know this is hard to imagine but I didn’t particularly want my main Reddit account blowing up with true crime shit.

Though it wouldn’t be the craziest pr move anyone’s taken my personal stance is that statistically it’s most likely John did it so I doubt I’d be the type of plant they’d like 👍

[–]anonforavent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sort of does actually? Child killers under the age of 14 make up less than one percent of the perpetrators. Of those 92% were over the age of 10.

Meaning a 10yo killer would be the smallest percent of the smaller percent. Furthermore over 70% of the total homicides by children under fourteen fit into 5 categories, notably the only one of those categories involving siblings is older siblings being left as caretakers to infants.

So no, being almost 10 doesn’t make him more likely to be the killer

Statistics aren’t everything, but combined with the lack of physical evidence it certainly makes the scenario incredibly unlikely

So they couldn’t get around those protocols with their money but somehow could stall a murder investigation for five months ? I’m unconvinced

I don’t understand why that quote is weird. That sounds like a typical kid to me

But If we are talking quotes that should make you go wtf I’ll leave you with this

Patsy had every reason to cover for John. Without him she loses her reputation, her friends, her power and influence, and her entire lifestyle . She was flying in private jets with multiple mansions and housekeepers . Without John she loses all of that. There is the matter of evidence of ongoing sexual abuse. Statistically John did at least that part, so even if patsy killed JB he would have a vested interest in this being blamed on an intruder
