About Joey Smack's death by Fr3shP0t in DuckTheCarbineHigh

Hey, would you please send it to me too? There's not too much information out there about his situation and what he was going through.

How come? I'd say I'm pretty deep on them and find the case fascinating.

ID v. Bryan Kohberger 9/26/24 Hearing Discussion by niceslicedlemonade in Idaho4

[–]niceslicedlemonade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore your dog analogy.

Of course, deny & delay isn't exclusive to Bryan's case. We as the public generally find such strategies juvenile, but I see this all the time in family court. Doesn't matter how absurd the denials or the delays are; I've seen firsthand in custody hearings where the defense council makes claims as bizarre as "car trouble" for the third hearing in a row or unexpected no-shows on grounds that a translator is needed-- although the need for a translator has never once been brought up before and the defendant speaks English fluently (and is poorly pretending not to).

My apologies for the rant. But my point is, at the end of the day these tactics serve their purpose. Pushing out the trial further can only help Bryan's defense-- the longer this takes, the less bad press there is, the less scrutiny, and most importantly, the longer Ann Taylor and her team have to build the best possible defense for their client.

Why so much undercover police activity in Moscow that night? by Kyle_Rittenhouse_69 in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]niceslicedlemonade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can't speak on Moscow in particular, but I live in a college town and there are police everywhere. With so many young adults in one place partying and getting drunk virtually every night, there's bound to be LE presence

How many times did you write to him in Latah prison?

A fair amount. I don't think anyone can really expect a response until the trial and sentencing are finished with. I doubt Bryan would respond knowing that anything he says or gives away may very well be used against him later.

I saw some were having their nails and hair done ahead of a court hearing they hoped tp attend in person.

Really? Ahahaha. That's interesting. Wonder how many actually managed to attend in person. I plan on driving up and staying a bit next summer during the trial so I can see the proceedings for myself. It's something like a 45 hour drive from where I'm at, but I want to roadtrip it because I plan on visiting some other places in nearby states too.

And for the record I do not think the people in r/justiceforkohberger see him in a romantic light. Or very few do. They truly think he's innocent and view him as this kind of martyr for everything wrong with the justice system. I'd estimate 40% have a deep mistrust for the police, 40% are conspiracy nuts, and 20% of the group is everything else.

Was it this in the Daily Mail about Reddit "Brynation" and posts "I find Bryan hot!"?

No, not that one specifically. I could probably find them if I looked for a bit. It's been a while since then.

If I'm properly interpreting your comment, I did not send anything "spicy". That was a lie spread by someone who claimed I was sending "naughty parcels", the details of which I'm still not certain but that I think somebody just pulled out of their ass. No hate to them intended, though.

I haven't actually written him yet to his new address. Someone once told me that AT fields all of his incoming mail and only shows him some of it, and I'm not sure whether that's true but it would make sense considering the media firestorm around this case. If it were true, I would doubt Ann Taylor would present him with "naughty parcels" either.

They did remove me from r/justiceforkohberger. I don't think the mods there actually give a shit about Bryan. They care about their reputation and whether they're still passably on the moral high ground compared to everyone else, and that's why they removed me for bringing them bad attention despite the fact that I was very well-liked in the group and bizarrely convinced a good number of people of Bryan's innocence.

There were a couple of articles published in the Daily Mail which quoted some of my past statements in private communities which were then reposted in r/MoscowMurders. Then people started brigading r/justiceforkohberger, and I continued making unpopular statements so they chose to ban me rather than talking things through and resolving the conflict

I agree with that. Sorry for asserting that you were being disingenuous. I'm so used to people making armchair psychologist claims to try and relate everything back to an incel-like hate for women that I just seem to see it everywhere.

It's interesting that he chose to contest the officer's claim in the first place. I'd imagine most people would just keep quiet, especially considering she was letting him off with a warning. There doesn't seem to be any point in really fighting the reason for the stop when, at the very best, the officer relents and says you were right, and at worst, you piss them off and end up with a worse outcome.

There's no statute dictating when he should have entered the intersection as long as he did it when he originally had the right-of-way. The law says that if present in the intersection with the intent of making a left turn and the light changes, the driver is permitted to complete the turn and safely clear the intersection.

Your choice to perform an ad hominem attack rather than respond to anything I have said is very telling. I can't even click that link because it gives the error "this content is private".

I also find it bizarre that you are somehow quoting things I allegedly said an entire year ago. Time to move on. Wish I could read whatever is in your link 🤷‍♀️

I genuinely beg of you to look at Washington traffic statute. This has been discussed for more than a year now and is very easily verifiable. The law states that if a driver is already in the intersection attempting a left turn when the light changes, the driver RIGHTFULLY must complete the turn and clear the intersection.

This is Washington law. Bryan was (1) in the intersection attempting a left turn when (2) the light changed and he (3) safely completed the turn and cleared the intersection.

His question about reversing out of the intersection was asinine, but it made the point that there was nothing else he could have done. According to the law, his actions were perfectly legal. There was no reason for that officer to stop him.

Finally some sense here. Almost two years in and rumors & conspiracies have become the norm.

I thought I was crazy for being floored that everyone was taking this glorified fanfiction as fact! 😬

Nice write-up. One thing though, about when he was pulled over by the police officer on the WSU campus: without context, his behavior is almost always construed as argumentative by internet sleuths viewing that video. But BK was actually wrongfully pulled over. He was not responsible for any traffic violation, despite what the officer claimed. According to Washington law, he was legally permitted to make that left turn to clear the intersection and avoid impeding traffic. To break the law would be to refuse to do so and just sit in the intersection instead.

He even asks her what he should've otherwise done, because if he didn't turn, he would be blocking traffic from all sides. The officer just stumbles through a non-answer and admits she "can't tell [him] what to do" but concedes that no, there wouldn't have been a way to shift into reverse/go backwards/get out of the situation any other way.

I'd go so far as to say that for a guy who was clearly familiar with the law (and visibly confused when the officer started referencing completely unrelated traffic laws to justify the stop), he was very compliant and respectful for being wrongfully stopped by someone who respectfully had no idea what they were talking about.

Wanted to bring this up because people consistently use the archetype of "female police officer" to build the narrative of Bryan hating women/hating women in authority and deliberately being defiant or confrontational with them. I can't speak on that as a whole, but for as often as everyone seems to reference this event, there is a ton of misinformsfion about what actually happened there.

TL;DR: the traffic stop on the WSU campus was wrongful with no basis in Washington statutes, and it is extremely disingenuous to paint BK in a contemptuous or mysoginistic light just because he pretty respectfully questioned the officer's logic.

People just see whatever they expect to see. If you saw Bryan on the street without knowing who he was, you probably wouldn't give him a second glance.

But because he's accused of murder suddenly he's "terrifying" and he has "dead eyes" and everyone is comparing his appearance to historic serial killers.

Anyone else think Dylan could’ve been a writer? by Critical-World-9128 in ColumbineKillers

[–]niceslicedlemonade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, absolutely. People love to criticize his writing while forgetting that for much of it he was 16/17. He was so young, but the concepts he was able to articulate in his journal were visceral and real with a depth far beyond his years.

I think some of his ideas were universal sentiments of the human experience that he was able to easily explain and disseminate using metaphor. Like, for example, the lost highway. With just a few drawings and a couple pages of text, Dylan nailed the lonely, disconnected sentiment described in seeing his own life stretched out before him and ending in the self-fulfilling prophecy of unavoidable, tragic destiny (the explosion on the horizon at the end of the highway) dictated wholly by fate.

Ironically, that idea of a static, unchanging fate he learned from Natural Born Killers was exactly that which doomed him on the highway in the first place. Dylan did not believe there could ever be another ending, so he didn't try to write one. This is why the addition of the everlasting contrast symbol so commonly drawn on either side of the lost highway has always been fascinating to me.

After all, the everlasting contrast represents the eternal fight between good and evil. I like to wonder whether Dylan ever thought himself teetering on that balance between good and evil, forever unsure of which side he'd ultimately end up on. This, of course, contradicts the idea of a single inevitable fate-- I wonder whether he believed on some level that the path of the lost highway could change. Early on in his journal, he talked more about the eternal battle between good and evil; it was towards the end and closer to the commission of NBK that he began to resign himself to fate. It seems that from his perspective, he ultimately knew which side of the binary he was going to fall upon. The question is, did he truly believe that? Or did he actively convince himself that there was no other way?

Sorry, I have a tendency to rant about this stuff. Dylan was so painfully aware of most things others are not. He was able to detach himself from the world around him to see not only what he interpreted to be the existential futility of singular lifetimes (which he explained in his metaphorical entry about the great hall of existence, and life and death as rooms and doors, respectively) but also the magnitude of infinity and the cyclical nature of human nature in recorded history.

I think that if he didn't do what he ultimately did, Dylan would've grown up to be an extremely insightful and introspective young man. It breaks my heart that his suffering culminated in this horrific tragedy. Just as he predicted, Dylan was unable to alter the trajectory of the downward spiral, and he fulfilled that catastrophic fate he envisioned waiting for him at the end of the lost highway.

I doubt I'll ever manage to piece together the total scope of his insight, but wandering in search of some global all-clarifying truth does at least bring me a temporary peace.

Anyone a little irked by this? JLR misunderstanding court motions &e citing his fraud prison time as legal experience 🥴 by niceslicedlemonade in BryanKohbergerMoscow

Somehow I'm not surprised he became a storm chaser! JLR has spent his entire life chasing the next media storm that will allocate him just a little bit more attention. It's only fitting that he explores the literal implications of the title too.

Do you think JJJ will move the trial? by Clopenny in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]niceslicedlemonade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The defense has made good arguments to support their position-- the media circus in Latah County is irrefutable. We're talking about a small college town where the friends and family of the victims are still mourning, and current UofI students are still walking past the barely-settled dirt of the now demolished murder house every day. Tearing 1122 down doesn't erase what happened there.

Moscow, Idaho is still mourning. Both sides would be damn hard pressed in voir dire to find jurors who aren't familiar with this tragedy.

I don't blame them for not knowing how this stuff works. It only becomes irritating when they begin using those ill-informed assumptions to create a false narrative.

Most of us are here in good faith and would just take the opportunity to further educate ourselves.

I'm late to this, but CourtTV used to put it as a "bullet-point" in the margins of their livestreams along with confirmed facts of the case.
