RIP. She was a fighter and a hero.
We can lament the lack of full justice but please let's not forget this woman's massive achievements...
Epstein died awaiting trial. Maxwell is doing 20 years. Andrew is a social pariah who has been ejected from the royal family. And everyone around the world knows about Epstein's trafficking ring.
None of this would have happened without Giuffre's tenacity and bravery for so long in the face of insurmountable odds and incredibly powerful people.
It's not justice until every charge is answered for and every perpetrator faces trial. BUT.. this woman achieved so much and deserves to be remembered as such.
Let's not frame her as a downtrodden victim. She's a fucking fighter. And she won an astounding victory. This woman felled giants.
Alas, Andrew is on his way back to a Mel Gibson-style rehabilitation. (If anything, the token ostracism he experienced, solely for the benefit of the cameras, was far less that Prince Harry did for marrying an American of the wrong colour.) Meanwhile, other rapists not only walk free but thrive.
The unpleasant realisation is that Giuffre served her purpose as a warning to other victims to stay silent.
Good people in this world gets crushed by evil ones. Evil is actually rewarded.
But if you have any belief that what we do in this world matter on some spiritual level after death, I would be careful becoming an evil person for the gains it gives here on earth.
The only justice in the world is what we make.
I get the comments that are suspicious of the circumstances of her death, but I believe it. I can completely understand how it feels to see abusers go unpunished and I can't even imagine what it must have been like seeing these beasts live their best life as she had to live with the scars of their abuse and never find justice.
Awful.
How much are you being paid to divert attention from the obvious assassination this was?
A tragedy.
RIP, Heroine. You had the courage to speak up. I'm sorry you felt you didn't belong here, anymore. You will be remembered.
Wasn't she just in a car accident with injuries that were going to quickly be fatal? Did she maybe just choose to go at a time of her choice?
Yeah, there was a lot of weird confusion about that. The police claimed the accident was actually minor and no reported injuries occurred. Then her family came out with a statement saying that she initially went home with minor bumps and bruises, but later fell ill and went to the hospital where they discovered she had kidney failure, I think? It's still unclear if that's true though.
Now this happens? It's all very strange.
She died at a residence, so she must have been discharged. That was an odd story, but a bunch of idiots here posted that it must have been an assassination attempt. Now they're talking about the suicide the same way, but her family isn't.
They can't keep getting away with it
Unfortunately they can and will.
"Suicide"
What, no windows to fall out of?
Wasn‘t a Russian general doing his housework.
Suspicious anyway. RIP.
A shame. The indications were there for the world to see a week ago.
