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.

When leftists attack so few people (no, Charlie Kirk's shooter wasn't a leftist) that they just need to fake their own shit all the damn time.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

This is some real imbecile shit

[-] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

We've got some real winners out here in Jersey, unfortunately.

This should serve as a reminder that fascists will do ANYTHING to get what they want.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Also should serve as a reminder that you should believe NOTHING they say or claim, no matter how atrocious, because the chances of it being bullshit are higher than it being truth, and what nothing more than to provoke civil unrest if not outright civil war with their lies and bullshit.

Isnt she also covered in scars cause she said the imaginary liberals cut her up?

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 24 points 2 days ago

This should convince most folks the right are trying to start a civil war, but it won't.

[-] Lightfire228@pawb.social 166 points 3 days ago

Me: I wonder how they know it was staged

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

Lol

I wasn't aware zip ties were that hard to find for some people

I guess when you order everything online your whole life, you may never develop a sense of what stores and what departments items are usually sold in. 🤔

[-] nulluser@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I'm a regular customer at home improvement stores, and I make it a point to occasionally just go wander down aisles I haven't been down in a while and just browse through what's available.

It's not uncommon for me to exclaim, "Oh! I didn't know THAT existed?" or "Oh! THAT'S what that's called/where to get those!". Other times it's, "What on earth is THAT for?!?" but then 6 months later I'll be like, "BRB, gotta go get one of those things."

I'm of the opinion that even people that don't own/maintain their own home would benefit from the esoteric knowledge of what can be found on the bottom shelf in the back corner of their local home improvement stores. I don't care what your hobby or passion is. If you don't frequent the home improvement stores, there's probably something there that you can repurpose for your own benefit that you'll wish you knew existed a year ago.

If you have them nearby, it’s also good to know what’s at building/home resale places, like Habitat for Humanity re-store. Many of them have a lot more variety than you’d think, including furniture, tools, chains and wires, paint, etc. in addition to building materials. Sometimes they get big donations of new stuff like tile, lightbulbs, or insulation. I just got 10 LED lightbulbs for $3.50 total.

I totally agree. Browsing seems to be going away with moving from physical to algorithmically presented online stores.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago

Did... did this idiot think they weren't going to go to the hospital with her and then when the ER doc tried to clean the wound it... wiped away...that the police were going to just think the 3 guys where just wanting to have a dress up tea party or something.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 50 points 3 days ago

did this idiot think

Lemme stop you right there.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Lol fair enough

[-] nullroot@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

A body mod artist does literally wound you, it's not paint. It's plugs cut out, sub dermals inserted, or just ears pierced if you're vanilla, that's the sort of thing they do.

[-] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

ER staff smells that BS in seconds of opening her mouth.

[-] piranhaconda@mander.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

"She had lacerations on her face, neck, chest and shoulder"

Scarification is a form of body mod

THE ZIP TIES ARE COMING FROM THE HOUSE.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

It's a miracle she didn't Google "Someone to scratch letters into my skin near me"

[-] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

There’s money in and around Egg Harbor. She didn’t need to Google where to find somebody to cut her up, she probably already knew four of those guys. But she’d never used a hardware store before.

These fuckers dont even know tk clear their own cache and cookies...

That was very Smollett-minded of her.

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

Yep he was the first thing I thought of too

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

I’m more surprised the DOJ is going after her for this rather than giving her a medal.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 143 points 4 days ago

They really like to manufacture unreality and sell it as true.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 82 points 4 days ago

This one is super weird though. Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her? I'm guessing she's another alcoholic for trump. Regardless, she's in for a ride:

Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

[-] hovercat 22 points 3 days ago

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

For the same reason these people think that someone would Sharpie "FUCK ICE" onto a clip of bullets after killing only detainees at an ICE facility, and then just plop it on the ground.

[-] brendansimms@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

i think it was 'anti-ice' written with a pen, which is even moreso clearly fake

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 83 points 4 days ago

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

Many MAGAts that face social consequences for their MAGAtism cry victim and and then circled with attention and monetary support by other MAGAts. Since they aren't actually victims and they want the attention, they manufacture the victim status.

Sadly this isn't confined to MAGAts. Actor Jussie Smollett did the same thing attempting to manufacture victimhood of a hate crime. What really angers me about Smollett is that there are real victims of race based hate crimes and his antics cast doubt on those other real victim's situations.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

It's not as weird once you realize that they need everyone to be as crazy and stupid as they are. They can't stand a world where that's not true.

Really stupid. She could have just said a slur on tik tok and been a millionaire from donations by now.

Why is it always the right entangling themselves in crime?

I hope a critter peed on her

Edit: anyone who can’t guess where to buy zip ties is a moron

Jesus, I had to go into the article to figure out what you were talking about and it's so pathetic.

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

"zip ties near me", amazing, perfectly fitting for our era of unreality
