continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

(frozen comment) Re: Andy claims he was sent crime scene photos of Brittany's body

someone going so far out of their way to disprove a trivial comment related to this tragedy.

Disagree completely. Since I assume Andy's lying about this until proven otherwise, he made that comment to disparage his critics and to garner sympathy, and he did so using Brittany's death and by invoking the image of her murdered body. I don't think I can express how disgusting and disturbing that is.

If the police think their time is being wasted by such questions, they can tell me so and that will be the end of it. If not, they may be interested to know that someone is claiming their department has leaked or stolen images of murder victims, and has used them to harass another victim of the same crime.

It's a 2-year-old post that never got mileage and has already been all-but-proven false for reasons that have been outlined in this thread (he kept up his regular posting schedule and didn't otherwise react to what would be a shocking, terrible violation; he never repeated the claim despite the amount of mileage he would have been able to get from it; police just don't release crime scene photos of corpses and there wasn't anyone non-police to have taken such a photo).

Best case scenario: police confirm that it's not their policy to release said photos.

They still won't investigate beyond maybe giving Andy a phone call (during which he confirms that it did happen but he baleeted the email), because this supposedly happened 2 years ago, is an incident related to a closed case, is a cyber crime and therefore the biggest hassle to investigate even if they wanted to, and they have enough else to deal with, so it's still forever up in the air whether MAYBE someone happened to leak such a photo to someone who would harass Andy with it. And it actually looks all the more plausible to Andy's defenders that someone might have actually gone that far, because anti-thanfiction activists actually went so far as to contact the cops about a 2yo one-off post so they obviously aren't unable to go to extremes!
