You know the odds of someone having 3 different accusers die before trial for the same person are astronomically small? So small that hitting someone with a car to kill them actually becomes the vastly more probable event. Spacey was also connected to the Maxwell family, who is deeply connected to multiple intelligence agencies, all of which are packed to the brim with skilled assassins. Could these intelligence agencies kill anyone they want, any time they want? Ask Epstein.

I know the clinton kill list has convinced people that it's perfectly normal for multiple people to die before they can take the stand against the same individual, but statistically speaking, these are essentially impossible events.

This website has some real hard hitting content too. This website may be satire:

I feel like the intelligence services might be a little more inclined to kill for the sitting president the United States than they would for the guy who just played the president on Netflix.

That being said, three deaths in one year is suspicious if nothing else.

what a crock of ####. he pled guilty to drugging and raping a 13 year old girl, and fled the country to avoid going to jail for it.

#### anyone who is empathetic to him.

Here's a game: make the best movie you can using only cancelled (whether or not they've been revived) talent. Don't include a plot, just a roster of talent that, sight unseen, at least piques your curiosity.

And you can't use Robert Downey Jr - people say Iron Man was a comeback story for him, but all that really happened was he stopped being everyone's first choice for leading roles for like 18 months. He didn't go to war.

From the writer of Fantastic Beasts 1-3, JK Rowling

A Mel Gibson film

Starring:

Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey
2x Academy Award nominee James Woods
Grammy Award winner Louis CK
Featuring Kathy Griffin and Roseanne Barr as The Women
And Bill Cosby as The Black Guy

In the motion picture event of the year:

Doubt 2: Unconvinced
come on where's the love for Gérard Depardieu?

Linda Culkin died after being struck by a car in Quincy, Massachusetts. No charges were filed against the driver, who remained at the scene.

Skilled assassins always stay at the scene of the crime.

Let's check another source.

Quote:
The Patriot Ledger reports that Linda Culkin, 59, was crossing Burgin Parkway when she was hit by a car, with police Sgt. Karyn Barkas stating that Culkin was crossing while the traffic light was green. The driver tried to avoid her and, as a result, hit another vehicle head-on. No charges were filed against the driver.

I mean, come on. Do your research man. How could a reasonable person possibly think this is an assassination by professionals?

Losing your family to Hitler and your wife and kid to Charles Manson (who also had a swastika gouged into his forehead - so in a way, he lost his family to Hitler twice) will do things to a man that put him not in his right mind.

Dunno what else to say. Life is crazy.

Just came in to unequivocally state that there's no doubt in my mind that movie would suck ####.

The egos involved alone would make it impossible to shoot cogently.

That's the problem with these conspiracy nutjobs, they leave it to everyone else to debunk their extremely flimsy but elaborate theories. Just spouting off nonsense and pretending it's fact, so desperate to find any bit of info they'll repeat without checking or even a second to think on how preposterous it is.

And now the rest of us have to spend time to prove this garbage wrong.

Reminds me when a friend was quoting some antivaccine garbage, turns out the "medical professional" he was referring to was banned from practicing medicine in the US, was not educated and practiced voodoo.

he did have a tragic past, but you're using his past to make excuses for what he did.
dunno what else to say but his past isn't an excuse for his actions as much as you're saying it is.

They aren't excuses and don't absolve him in any way, but sometimes it's interesting to understand the psychological trauma that can lead people to extreme acts.
