    Fair, I hadn’t thought of that but it makes sense. My first thought was that it was a very blatant murder cover up. But ive apparently fallen too deep into fiction if that’s what cane to mind first.

      You hang around conspiracy theorists much? Maybe too many crime shows on TV? I mean I thought I was cynical, but to have that be the first thing that occurs to you (and it sounds like you were pretty damned sure of it, too) blows me away.

        Eh, I just read a lot of grimdark and grimderp stories. The kind where nothing good ever happens and the bad guys always get away with everything just because it would make the main character’s life worse. I’m a cashier, not law enforcement, so doesn’t matter if my first instinct is skewed if I have other people to make decisions for me.

          Do you expect to remain in such a position for the rest of your life? Assuming not, then stepping back from such dark material to gain some more level-headed perspective might be wise.

        It’s not an uncommon thing both historically and in modernity, it’s got a built in cover of shit sometimes happens. Hell one of my ancestors got away with it 5 times before the Mormons figured out he was just murdering them and pawning their shit 2 towns over.
