Mushroom Murder Lady is a cack. "Asian grocery store" my ass, she's a racist apparently.
Edit: also she lives in a smallish community in buttfuck Vic and she doesn't remember which of the three "asian groceries" she went to? Ha ha ha, liar!
She's already tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. And the media. May all the gods/goddesses help truth be known. I refuse to be a slave to Murdoch media.
EDIT: there's a nasty smell of 'a dingo took my baby' about this whole thing. And look how that turned out - eventually.
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.
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.
qed, you think you know how people should and would behave
I think if I accidentally killed my in laws who I love dearly you would clearly see it on my face.
she doesn't look happy
She didn't look sad either
She also has a property in Mt Waverly and claims that's where the "Asian grocery" is. Apparently Mt Waverly has two Korean grocery stores, and two other grocery stores that sell east or southeast Asian goods. Still doesn't make sense.
Also, threw out the dehydrator that she didn't use to dehydrate the dried mushrooms she bought. That doesn't hold water at all.
Makes sense.. it's a dehydrator
Goddammit. Take my uplem and go
To be fair, any grocery store that has Asian owners or employees is an Asian store to a racist..
I lol'ed when I saw that. Also it just don't make no sense. Wouldn't any purchase have some sort of record? Why would you go with that narrative?? I'd be sweating if I was her lawyer.
Small green grocer type stores often work on a cash basis, cards cost them money.
Yes but I imagine foot traffic wouldn't be so high and it would be the same people behind the counter who may recognise whether someone has visited the store. But I suppose it just becomes he said she said.
Edit: I also think if it indeed was purchased then the cops will need to get on the case to trace where they came from asap. Because if there is indeed something wrong in the supply then it's possible that these are circulated elsewhere on the market.
Does guilty looking things (dumping food dehydrator) out of fear of looking guilty. Heard that one before. Something ain't right here.
The plot thickens for Murderous Mycology Lady
It will be interesting to see if she did turn up at the hospital with an upset tummy like she claims.
She did.
Do you have Intel? You must spill.
I can't say much. But I understand she did present to a hospital with the children on Monday.
Righto. Your secret is safe with me. BRB gotta ring mum.
