Did he fall out a window maybe?
Nah, he was old and sick, so it’s probably natural causes, but it certainly won’t help the conspiracy theorists on the right who’ve been flailing around over Epstein.
Lol. This will destroy any progress they thought they were making burying the Epstein story, even if it is natural causes
Putin kills people all the time. Everybody knows it was him but he’s still in power.
It doesn’t matter if this keeps the story alive as long as no one faces actual consequences for it.
“guys, did we do this? was this one us? i’m kinda freaking out over here”
killing Ozzy was successful in taking the focus away for a few minutes
At least he was old. Did they really have to throw in Theo Huxtable?
As someone who was caught in a rip tide with my 6 y/o son, it has to be one of the top worst ways to die.
and a very traumatic experience even when you survive. does he still like swimming in the ocean? I know I didn’t after my experience
Good question. Haven’t really been to the beach with him in a very long time. That was 21 years ago.
Yep RIP tides are no laughing matter. I was lucky enough when it happened to me I just ended up several hundred feet down the beach. Once you are in it. It can be way harder to get out than a lot of people might think.
Yes, we needed help getting out. I was swimming parallel as needed and kept pushing my son out 2-3 feet ahead of me so I was motivated enough to swim to him. After a few minutes, a young man, probably 20s, came in to help.

Reading his history he was famous for defending assholes getting scot free or getting much less than they deserved. Was one of those “if you have the money he’ll fix it”
Your daily reminder that ~1% of the population are high-functioning (not actual murderer) psychopaths.
“When the going gets tough, you don’t want a criminal lawyer. You want a criminal lawyer.”
That’s kind of the job of a defense attorney. By definition, most of his clients are going to be scumbags. He’s no different than any other defense attorney, except some of his clients tend to be celebrities.
It’s a requirement, and a flaw, of the adversarial justice system, particularly where lawyers arent appointed, but hired. It breaks down if there isn’t a vigorous defense of the accused, but it is exacerbated by money giving access to more capable defense, which can lead to rich people having a license to do whatever they want, up to and including killing their spouses.
Stop posting sensationalist shit. The dude died at 80, this wasn’t an assassination. He wasn’t ‘found’
Sir, there is no nuance here.
(Seriously though I don’t like so much ragebait on Lemmy either)
Its Newsweek.
OMG! He’s missing!!?
He‘s out there somewhere

I want to believe 👽
Okay, he was very old and ill, but I’m still suspicious!
No reason to murder this guy now, though.
He actually called me last week and said
If he won’t release them I will
so looks def sus to me
Did he release it to you??? Watch your back dude. I’d hate for you to succumb to illness and old age too!
The timing is indeed odd
What are you doing that makes you so suspicious? Trenchcoat and shades?
All the easier to murder for political reasons, my dear
was hoping this headline was for Dershowitz
That ghoul will outlive us all.
And so it begins…
If you go to Zahadoom you will die…
Coin flip of whether it is just age or the tying of a loose end. Regardless, enemies of the Regime should just run with the latter narrative.
Lea Black, his wife, told the Miami Herald that he always “fought for the underdog and people’s civil rights.”
“He understood that we all have our flaws…He was able to separate people’s behavior from their character. He wanted the best for everyone,” she said.
I knew love was blind, but this is bordering on black hole levels of blindness.
Actually I respect it. Its easy to view this comment from her to be about Epstein when the article mentions him specifically, but a person’s career is more than the 1 bullet point people become known for. I didn’t follow his career so I dont really know.
I think everyone deserves representation in court, no matter how heinous they are. If they have a multi million dollar defense and still go to prision… that fucker is guilty. When they are stuck with some overworked public defender, it starts to raise doubts even when it would otherwise be an obvious case.
Wtf - what is character if not behaviour?
Even though this dude was 80y old, that won’t stop far-right conspiracy theorists from running with this. I think most will be sane enough to point out his age, but you know there will be those on the fringe of the fringe who see something suspicious about it. Personally, I look forward to seeing the melted explanations they come up with.
Lol, lemmy theorists will not be far behind. Lucky he didn’t work for Boeing, too.
No but I bet he flew on one at some point, so it’s all linked.
Donald Trump is 79.
News like this is all too typical for the US these days. There is really no rule of law here anymore - none whatsoever - I am truly glad that I do not live in this absurd banana republic.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all reasonable US citizens, of course, but please forgive me if I am not overly hopeful.
My brother in christ. Are you allergic to reading the articles you comment on?
Or are you not aware of how aging works?
Yes, I’m sorry, I’m allergic nowadays. I can’t take it anymore.
He was 80 years old and sick. Just like with Scalia’s death, there’s no reason to jump to conclusions about foul play. Of course, that won’t stop the Alex Jones crowd from doing it anyway.
Sorry, I fell for the clickbait headline because I wouldn’t have been surprised if this guy had “killed himself.” It’s a bit like The Onion; it’s hard to tell the difference between that and US news, and I don’t read articles about it anymore because I don’t see the point.
Donald Trump is a child rapist
Are you talking about Donald J. Trump the child rapist?
Stone cold take. Let’s face it if he weren’t in those files he would have released them. He has no loyalty to anyone else so he wouldn’t care about protecting them.
Removed by mod
always supported and fought for the underdog
I have a hard time imagining a world where Epstein, Bieber, the Kennedys, or any of their ilk could be considered underdogs. Good riddance.
80 and ill. But horrible timing. Idk guys smells fishy to me
horrible timing
Yeah, 80
/s (don’t really know much about this upstanding citizen)
