And after initially claiming he dropped her off alive.

That’s kind of what I thought. Doesn’t “buried her at sea” in this case just translate to “dumped her overboard?”

He just dismembered, I mean misremembered when he spoke.

My most recent CPR training was like 20 years ago, so I’m not up on the newest developments. Thank for sharing some valuable context.

The Robert Durst defense! “It was an accident but I decided the best course of action was to dismember and dump.”

As a shark diver/tagger/conservationist, I would be amazed if this was the result of being snacked on. Many sharks have very, almost-surgically-precise bites. But to just...leave a torso is not very shark-like. And almost always after a shark gets something big smaller predators enjoy the remains. So it’s more…

With every new development this whole story just gets more bizarre. I feel like it’s a season of Broadchurch or one of those Scandinavian crime dramas my partner loves to watch. Except the only suspect is guilty af, and we may never know exactly why he murdered her. 

“Unusual” = “Murdery.”

FALSE. She would have left her tossin’ arm attached to the torso.

Uhhhh ... throwing a body overboard and then lying about it doesn’t seem like a natural way to respond to an accident at sea. If this really is her body, then dismembering the body of the accident victim seems like a really unusual decision.

Did you see the story about the woman who gave her local memorial a participation medal? That’s even cheaper than adding new statues! Though I do love the idea of mass produced Benedict Arnolds being added across the south.

Has nothing to do with celebrating them. Most of the statues were raised either during the Jim Crow era or during the civil rights/desegregation era as a “fuck you, remember this?” to black people. The same as the idiots that run around with the “confederate flag” that isn’t really the confederate flag - it is just…

Finally. It’s worth noting that Fenves is the son of a Holocaust survivor and can obviously appreciate the significance of something like this. Proud of my alma mater.

Exactly this. Someone posted this tweet some time back, and it was perfect.

The South just doesn’t want us to take away their participation trophies.

Jesus, I hope this is a troll comment. In case it isn’t, I’ll take the time to point out that the problem w/ the confederate statues isn’t “these people owned slaves.” The problem is “these people were traitors who seceded from the country and fought a war over their insistence on owning slaves after the rest of the…

I’ll never understand how southerners (well, anyone, really) who worship the confederacy are treated like “true patriots” by anyone when the entire point of the confederacy was to secede from the United States (to maintain slavery).

I’m struggling to decide whether this is dumb, off topic, whataboutism, or just trolling.

More like #themoreyoudeflect. Slave ownership isn’t the issue *here*. The issue is traitors like Lee who *fought* for the right to own slaves.

Hey Special Needs Steve- how many of those ole mountain faces were traitors to their country? I count zero. #thatsmath
