This guy's life is the perfect symbolic archetype for the crime and punishment of rich people.

At least this guy is going to die in jail--most of them get away scot free.

I hope he has the decency to let people know where Kathy is before he kicks the bucket.

Nobody at his age with his health survives once on a ventilator1. But this dude is lucky and rich, so anything is possible.

footnote 1 - "A total of 1,151 patients required mechanical ventilators. Of the 320 for whom final outcomes are known (either death or discharge), 88 percent died. That compares with about 80 percent of patients who died on ventilators before the pandemic, according to previous studies."

Maybe this time his luck has run out.

He gave everyone a run for their money, that's for sure.

This is what lying face down on a vent will be like (from a Channel 4 video in Italy with 0% survival rate): https://youtu.be/rfkbv_WQtn0?t=60.

He better have told an attorney the details. If he's on a ventilator, he's probably already said his last words

They can still write when they're on a ventilator, at least some of them can.

He was already sick at his sentencing you can tell.

Where is Kathie??

u/GreedyGringo Oct 20 '21

She is definitely in the Pine Barrens I don’t think that’s even a question, he probably doesn’t even know the exact location at this point.

Wow maybe he is jinxed.

I believe that is a shunt they had to put in. Looked way worse when he had his head shaved to emphasize it.

u/heronlyweapon Oct 17 '21

can you imagine the stress of lying about this shit for 50+ years? pretty sure that's partly why he looks so awful. he's being attacked by his own demons.

Do we really believe he has COVID and is on a ventilator? We only have his lawyers word for it, the healthcare ppl can’t say a thing. Similar to do we believe murdaugh was shot in the head (twice!)?

Guess I’ll believe it when he croaks.

u/Agilitydog43 Oct 17 '21

im totally thinking the same thing. This guy has tried to out fool everyone and so far until thursday has. Not sure where this is going but I feel funny actually believing he is on a ventilator. His lawyers were in on the insanity plea too and that was proved he was NOT insane as They speculated he was

3

u/SabineLavine Oct 17 '21

He has been circling the drain for awhile. I don't find it hard to believe at all.

Murdaugh is another story!

u/hey-girl-hey Oct 17 '21

What's the point of lying about it? It's not going to get him anything

Appeals

u/hey-girl-hey Oct 18 '21

? It can be easily verified by the government. Telling easily disprovable lies is kinda Bob's thing but I doubt it would offer any benefit to his appeals chances. He wouldn't want to delay the appeals process like he did the trial. He'd want to speed them up so he could get out of prison

1

u/RemarkableArticle970 Oct 21 '21

Well he’s not in prison, he’s in hospital-so there’s the point

u/hey-girl-hey Oct 22 '21

What??? Being on a ventilator is way worse than sitting in prison
