    Agreed. She was right to be distrustful of media.

    She’s such a typical and easy target of societal hatred. She’s middle aged and not pretty. She’s working class from a poor rural town. She’s white so she’s a safe target, no risk being called racist if they pick on her. She is nervous and inarticulate, that doesn’t make her guilty. She might really hate those people, that still doesn’t mean she’s guilty. She does dumb things because she’s scared, that doesn’t mean she’s guilty. There’s loads of people I hate but I would never think of killing them. The world thinks they know how a murderer behaves or what a murderer would say and if she doesn’t measure up she’s “guilty”.

    All I know is the whole world is crazy , they will chew her up and spit her out, destroying decades of her life just for a few days of gossip, higher ratings and ad revenue.

      As someone who was friends with her, Erin Patterson is not some dumb country, working class, bumpkin. She is incredibly intelligent and last time I spoke to her she was studying veterinary science and could calculate PI to a ridiculous number of places in her head. Both of her parents were academics and she came from money. She could be really manipulative and could hold a grudge, but when I knew her there was no way she would ever intentionally harm someone like she is being accused of doing.

        I’m saying that is the public perception of her.

        She could be really manipulative and could hold a grudge,

        stop helping her

      I don’t care who you are, what colour of skin you have, your age or your weight if you get out of your little red car claiming you loved the people you’ve killed without a tear in your eye you are hiding something.
