Still too early to tell what happened. Is there anything to this apparent debunking of the hacked Mercedes theory?

It’s important not to chase after conspiracy theories until we uncover some verifiable info. But what I find interesting is that if there are any manufacturing flaws in his car than it’s possible there should be a major recall of the vehicle he was driving. That being said, you’ll have a team of Mercedes-Benz lawyers now wanting to look at the suspicious death method to prove there’s no need for a recall.

“.....it took the coroner two days to positively ID Hastings’ body.”

Has the Coroner dropped dead of arsenic poisoning yet?

That’s what happened a year ago, the same day the LA Coroner’s office released the Breitbart autopsy report — Michael Cormier (LA Coroner technician) was rushed to the hospital and died from suspected arsenic poisoning.

WITHIN HOURS of the autopsy report getting released. Another magical coincidence!

A full year later, do we have any clue what the hell happened to Cormier? Any “official investigation” findings?

Nope.

Skepticism that isn’t a two-edged sword devolves into an irrational bias.

“But there are many, many reasons we need to be stay away from this theory in this case for now. As the Los Angeles Times notes, law enforcement officials are “weeks away” from determining the exact cause of Hastings’ death, including what happened to the car and how fast it was going. “

Are they still investigating? It was my impression they already claimed it to be an accident and that there was nothing to see here.

Car bomb—about eight pounds of plastique. Witnesses claim that the car exploded and then “crashed” into the tree. Photos show car resting against the tree, not plowed through it.

Oh and let’s not forget 2 cops were returning to the police station a few nights after the Hastings crash.

As they paused in the driveway to swipe their access card, somebody runs up to their unmarked police car and starts shooting into their car, grazing both officers.

This station is near the site of the Hastings crash.

Hastings crashed approx 4am.

These cops were ambushed approx 4am (a few nights later).

Wanna bet they were ON SHIFT on the same night, at the same time, that Hastings crashed/exploded?

The dead bodies, and attempts to make more dead bodies, are stacking up. This is turning into a modern-day Chinatown.

That’s the weakest “debunking” of anything I’ve ever seen.

With these targeted killings, Eric Holder is starting to show more leg.

The mortality rate hasn’t been this high since gay choir members started dropping dead from natural causes (aka gunshot wounds to the back of the head) in Chicago during Obamatollah’s 2008 campaign.

The one odd part to the cops being shot at....you don’t hear about any video. You would think there’d be some cameras arranged on the front of the building.

“That’s the weakest “debunking” of anything I’ve ever seen.”

Hahahaha exactly!

The author should have just written, “The owner of my publication got a call from Axelrod, saying we should downplay the idea Hastings was targeted. Therefore, I recommend we stay far away from that theory and just wait for all the facts to come in, just like we’re still waiting for all the facts on arsenic-poisoned LA Coroner tech, Michael Cormier, who dropped dead a full year ago the same day his office released the Breitbart autopsy report.”

Aw c'mon. He said "it is hard" to hack into a car. What more debunking do you need. I mean, why would anyone try to steer you wrong?

Now just move along...

Here’s my “book report” on this article.

TITLE: Why It’s Unlikely Someone Killed Michael Hastings By Hacking His Car
AUTHOR: Patrick George

SUMMARY: The government probably didn’t hack the car of Michael Hastings because it’s only been a week, so the police haven’t finished their investigation yet.

Who wrote this article, Valerie Jarrett?

It reads like a translation of a preschool textbook by the Iranian Dr Seuss.

The administration wouldn’t have to hack the car, if they hack the driver.

Inject him with alcohol and place a block of wood onto the gas pedal.

Well, if it was in fact a hit, then the people who did the hit, and are doing the investigation, will of course mention that in their report. We’ll just have to wait and see.
