Random Humorous Things - A Light-Hearted Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Evidently, the cops who investigated Elliott Smith’s death are still finding work.

I'm struggling to find the humor.

The Elliott Smith reference or the Onion video about a bunch of ridiculously incompetent cops?

If it’s the Elliott Smith reference, just unhide this:

Elliott Smith is a famous singer-songwriter famous for moody songs. On 1 October 2003, he died. The commonly accepted verdict is that he killed himself. He was mentally ill, with a history of suicidal ideation. However, there’s a major problem with this narrative: the wounds don’t align with suicide at all. Notably, he stabbed himself twice in the heart with no hesitation wounds (universal in this kind of suicide) He also stabbed himself through his shirt, which, from my research, never seems to happen in cases where one dies like this. 

It should also be noted that his girlfriend/unofficial manager/heroin supplier at the time, Jennifer Chiba, was in the middle of an argument with him at the time. In addition, her fingerprints were all over the murder weapon, though she says it was only because she pulled it out. It should be noted that, in her non-Elliott life, she was an art therapist and had gone through first aid training and would almost certainly have known that doing so would have made everything worse. She lawyered up, left the country a few days after Elliott’s death.

And somehow, the narrative became “he killed himself” despite the circumstances making even less sense than Jeffrey Epstein’s. Somehow-er, it’s taken a music journalist whose home base is Tumblr to do a lot of the work that the LAPD should have done decades ago.
