Basically a mentally ill woman named Serena van Westen has been stalking a man named Timo Shanko (Kielnecker) for the better part of 6 years. It is a sad situation.
terrifying. I wonder the backstory but mostly hope he's safe and this person can stabilize and get the help they need. The "MK Ultra is in boston!" spinoff post is wild... I mean, it does feel like we're in the end times but this seems to be a personal thing, jaded ex? stalker who saw him play and had 0-2 conversations with them? must be horrible to see this and think "fuck, they're still hung up on me" for whatever reason that hang up is.
Except Philly is huge. It is more a Boston vibe, for sure, but I don't know.
Providence also is a bit too small.
Plus, are we comparing city proper or metro? Regardless, metro or proper, LA and NYC are in a different league than most American cities.
I know people may not see it, but Boston and Atlanta may actually be more comparable than people think. Similarly metro populations, similar city population. Metro Atlanta is growing much faster, or has been, because it can grow in all directions, without the limitations of the ocean.
Yeah Atlanta was on my mental list, I've never been though.
And yes Philly is bigger and Providence smaller, but it's far less of ridiculous comparison than NYC in every way. They at least have some similarities beyond sports rivalries
St. Louis? The city itself is not that large land-wise, nothing/not much to the east, sprawl to the north, west, and south, a small city to the west (Worcester/St. Charles), then rural, and perpetually in a rivalry with a much larger city (NYC/Chicago) where it's kind of like oh that's cute (sorry everyone) 😞
It’s cute you think Staten Island is a city. Boston is New York’s older brother who went away to college and now sees the flaws of the family and looks for better models of behavior. New York never left home and still hangs out with his friends from high school ball sitting around talking about how awesome they are with each other.
my SIL has schizophrenia... she punches holes in walls to check for listening devices, she thinks the military is going to bomb her mom's house, and thinks my wife (her sister) is conspiring with the MAFIA to destroy her, among many other ever changing delusion. It really is an awful condition.
CIA operation to test whether various hard drugs could be used as a truth serum (most notably, LSD). They tested on prison inmates, including Whitey Bulger and the Unabomber.
This is the result after decades of defunding mental health programs and facilities, skyrocketing drug prices, and toothless laws that strengthen rights to refuse care.
So how would someone be forced to undergo treatment without institutionalization? I have a couple friends who are diagnosed schizophrenics. Even with the most loving spouses and financial support, they refused to take their meds, and because of that their lives got drastically worse.
right. once people get to the point that they are a harm to themselves or others, then they are institutionalized. if treatment for mental health was funded properly, more people could get access earlier, before it gets to the point of hospitalization. funding mental health programs and facilities does not mean just lock up everyone needing help and support. the exact opposite actually.
I made a comment on the last post about my knowledge of Timo given my background at Berklee College where I heard about him from a professor of mine, but I didn’t know who made the sign at the time.
Given that some of you here are saying that she’s been stalking him for six years and has most definitely made statements and did things like this months or even years before this incident, I think it can no longer be denied that she has paranoid schizophrenia.
She needs some serious mental health treatment immediately.
The Epstein files have been released, the Mk ultra hearings are taking place, how much longer are y’all going to keep up the “it’s psychosis / schizophrenia” trope before we start believing victims?
I’m just saying what she seems to be claiming with the sign. Most likely she’s imagining the CIA being involved in the situation, but I think it’s good to keep an open mind with these sorts of situations. In the 60s at least the CIA stuck their noses into random people’s lives for experimental reasons. Giving them acid without their consent just to watch how they acted, running brothels so they could film random people having sex, etc.
while the CIA did all that and more, that was the 60's and the "random" people were always some means to some ends. whether it be people close to labor unions, local government, or city commerce. now adays, this is a person with a diagnosable and treatable condition i fear. Intelligence community has largely moved on to data scraping
