We’re Seth Rich’s parents. Stop politicizing our son’s murder (His Parents Write WaPo Opinion Piece)
Washington Post ^ | 05/24/2017 | By Mary Rich and Joel Rich

Posted on 05/24/2017 7:42:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

NOTE: The writers are the parents of Seth Rich, who was killed in the District in 2016.

Imagine living in a nightmare that you can never wake up from. Imagine having to face every single day knowing that your son was murdered. Imagine you have no answers — that no one has been brought to justice and there are few clues leading to the killer or killers. Imagine that every single day, with every phone call you hope that it’s the police, calling to tell you that there has been a break in the case.

Imagine that instead, every call that comes in is a reporter asking what you think of a series of lies or conspiracies about the death. That nightmare is what our family goes through every day.

Our beloved son Seth Rich was gunned down in the early hours of July 10, 2016, in his Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Bloomingdale. On the day he was murdered, Seth was excited about a new job he had been offered on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Seth had dedicated his life to public service, and he told us that he wanted to work on the campaign’s effort to expand voter participation because he loved our country dearly and believed deeply in the promise of democratic engagement. Seth had been walking around, calling friends, family and his girlfriend, pondering the broader picture of what the job change would mean. He wondered how he would pick up and move to New York City for four months, the strain that might put on his relationships, and how it would all affect the life he had built for himself in Washington.

The circumstances of what happened next are still unclear.

Obama was not a Muslim. He was a Universalist Unitarian as was his church run by Jeremiah Wright. Look it up if you do not know what Universalist Unitarian is.

Nope.

United Church of Christ. AKA a Black Liberation Movement church.

Yes, criminals shoot their victims IN THE BACK, then panic and run away without taking any valuables. It happens every day.

We can’t “politicize” something that was political from the very first bullet.

) Julian Assange's claims are not a whacked out conspiracy theory (covered in this thread).

Assange hasn't claimed Rich had anything to do with the leaks.

Vague innuendo isn't a claim but is typical of the craven losers pushing this crap.

The parents know exactly who did it.

Probably found a severed horse head in Seth's bed that night.

It's the Kopechne's all over again.

FReegards!

Sympathy for the parents, however how they can not demand a thorough investigation of their son’s death is beyond comprehension.

“So, they would rather protect the DNC and its murderers, maybe get some behind-the-scenes apology and compensation, rather than get public justice for their murdered son? Pathetic”

Remind anyone of Teddy Kennedy and Mary Jo?

Political murder, threats and hush money.

What goes on in the mind of a person who advocates the insane “conspiracies don’t exist” theory?

here the deal....the the two even may not be related but that does not mean Mr Rick was not the leaker

Pretty strong circumstantial evidence that Mr. Rich was leaker to wikileaks as he was on the DNC IT saff had acess and the last of the DNC email leak correlate to a date that Mr.Rich was moved out of a particular position ..and also possible involvement in and known hack of Hillary by Bernie IT guy in Dec 2015

So if No matter what they say about the motive of the murder the investigation of Mr. Rich in to being the leaker to Wiki leaks is couple completely legitiment

A little truth .. The DNC WOULD be highly Motivated to have a leak of their operation blamed on the Russians and by proxy Trump vs the major embarrassment of having one of their own whistle-blowing on them because he thought they were cropped and how they treated Bernie

Added the servers were never investigated by the FBI but by a DNC hired privite IT Crowdsource

You don’t let a company Audit its own books and say a crime happened without having an outside audit of the same books .. if you did you could hide embezzlement all-day long

“We also know that there were signs of a struggle, including a watchband torn when the assailants attempted to rip it off his wrist”

That's leaping to conclusions.

I know. I’m considering donating again and allowing this piece of “junk mail” to filter through to my grandfather again. He was a big donor.

Stop politicizing my sexual relations with Bill Clinton. How was I supposed to know he was the president from where I was kneeling?

If their son committed a crime

OR worked with Russians via Wikileaks

OR was a murder victim of a political party

- IT'S NOT HIS PARENT'S CALL.

Parents are NOT allowed to make the call about news coverage... well, unless it helps democrats in which case the thug's at the Washington Post will 'show respect'...

Why? Because they're NOT real journalists... and haven't been for years.

TED BUNDY'S PARENTS DIDN'T WANT HIS NAME SPLASHED ALL OVER NEWSPAPERS EITHER.

You can either accurately state what he is or look completely ignorant in the process

What evidence is there that this was a botched robbery? I know nothing was taken, so where does that conclusion come from.

How do they KNOW that nothing was taken? All they know is that his wallet and watch were not taken. They have no certain knowledge of what else he might have been carrying (like perhaps a flash drive with compromising info).
