    Default Gabby Petito

    Can anyone explain to me why this case has been for days now plastered all over the top of the NY Post and a lot of other places? It is a mania I think, but why? Is it because she is almost certainly dead and is white and is cute and that a white man almost certainly killed her? Is this escapism from the more important and very depressing stories of the day? Do we like the way this makes us feel, all tender and human and caring....an antidote to all of the cold hate that now permeates our society?

    I want to understand.

    this is a representation of the masses unable to come to terms with people having rights and freedoms. The boyfriend in question isn't sitting in a jail cell or been killed outright even after they assume he's obviously guilty, but won't cooperate and is still sitting in the free world.

    the masses hate rights..........always have
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    I wonder about the police releasing the video of her and the likely killer, I am not sure I want my government doing that sort of thing.

    It's a good way to keep hojo's babbling bumbles off the headline.

    My wife, who has always been big in following these sorts of crime stories, and now listens to a lot of true crime podcasts, is less confident then I am that the BF did it. She is at 80%, I am at 95%.

    A body found near Grand Teton National Park is "consistent with the description" of missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito, officials said at a press conference Sunday afternoon. The body has not been officially identified, and a cause of death has not been confirmed.
