It's simple. Corporations are people, but they're rich, white people, and by law can never be held to account for anything. God it's like you people have never heard of America.

Stare-Out posted:Probably a dumb question, but the Olbermann video made think if corporations are people in the legal sense, is it possible for a corporation to be sentenced as a person for a crime? Like if corporation X (take your pick) is found guilty of say, polluting a town's water supply which then leads to the deaths of dozens of people, wouldn't that count as mass murder and in a death penalty state wouldn't the corporation then technically be subject to a possible death sentence? Corporations absolutely can be held accountable for crimes. Unfortunately because they have so much money, fines are often just a drop in the bucket, if they even receive a fine due to their huge teams of lawyers. Usually stuff like polluting a town's water supply, as per your example, tend to fall into the "environmental hazard" area, regardless of how many people it injures or kills. Not enough evidence for that! Such is the legal system in the great developed western world.

Sorry for the random question, but Google is not helping me. This thread has been my go-to for many many years now, and I've learned so many interesting, if not scary, things in that time. I am trying to find the name of a specific murderer (!!) who's story is that he killed his family in, I believe, a house fire, and in the end he was bullied and harrassed in prison relentlessly that he ended up being killed by his fellow inmates. I believe he maintained his innocence. The overall tone of his Wikipedia page I remember being one of patheticness, if that helps. Thank you in advance guys, keep up the great thread!

The Willingham case is very similar, yes - in fact reading about this is what reminded me about the case I am looking for - but this is not the specific example I am looking for. The above link and the Wikipedia page for Willingham are fascinating. If you've not read them, you absolutely should. My search goes on!

I wouldn't ordinarily do this, but with everything going on on the forums and the possibility they might not be around after this week I want to invite you friends to the Anomaly Discord. I've specifically set up an unnerving article and story channel tailored for the kinds of things posted on this thread because you guys have supported me since day one and I'd hate to lose touch. So whether you come or not, just know it's been a pleasure posting with you all if this ship goes down. Now then, time for some content. Is anyone familiar with Charlie Zelenoff, because I'm researching him right now for the next video. The Golden Gael has a new favorite as of 13:44 on Jun 25, 2020 |

I ordered some to my house with a fake name. I should have waited til it arrived and appended an unboxing video to the Popoff doc, because the presentation of the letter and all is batshit insane. I'll post a picture sometime if the forums are still around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_M._Heidnik I don't remember seeing this guy before. He just came up on an episode of the FBI Files or somethings, coincidentally on the anniversary of his execution. One of the inspirations for Buffalo Bill, he kidnapped 6 young women in an attempt to start his own babymaking farm after his 3 children (one with a mail order bride, one with a mentally disabled institutionalized woman) were taken away. Oh he also deafened his victims by rupturing their eardrums with a screwdriver.

I don't recall seeing it in this thread, so let's have a chat about Dr Michael Swango. The linked article, contemporaneous to most of his crimes, gives a good summary: he was an extremely bad doctor who never completed a residency and at one point served two years in prison for poisoning coworkers. He also liked to poison his patients, and likely killed dozens of people that way. He worked as a doctor in Ohio, South Dakota, and New York before people finally caught on. What the article doesn't mention, because no one knew it yet, was that Swango wasn't done! Once he realized the feds were on to him, he fled the country and found work as a doctor in Zimbabwe, where he continued to poison patients (and his landlady). When he was fired there, he again fled the country, spent some time poisoning his way across Africa, and ultimately applied for a job in Saudi Arabia. Only then did the right people finally realize who he was, and lured him back to the US. They got him on charges of fraud, and used that time to build the murder case against him. Finally, only when faced with the prospect of extradition to Zimbabwe, Swango plead guilty to three counts of murder. He's serving three consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole, but it's still unknown exactly how many people he murdered: at least three, but many estimate as many as sixty. It turns out it's pretty easy for a doctor to kill you, and get away with it!

When I started reading your summary TorpedoFish I assumed this story took place in the 1870s or something, when you could just roll from town to town and the only requirement for being a doctor was “says he is a doctor”. This mofo was pulling this poo poo in the mid-90s!

TorpedoFish posted:I don't recall seeing it in this thread, so let's have a chat about Dr Michael Swango. The healthcare community matches or exceeds the law-enforcement community in their willingness to cover up misdeeds and kick the can down the road no matter how heinous the consequences. Every single one of the serial killer doctors and nurses you’ve read about had a 5 to 50 year history of patient outcomes that could literally only be explained by murder or gross incompetence. Every single one of them was suspected by coworkers, suspected by superiors, suspected by hospital administrators, and just shuffled down the line from job to job rather than being dealt with. I guess there must be some who got busted right away, and that’s why they’re not famous, but I don’t really have faith in that.
