Thanks for the diligent follow-up. Pre-indictment arrest isn’t guilt, but the odds of evil over stupid have gone way up. ---

Well, there’s a dismembered teenager in a car trunk, so there’s definitely an evil MF involved. It’s possible D4vd isn’t him, but in that case I don’t see what he’s done that’s stupid (other than spelling his name in leetspeak). ---

The stupid theory at the time was that he lent his car to somebody evil and more or less forgot about the missing car. So stupid for hanging out with evil, and stupid for misplacing a perfectly good car. But yeah, the fickle finger of fate is pointing the evil at D4vd more and more as time goes on. ---

OK, that would be stupid, but sounds really implausible. Is this guy actually rich enough that he just wouldn’t notice one missing Tesla? ---

She was dismembered and her parts stowed in two separate plastic bags. I know we’re kidding about the Tesla trunk/frunk guillotines, but nope, not an accident. Neither a suicide. Although maybe this turn of the discussion belongs in the evil thread where I linked to. ---

A few weeks ago I was going to post this story in this thread: > **[Ridglan Farms break-in, animal rights activists storm Wisconsin facility](https://www.fox6now.com/news/ridglan-farms-break-in-animal-activists)** > > The self-described "rescuers" got away with 23 beagles, and the Dane County sheriff said half of the activists were detained or arrested. TLDR, it’s an animal test facility with several thousand beagles. A bunch of people organized themselves, broke in and got 23 dogs out. About half the people were arrested. The reason I wanted to put it in the ‘stupid’ thread was because they recorded themselves doing it, then came right out and stated that they plan to get _a lot_ more people to help them break in next time. I mean, if you’re going to do that, maybe keep your mouth shut about it. Since then, there’s always been at least one (even if it’s older) article on the front page of one of the local news sites I read. A few days ago, I saw an article about how they plan to get several thousand people to break in this weekend. Again, maybe keep your mouth shut about it. The only reason I can see to keep this in the news and announce what you’re doing is in hopes that the facility will release all the dogs before they get broken into again. Of course that’s not what happened, what happened was that they hired guards, set up blockades and had the police ready. On facebook, just now, I see a post from the group that monitors police/fire/EMT scanners saying there’s a ‘mass casualty’ event at the farm. Who coulda seen that coming? I’m waiting to see some articles pop up but in the mean time they’re live streaming it. Also, I think in this case ‘mass casualty’ is going to refer to people getting tear gassed, not killed. But we’ll see. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > “Mass casualties”. And, again, to be clear, that’s just what some random guy with a police scanner and a facebook account said. But, yeah, said casualties appear to be just tear gas. > [@Jackmannii](#): > > Whether they’re serving them breaded, broiled or deep-fried, something seems wrong. I meant to quote that article and forgot to link it. I was actually going to make the comment that I always find it funny how many typos I see in breaking news stories where every outlet is trying to be the first one to get something online and clearly not proof reading anything in the process. ---
