You spend a lot of time here, though.

What a piece of work you are, @Darren_Garrison. So desperate to score points that you gratuitously made a search and posted it, just to make a point against a much better poster than you will ever dream of being (I say this not knowing much about that other poster, but knowing that being better than you is a pretty low bar).

Anyway, thank you for showing yourself for what you are, yet again, in the Pit, so that I can tell you what I think of you. Too bad you aren’t in the news, or you’d be a really good fit for this thread.

It’s pretty cliche at this point, but a fan ran onto the field after last night’s NLCS game and paid the price.

I think this might apply:

> **[Defense team withdraws from case of two girls slain in Delphi, Indiana](https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/cameras-in-court-delphi-murders-liberty-german-abigail-williams-richard-allen/)**
>
> Richard Allen's trial had been scheduled for January, but will now have to be rescheduled.

In particular the defense in that case has been:

> In court filings last month, defense attorneys accused investigators of ignoring critical evidence from the scene – [linking the killings to a group called “Odinism.”](https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/attorneys-murders-delphi-indiana-white-nationalist-pagans/)
> 
> “Members of a pagan Norse religion, called Odinism, hijacked by white nationalists, ritualistically sacrificed Abigail Williams and Liberty German,” the attorneys state said in the filing.

> Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland called the theory a “fanciful defense for social media to devour” in response to the defense filing.

It’s basically the old 1980s “SATAN WORSHIPPERS ARE OUT TO GET US!” panic that they’re appealing to, under a different name.

As to why the defense team withdrew from the case…

> Thursday’s hearing was expected to cover several topics, including leaked information being shared online. Allen’s defense attorneys had taken responsibility for the leak and could have been removed from the case on Thursday before voluntarily withdrawing.

I guess Trump doesn’t have a monopoly on bad defense attorneys.

The defense contended that two guards at the prison where Richard Allen’s being held have connections to Odinism. This weird-sounding allegation got a bit of support, when it turned out that the guards were wearing patches on their uniforms that have been linked to Odinism, but aren’t in the guards’ case, to hear them tell it. One of them “said that while he does not practice Odinism, he does follow “Norse Paganism Heathenry.””

Well alrighty then. 🤪

[https://www.foxnews.com/us/delphi-murders-suspect-richard-allen-not-being-harassed-alleged-cult-members-prison-prosecutors-say:](https://www.foxnews.com/us/delphi-murders-suspect-richard-allen-not-being-harassed-alleged-cult-members-prison-prosecutors-say:)

This patch-wearing (since ended) was used in defense claims that Allen was being abused by two guards (presumably the same ones). But it seems like an enormous hop, skip and jump to the conclusion that the girls were murdered by an Odinist conspiracy that has tentacles stretching into the prison. 🕵️‍♂️
