      Because people, including a disabled man, died under suspicious circumstances, the media is making up a narrative that is so implausible it’s laughable, and if there is a killer holding people under, they’re getting away with it?

      No healthy, conscious adult is likely to drown after falling into a canal. They’re 2 to 4 foot deep. If you fall in you’ll just stand up, soaking wet.

        No healthy, conscious adult is likely to drown after falling into a canal. They’re 2 to 4 foot deep. If you fall in you’ll just stand up, soaking wet.

        This may be a shock, but there’s a reason marked on almost every pool is:

        Shallow End. No diving

        It’s because if someone jumps into shallow water, they may hit their head and drown. This is especially dangers in pools that are all shallow end (or canals) because there usually isn’t anyone watching like at a deep body of water.

        People aren’t walking out and laying down to drown, they’re not swimming and drowning.

        They’re jumping in, hitting their heads.

        If someone with verbal palsey jumps in, that’s absolutely deep enough for them to drown whoever is saving them while trying not to drown.

        Drowning because someone tried to save a drowning person is also very common.

        Nothing about any of this is weird, you just don’t understand it

        And you’re asking by spamming Facebook conspiracy memes

        Assuming this is bothering you so much, what actions are you taking to prevent these deaths? Are you taking direct action such as vigils or taking rescue courses, joining the local fire and rescue dept? or are you just sitting inside conspiracy posting online with no proof to back any of your claims?
