If you actually are innocent, I'm sure any lawyer would tell you to do the same. And fleeing (if that's what happened) after it starts getting national media attention... Also understandable. Like, let's play devils advocate for a sec. They're out on a trail somewhere. Maybe it's just an accident and she falls down a hill. Maybe they get into another fight and he pushes her. Either case, he goes "oh FUCK" and panics. Maybe he's thinking "they're going to think I killed her, all the evidence is going to say I did, there's no one that can prove otherwise." I have known people who have gone on the run because they got pulled over while on probation. That "oh shit" moment is a very powerful motivator to do dumb shit. Basically I'm saying, assuming he DIDN'T do it... Put yourself in his shoes. People like to think that everyone acts rationally all the time, when that is emphatically not true, especially in times of distress. You might think "he didn't call for help, he must have done it." You never know what you're going to do in situations like that until it happens. (That said I think he did it. I'm just saying the fact that he lawyered up as soon as he got home didn't necessarily indicate that. Not saying anything is probably the smartest thing he could have done, guilty or not) (going on the run... not so smart) I'm suspecting that I'm the only person on the planet with this response, but because I didn't know him or her, I don't really care what happened to her. I have no affiliation or personal interest in the outcome of whatever happened. The problem, in my opinion, with these types of stories is that everyone becomes a backseat driver and chimes in with his or her opinion on events they know nothing of, and of which they have no direct knowledge, kind of like making spurious arguments as to why vaccinations are dangerous and wrong. So a bunch of people who know little to nothing of this case other than what they hear on the news now integrate themselves into the story by harassing the guy and his family, posting their theories on conspiracy sites and making life miserable for the cops that actually have to investigate what happened but now have to do it with 10,000 bystanders yelling at them to do better while tramping all over the crime scene. Now, I'm anxiously waiting for the Karens to respond in mass so they can make sure this never happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 My cousin's daughter out on Long Island was friends with her so I've been hearing about this from him a lot. I get that the news reporting on this like they are is what's pissing people off but I'm still irrationally angry at the "lol stupid white girl" shit in this thread.

We should be cautious with social media posts and understand what people put there is what they want people to see - how they want people to see them. But in this particular case we also got other insights into what kind of people Gabby and Brian were. Crazy that we actually got bodycam footage of their domestic violence incident that happened 2 weeks before suspected time of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I read up a little more on the story, and it actually speaks to something grander than just missing white girl stuff. This woman was clearly in danger at the hands of this man and the only police intervention was a threat to arrest and charge HER. Our society continues to fail to protect women from abusive men. Shame on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 7 minutes ago, SuperSpreader said: Society protects white men. If you think this is limited to white guys, you’re crazy. DV is incredibly common and rarely treated seriously no matter the races involved. Black and brown women are much more likely to be victims of DV than white women, and DV is committed most often by inimate partners, so which races do you think are over and under represented in DV cases?

Shame on us. I don’t know if I would be so hard on the cops. We don’t know the couples relationship dynamics but the only thing they had to go on was her admitting, on camera, she committed domestic violence on the boyfriend.

LazyPiranha Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think we can agree that the individual cops aren’t necessarily to blame as much as policing in general when it comes to these problems. Police hate dealing with DV stuff and they’re largely not equipped to handle it. They have poor options and very few resources so they try and do as little as possible.

I’m not being hard on the police, the officer that decided not to arrest her did his best. But that’s the problem, in a scenario that needs expert care to recognize the signs of mental and physical abuse…we have police officers out there who really could do nothing more than arrest her for this particular incident, ignoring the context of the fight. We simply don’t care to give DV victims the support they need to get away from abusers, and there is a long list of women who are dead because they couldn’t escape.

Fizzzzle Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The weird thing is that, without obviously knowing anything about their situation, the police telling them to just spend the night apart probably is something that a therapist would actually recommend. But police officers aren't licensed therapists. They're barely even qualified to be police officers most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This poor woman then ticked off a series of other boxes that acted as "force multipliers" for general interest: - young - conventionally attractive - social media influencer Then we got into the other aspects that feed into this country's terribly odd obsession with "true crime" stories: - an identifiable "bad guy" - suspicious behavior from identifiable bad guy - abusive relationship with identifiable bad guy There are absolutely many factors other than her race that influenced to some degree or another the media's coverage, but it is undeniable that the combination of her race and her looks provided an "appealing" foundation upon which to base that coverage. As someone on ResetERA described it so very well: Quote These are all things [referring to several of the factors that I listed above] that separate her story from the stories of other white women and give her story coverage instead of other white woman who sadly died or went missing. Being white is still largely a prerequisite. It’s the first step to potential coverage on this scale and why the list of white victims in missing person and homicide cases that have crossed over in large, mainstream coverage is infinitely longer than every other racial and ethnic group combined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 12 hours ago, sblfilms said: Our society continues to fail to protect women from abusive men. Shame on us. The issue is we aren’t raising men to not be abusive. We constantly tell women to stay vigilant and always be on the lookout, but we never say “hey fellas, don’t beat women and rape them.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog the Bounty Hunter becoming involved only means that it's hyped up enough that he's now willing to get involved and up the hype factor even further.
