Why isn’t there a Tiger King thread yet ?

Who do you guys think was the one who set the studio on fire?

I'll spoiler my theory just for people who haven't got that far yet.

Most likely Joe or someone acting on behalf of Joe. It was 100% not Rick. If you're going to commit a crime, would you wear something that everyone could identify you by? The hat and the way the person walked makes it seem like they're trying to pass off as Rick. You wouldn't walk across a well lighted area casually if you are trying to set something on fire.

Whoops. Went back and masked it.

I was thinking almost the exact same thing

It's kinda shady that the only reason the feds could gain access to his property to dig up tiger remains was because of the supposed $3,000 money transfer for the hit...despite the person who was paid the money admitting on tape that he never even went to Florida and sounded like he was being coached through the whole thing.

It's like the feds helped them create a fake hit attempt just so they could go in and (literally) dig up more dirt on the guy.

The problem here is that Joe very clearly wants her dead. He made videos and discussed killing her over and over. Jeff obviously took advantage of that and the fact Joe was desperate.

Did Joe pay 3k to kill her? I’d give it 50/50, but honestly neither Jeff or mr teardrop are anywhere near trustworthy.

I don’t really feel like I can feel sorry for Joe, he made his own bed with his terrible choices. It’s more just frustrating that the rest of them have seemingly gotten away with it.

Especially Jeff and the assassin, fuck those pieces of shit.

For sure! I don't even feel bad for Joe. I just think that the legal system should be followed properly and that if you're going to go after someone, you need to have a real case. Maybe there is one here and the series showed us only enough to have us intrigued.

But it's not like they created some crazy pathway to searching Carol's property at any point. Even the dead husband's own family wanted more to be done in that "investigation." It doesn't look legally fair at all.

Because it wasn't. Are you surprised?

Her alibi is so fucked.

I was out at 3am buying cat food and my car broke down and my brother the cop just happened to run into me and his friend gave me a ride home.

Also my husbands car was found abandoned at the airport with the keys in it, which means there’s a 90% chance I had an accomplice.

Oh and the investigation was done by the department my brother works for and didn’t bother to check any of the super obvious means of disposal of a dead body.

I’m so nice and sweet and it’s very important you donate to me so we can keep harassing private citizens.
Fuck

The documentary makes the feds and police look like idiots, and/or crooked. I mean look what that bitch Carol Baskin did right after her husband disappeared. Yet somehow that is ignored?

Joe is an narcissistic sociopath, and big time dumb, but I don't think he payed anyone to kill Baskin. Everything the "hitman" said was extremely insincere. Lowe wanted to steal the park and Joe played right into his plans.

I feel like the Fed investigators put so much money into the case they HAD to get a conviction, or else answer some really tough questions about whether they still deserved to be employed. The American justice system is corrupt as fuck and they can put anyone away that they want.

I had no idea it was legal for authorities to threaten people into testifying like they did.

"Oh you worked at the park? I sure hope you didn't miss a dot on an "i" or we will lock you up. Better testify against joe just to be sure."

Uneducated people with priors would basically fall over themselves to say whatever the Feds wanted them to.

Having just finished it I feel really bad for Joe.

That when he started it he really did seem genuinely interested in protecting the animals but the money for to his head...hell, the things he was advocating for in those early videos of him are literally what Carole was advocating for in her side of this story. She's also lost the plot though, because as the documentary shows, no one seems to give a shit about reintroducing these cats to the wild. Just that they want more publicity for their own version of conservation. At the end of the day, though. I'm inclined to side with carole's views on not allowing anyone to touch or take photos with the animals. At least make them as wild as possible...
with that said, though. Fuck Carole. She should be paying those volunteers. She makes more than enough from social media to not exploit their labor.

I have no fucking idea what this is.

I used to have a fairly good handle on pop culture but these past few months I've been a complete hermit.
Some gay retard did a bunch of illegal shit and the feds got him for it while other people guilty of similar shit didn't. Specially a home wrecker old whore that offed her husband and paid off local law enforcement to look the other way.

fuckin a im finishing up episode 3 right now and saw this :/

anyway

came to say: I trust Carole about as much as I trust that wretched cunt Hillary Clinton. Gettin' major Rodham vibes from her


I kept thinking Carole was giving me an eerie vibe of someone. About two episodes in, I realized Carole had the same mannerisms and vocal inflections as Hilary. In the third episode, it felt like I was watching an old Hilary interview.
 
My wife and I watched the first episode last night and we both agreed it was a bunch of self-absorbed rich people bickering with other self-absorbed rich people.

I feel bad for the employees and family who got pulled into the orbit of these psychos.

...lacks reading comprehension.
god I hate Carol Baskin. She def killed her husband
I think her husband wanted for that to be believed. About the slickest thing he could pull off (which is what he said a day before he disappeared) would be to get away from his wife with a few million while making it look like she killed him.

But she is definitely scamming people for their PETA money. That video where she was promoting having big cats as pets and dressed them up was revealing. You don't go from that mindset to the complete opposite, not if you made good money that way.

Everybody in this show is fucked up. I'd just feed all of them to their tigers. LOL.

Why would he create a scenario like that when he could have just divorced her and kept most of his money and gone to Costa Rica on his own instead of with a few million while having to disguise his identify.

Not to mention them finding his van at the airport, not even searching it for prints on the spot or searching it period.

Or the fact that Carol broke into the estates executors office for the will and had it changed to Carol's name. Or the fact that the will uses the word disappearance instead of death.

I mean, in the words of the great Joe Exotic, "the bitch killed her husband and fed them to her tigers".

I havent seen this but I have seen a ton of memes about it. Also the most hilarious meme to me is about Carole taking a stroll through nebraska avenue lol.

I’m in the small minority in that I couldn’t watch this. I got 3 episodes in and bailed. Just too redneck-y for me, and I found every single person in it disgusting and deplorable. I felt gross watching it.

But it was extremely well made objectively speaking of what I saw.

They are all sociopathic crazies, and absolutely none of them are decent humans.
One guy groomed teenagers to fuck and had them working 12-hour shifts on his harem cult animal farm

One woman made her husband vanish and threatened everyone who could challenge her on it

One literally sucks people in and uses them literally until they can't be used anymore, at which point he ejects and forgets about them
 
Honestly that Carol bitch had it comming to her. Of course Im not saying what Joe did was right but damn man she tried her whole career to destroy that man and take EVERYTHING from him. Fuck man I would want to kill the bitch too! They are all crazy and have their own wrong doings but I do feel kinda sorry for Joe man....

They all played the dude man.

Watch Dirty Money S2 to feel actual rage.
 
Wait what?! I must have missed that part? How do they know she broke in?
A few days after he disappeared, Carol had Dom Lewis' handyman (whom they interview in the series) break the locks to the office so she can get a few things. Don Lewis' secretary had the will there. It was missing after Carol broke in. A few days later Carol produces the Will which has some odd language in there about "I'm the event of my disappearance"

The shit is so obvious she did it for the money. If only we had hard evidence on her.....

Apparently Joe Exotic has the virus.

I was working with the City of Wynnewood back in 2018/early 2019 when some of the shit was starting to hit the fan. It was a huge joke in the city.
