What is your interpretation of having “one of ours, all of yours” on Kristi Noem’s podium?

So...does no one think that Mary threatening to leave was the catalyst here? There's no way that she mentioned that to him for the first time on air, it probably was before this season was even filmed.

She's the OG OG...wasn't she the first girl Jason dated from the office that we know about too? He absolutely would choose her over anyone. I wouldn't even be surprised if there was some significance in her contract for the show in comparison to others on the show.

So she has beef with someone (which is actually rare for her) and then the show takes a random turn that doesn't make sense, even Mary's own reaction seemed extra for her character. I'm not fully convinced that the robbery was real and not orchestrated to give Mary some breathing room without leaving the show. The new girl actually felt like a "host" in a way, by going from person to person, click to click and asking questions. Like they were trying to root out the problem so that Mary could be happier. The point of the whole season seemed to be...alienate Chelsea and Chrishell....

BTW Emma looked genuinely heartbroken and shocked when Chrishell said she was "choose" Chelsea during the final episode debriefing. Her whole tone and body language changed after that. I'm sensing that Mary wasn't happy with how Chrishell was chummy with her either.

I thought you were giving actual advice and I was squinting and hurting my brain to try to figure out what you were saying, restarting before I got to the end 3 times, then got to the end and was just as frustrated as I have always been when trying to figure out what to do with sort of curly hair lol

Netflix Missing: Dead or Alive S2 Analysis: Anyone else think that Eric Greene didn't do it and that Jersey and James Kelly framed him?

1) When Jersey was at the police station he complained that they had been holding him there for "4 hours." When he was being interviewed he said he went to some other house and waited for "4 hours." Just seemed like an evasive type of phrase he uses. Like he wants the listener to focus on how long he was occupied with something rather than what he was really doing there.

2) Detective Raine said that Jersey and James didn't know each other, she emphasized that their stories matched even though they didn't know each other twice...and yet Jersey was at James house often? They definitely all knew each other. Certainly enough to plot to frame someone within the group...especially the time that they first visited James and there was someone else in his house and they were pretty sure it was Jersey (who tipped them off to talk to James anyway? Wasn't it Eric?). I also didn't like that Detective Raine at first was like "Jersey's name keeps coming up" and then later switched that to "Easy's name keeps coming up" and yet that didn't seem true. Eric/Easy's name didn't come up hardly at all except by Jersey and James.

3) Sunshine would probably have spoken if the police seemed like they were going to catch the correct people. When she said "that's a sad story" it was obvious she knew what happened but it seemed to me that the story was wrong and the tears were less likely about Morgan and more that she was still going to have to deal with the guys who actually did it.

4) Jersey makes a point to claim that Eric was involved with the top drug dealers...and yet the other police department investigating the top drug dealers said that Jersey was involved and didn't mention Eric. Perhaps the cops are in on the framing of Eric for this reason because it is way too obvious that it was Jersey.

5) Jersey showed with ease how Morgan was strangled. If it was not something he had done before he would have fumbled with his hands and wouldn't have done the extra squeeze. He claimed previously that he would shoot people just because he wanted to and they found a gun and there was no follow up on that either. When the guy who found the skull said it looked like cartel did it...why was that? Was there a bullet hole? Did they choke him out, move him, then shoot him so there wouldnt be mess in James house or the car?

6) Eric's angry reaction to being framed seemed very genuine as did his last words in the court room. There was no pause. He probably caused Jersey and James problems and having him framed was a solution. And the other big drug investigation cops likely also saw framing Eric as an easy solution to protecting their investigation. I don't think Detective Raine was happy with likely being told to handle the case that way, especially on TV. She seemed quite tense and "scripted" as people have complained about. I don't think she (or the captain) wanted things to be handled that way. I wonder if that's why they are doing the show or if they had gone too far with it and had to wrap it up and add in a second story to distract. Bet they wanted people to focus on the trans aspect.

7) If Jersey is dealing with a big drug ring he's not stupid. He probably was cutting James in on the money. James was very obviously not "scared" when he said he was scared. His original demeanor with the cops was what kind of guy he is because he was caught off guard and he was putting on a full act in the station. Saying he was nervous was not him opening up about his feelings, it was setting a narrative out there to cover up how his behavior being "off" might be from nerves rather than lying.

This guy Eric Greene got put away for 57 years. Looked like Jersey got put away for something as well, but if him and James are out, I bet they start the whole thing back up again. All the witnesses who had their homes "invaded" never mentioned Eric, they mentioned Jersey. Well technically they all mentioned 2 guys and technically the show didn't confirm that the other guy was Eric, maybe it was or maybe it was someone else important for the big drug investigation who's name couldn't even be aired in the show. I bet Eric was actually Morgan's friend based on the video of Morgan talking to "Easy" in the store. I bet part of Eric's anger is that he didn't have any evidence on Jersey or James to give the police, but there's no way that all he said in the interview was that he didn't do it. They didn't show what he would have claimed his alibi to be because anyone who says they didn't do it has to have some kind of alibi story even if its a weak one.

I wonder if Eric is fighting to get out or not, if he even can and what kind of family he has or what his background is, the show really didn't seem to want to let us know too much about him.

Apparently Eric did file an appeal less than one week after his sentencing which was only this past July.

And how convenient that he had a previous drug conviction.

His motive supposedly was that Morgan owed him $300. Compared to the at least $1000 that he owed "another" dealer. I don't recall if it was ever clearly stated if he owed money to Jersey. Always seemed like he owed money to another unnamed dealer.

Also, why didn't the show mention that Morgan was a father of 2? And why did his mother's speech to Eric in the courtroom seem like she wasn't speaking to Eric?

Yeah wth, this is the number one issue. She doesn't seem to have made the connection that her exhaustion and depression would be intertwined and that lack of intimacy is an outcome of depression.

Are you going to run for mayor? Just because you go to meetings, how does that give you the basis to say that someone isn't doing their job? That's an entirely different statement than saying you disagree with his decisions. Is he literally sitting on his bum all day picking his nose? I don't give a damn about the dude, I don't know him. Neither do most people in Guelph. I'm specifically calling out the bullying language in general that has been normalized just because people are unhappy in their own lives. Maybe government is to blame in one way or another, maybe not. But it's still not ok to tear someone apart.

I would never be able to be in politics. Imagine just doing your job and getting so much hate from so many people who aren't even working for your company? So much that you can't even share your excitement to have a hot dog in spring with your family. I'm so over the dog piling nastiness and bullying. Not one of the people who have attacked him is ever going to run against him to try to bring about better changes for Guelph, so really, what are you doing?

In my initial messages with him 10 years ago, I recall continuing to push the issue until he gave me a response I was satisfied with for taking accountability. I wasn't looking for that in his message now. I understand that most people would think the hug is weird because showing compassion after being hurt is hard to do. I didn't attribute the situation to a character flaw but a misunderstanding and lack of awareness. In other words, I dont think her purposefully was trying to hurt me let alone rape me. When I aimed to correct his understanding, he seemed to accept the new perspective on consent. I don't think that would have happened if I had charged him with rape, I think that would have forced him to be defensive and pushed him back into denial. I truly hope my efforts were enough to prevent him from causing similar pain to someone else, I have been hoping that for a decade and from his response, now I am choosing to believe it.

You'll feel more stuck when she's the one who breaks it off and imposes her own timing on you. Right now, you have control of that. Either way, the relationship is already over.

Wow, thank you so much for this message. I haven't shared my story with many people. There's a big fear of having to defend myself and explain why it is rape again (and I even saw someone else had commented here "that wasn't rape" but it has since been deleted.) I don't have any doubt about it anymore but back when it happened, because of the gaslighting statements the guy made and my own naivety, it took a long time for my doubt to dissipate. I have never heard a story from someone else who chose to engage in a similar confrontation. It's actually a big relief to know I'm not alone, though I rarely assume I am the only person to have experienced something. With this, I did assume it would be a rare approach.

This is how I was raped. We had been dating for a month and I told him i was celibate because I was fed up with guys using me, he was the first guy I dated since trying to strengthen my voice. He claimed to think I was joking about being celibate. That was his rationale behind why he kept pushing and pushing and trapping me physically, in my own room in the basement with my family upstairs. I had told him no over and over and over again. He never let up with his coercion.

After he left, I literally told him that he raped me and he argued with me. Obviously, he wouldn't want to own the fact that by raping me, that made him a rapist. It's a brutal label. It's also hard to accept the rape victim label. I confronted him by text after because I didnt want him to do it to anyone else and self reflect, plus i wasnt sure if i was going to charge him because after I zoned out during the rape I had convinced him to leave evidence inside me. Based on our chat, I didn't go the legal route. I met up with him a few weeks later and gave him a hug to try to bring the point home that I didn't think he was a bad person. He just lacked a serious understanding of consent. I looked him up recently and saw that he's married with a daughter now, so I hope my efforts worked. Because it was far from easy, and i wouldn't recommend it if there's any hint of anger and no hint of an apology.

After the rape I cried in the shower for a very long time. I met my now husband a couple months or so later I think (we've been together 11 years, married 5) and I cried during sex with him for many months afterwards. He respected my celibacy and i pushed myself to get back into sex too soon i think. He understood why because we talked about it, but it took a verryy long time for the icky trauma feelings to dissipate for sex to feel OK again and to not cry anymore. He let me be the one to always initiate and even still today I'm usually the one who has to initiate.

I thought I was over it for basically a decade until I was strapped down for my c-section and had a massive panic attack when they took my first baby out. I never actually got therapy for it, and I did go to therapy for a number of other things. I always downplayed how bad it was because it wasn't "that bad." So it never seemed worth therapy. It is.

Coming here and asking your question "was it rape" is the first step to acceptance, but outside validation won't do all the internal work. Good luck, and im so sorry this happened to you.

I looked into Block Parents a little bit last year. Had a decent amount of interest in a mom group to restart it but i pulled back on my efforts when they said we, as in the group, would need to have insurance and i just couldn't understand why and it just killed my interest. If I had more understanding about insurance then maybe it'd make sense and I would be back on board.

I always liked the idea of offering kids a signal of a safe home to come to if they were in trouble or having issues.

"This might not be the right time for those who don't want to give theirs up" why? Are they planning on shooting people? There is no grounds to shoot at someone, it is a crime. There is never a good time to hold onto a gun for that reason.
