A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

    (no, Charlie Kirk’s shooter wasn’t a leftist)

    Yes he was, and I dont really understand why anyone is making this an argument. If he was right wing, he would have loved Kirk. Everyone who knows him said he was holding very strong pro LGBT opinions, something an extremist right winger wouldnt. He was also dating a trans woman… I mean, need I go on?

    Why the fuck are you all so bothered that this nutjob was one of yours??? Its not like youre an unhinged psycho as well, just because you share opinions.

      The suspect has not made a comment on his political leanings. The only person who has is Utah Republican governor Spencer Cox, and republican president Donald Trump, neither of which are well known for their level headed honesty.

          Because I’m an immigrant and green card holder and the current administration is adversarial towards people like me, and stoking those fires leads to a worse quality of life for me and my family.

            And what does any of that have to do with the shooter??? Am I a speaking a different fucking language here? What does you being an immigrant have to do with whether of not the shooter was left or right wing???

              The confidence you have to belittle the person you’re responding to is called privilege - you comment without fear, and have provided 0 credible citations to your claims that he was pro-alphabet people. Don’t just pretend to be judicious, it’s pretty blatant. Dont @ me unless you have citations.

              You obviously can understand simple psychology that no one wants someone who commits a heinous crime to be on their side… like it’s not complicated why no one wants to claim him…

                And yet that side was all to happy to take to the internet and cheer on his actions, making social media posts in celebration. Making memes mocking the death of Kirk. And worst of all, calling for the rest of his family to met a similar fate. Including his fucking children.

                Youll have to run that one by me again, big chap. Im getting a big ol whiff of shit coming out the kitchen as you try to serve it…

                    Yeah, cos only someone who liked him could find the murder of someone to be repugnant. Only someone who liked him, could possible think that wanting his wife and kids dead as well was fucking disgusting…

                    And those are “your” people. The same people who say the shooter was a right wing loon, are the same people who celebrate what he did. You know, like the other person who is currently replying to me…

      most yankees don’t have coherent political views

      He was a mormon kid who wanted people to be nice to each other. And shot someone about it. That’s not really right or left.

      It has nothing to do with what he “would have” thought of Kirk. What’s established by his family’s testimony is that he broke from their conservative ideologies not long before his heinous act and expressed sympathy for Leftist views. Yes, he absolutely was Left-leaning, but came from a Right-wing family.

      Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. The statistics still show the Right-wing extremists are more violent on average, and by a long shot.

        heinous act

        lmao. The dude was literally using weasel words to imply trans people and black people are responsible for school shootings when his neck did that.

        Stopping him from justifying violence against marginalized people is the opposite of heinous.
