So many questions… Did she deliberately kill them for some other reason, and then used vaccines as the cover-up? Did she accidentally kill them and used vaccines as the cover-up? Did she deliberately kill them just so she could use their deaths to attack vaccines? Did she think that they were developing vaccine-induced autism, and kill them as “defective” or to “spare” them?
Good questions all. Here’s another:
Did she approach the anti-vax group, or did they approach her, scouring the news for child deaths to try to enlist just-bereaved parents in the cause of anti-vaxxism? Those stories are like manna from heaven for a dedicated propagandist.
Since she was charged with first degree murder, I’d tend to rule out accidental death. Which just muddies the waters still more.
The New York Post (I know, I know) cites claims made by the accused mom during a podcast* hosted by RFK Jr.'s Children’s Health Defense, that the 18-month-olds displayed worrisome signs and symptoms shortly after vaccination:
Wow, the vaccines caused horrific weight loss by the following day! Those are some really bad “toxins”!
Naturally, CHD and other antivaxers are rallying behind Shaw, and will probably raise $$$ to hire big-time defense lawyers.
Maybe Aaron Siri, and/or attorneys who specialize in defending those charged with harming or killing their kids via Munchausen by proxy will take on her case.
*I couldn’t find a link to the CHD podcast on their website. Also, I heard it reported that Shaw deleted a bunch of stuff on her social media account(s).
**A GiveSendGo appeal has already been posted.
Rockstar Games convinced a British court to involuntarily hospitalize an autistic 18-year-old without trial, for LIFE, because he hacked their server and leaked a trailer for their game about stealing cars.
And he is, according to the story, a member of an international extortion ring that included this guy.
Sounds like other firms paid extortion demands.
Given my past and my profession I have a very dim view of cybercriminals and little sympathy for them.
But with this guy, I wonder if it’s an issue of someone who could have had a lot of potential that is now wasted. I don’t know anything about his past but I’m guessing it was not a kind one.
This sounds like crazy “Hollywood writer with no tech knowledge” level stuff:
Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.
they didn’t even mention duct tape or a bobby pin.
Though a Fire Stick can browse the web, and that’s often all you need to hack someone if they have crappy security.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t able to do it with just his phone, assuming it’s a smart phone. A phone is just a small computer, and it’s more capable than a Fire Stick. Plus you can install all kinds of hacking crap if you jailbreak it.
If the Rockstar servers are so insecure (and remember, this is a software company, not something completely unrelated to computers), then the company executives are too incompetent for their own good, and need to be hospitalized for their own protection.
So, the NIL money wasn’t enough?
We must not Rush to Judgement.
I’m sure that the University of Kentucky is delighted that even though this guy played for four different schools, mostly at Arizona, and allegedly ran this fraud scheme while at West Virginia, major news outlets refer to him as “a former Kentucky player”.
Never played GTA Online, I see…
(Can be nearly unplayable at times because of all the hackers)
I’ve never played GTA Online, but I’ve enjoyed some videos of the game showing the most ridiculous hacks. There’s even a video over 2 hours long with compilations of hacks and exploitable glitches.
But yeah, actually playing it, no thanks.
Replying to myself: In the past couple of days, it was reported that twin girls were stillborn in 2022. This story gets even stranger: THE GIRLS WERE CONJOINED. Born sleeping at 24 weeks’ gestation, and conjoined at the chest. I’m very aware that this kind of thing can happen to anyone.
Why doesn’t the word sleeping appear in your cite?
To note that the term “born sleeping” is a kinder euphemism for “stillborn”.
That said, it’s not clear from that article whether they were stillborn or died shortly after their very premature birth.
Random guy throws a Molotov cocktail on a dude in a wheelchair. Then he pushes the chair back into the fire.
It was right across the street from the OKC police headquarters, so the victim was quickly rescued and the flamethrower apprehended.
What the Hell? The perpetrator said that he just picked the victim at random. What is wrong with people!?
Would it be ok if it was someone they knew? Not random?
It wouldn’t be OK, but it might at least be understandable.
