Snopes Confirms "Internet Rumor" that Shawn Lucas, who served Fraud Complaint on DNC, is Dead
Shawn Lucas, the man who served process on the DNC (i.e., a copy of the complaint and other associated pleadings required by court rules) regarding a class action lawsuit alleging fraud against Bernie sanders contributors by the DNC and DWS, has been confirmed dead by Snopes.
Odd that no major media outlet looked into this story. Snopes reported on it because they initially saw it as an "internet rumor" that required exposure as a hoax or confirmation as true. Well, I guess we can stop calling it a rumor at least.
The rumor spread on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter, where many users were concerned that Lucas' death may have been connected to his role as the process server for the DNC lawsuit. Some versions asserted Lucas was the "lead attorney" on the case, but we were unable to corroborate that claim. Lucas was named in a motion [PDF] filed on 22 July 2016 by the DNC, seeking to dismiss the suit on partial grounds of improper service.
We contacted Lucas' employer on 4 August 2016 to ask whether there was any truth to the rumor. According to an individual with whom we spoke at that company, Shawn Lucas died on 2 August 2016. The audibly and understandably shaken employee stated that interest in the circumstances of Lucas' death had prompted a number of phone calls and other queries, but the company had not yet ascertained any details about Lucas' cause of death and were unable to confirm anything more than the fact he had passed away.

No other traditional media outlet shows up on Google with coverage of this story, not even his hometown paper. Go run a Google search on his name. You would think there is some kind of media blackout or something, but that would obviously be tin foil hat territory that we should not go into. #snark

I watched the video of the serving of the papers. I can't
imagine that very calm, even boring, interaction led to anything. I suppose anything is possible, but I would bet this was some sort of natural cause. Which does not make it any less sad.

There have been a number of deaths
this year regarding people associated with the DNC or the Clinton campaign in some way, including the murder of Seth Rich, who worked for the DNC as a "self-described" data analyst. There are a number of unusual things regarding his death, including the fact that none of his personal items, including his wallet, was taken by whoever killed him, despite the motive for his homicide initially being described as an attempted robbery.
The person I spoke to yesterday who sent me the information on how Ryan Hughes acted while director of the Michigan campaign initially was willing for me to publicly identify them, but upon hearing of Mr. Lucas' death called me back before I posted that testimony asking for anonymity. That person was clearly afraid after learning of Mr. Lucas' death. I cannot even tell you why they were so spooked, but know that I was given a very specific reason by them that they stated justified their fear. It was not a tin foil hat reason either. If I told you the reason that person could be identified easily. That's all I can tell you.

That's OK, I don't need details. I'll be interested to see if
there is an investigation. At his age, there certainly should be.

Seth Rich occurred to me as well.
Shot in the back multiple times, with bruises indicating he fought for his life. Killed apparently walking home at about 4:19 am. Supposedly, was on the phone with his girlfriend when he was shot. At about 4:19 am??

If the killer(s) took anything from him, no one knows what it could have been.
Related? Coincidence? ¿Quién sabe?
We may never know.
How an idealist could work for the DNC in the first instance is a question in my mind.
Why the hell make a statement like that? There is no indication politics were not involved, either. Police are supposedly thinking it's a robbery gone bad, but there's no evidence of that, either. Nothing was taken.

The murder of the DNC staffer. Then the suicide of the Clinton researcher. Now the lawsuit server. What are the odds?

According to this website and my handy dandy calculator,
http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender
People in the US from 15 to 44 years old have about a 1/1000 chance of dying in any given year.
Top causes in these age groups include poisoning, suicide, homicide, accidents (weird; I wonder if poisoning includes drug overdose?).
So, if young people working around the Clintons number about 3000, then 3 deaths per year is about what you can expect.

Thank you for supplying some actual math
Which is not to say that we should not demand investigations of all three deaths, but could everyone please keep their hair on?

How many young people worked around Bernie?
Bernie Sanders had 10x more young people working for his campaign. But I don't see any dead bodies racking up on his side.
“He may not have gotten the words out but the thoughts were great.”
No idea. But if someone did die unexpectedly, do you think it
would be reported like this? Or would we have tremendous sympathy and that's all, because we don't expect the Bern organization to break the law? Actually technically, the paper server is a Bernie supporter.
And a baby that looked like Bernie died. Aww! http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/bernie-baby-dies/
But that's all I can find on Google right now, as most is devoted to Shawn Lucas at this point.
Anyway, I agree with other posters that each death of unknown cause, particularly of a young person, should be thoroughly investigated. I just don't think we have to panic.

(I apologize for not remembering their names, and I may have reversed who's who, but these three together seem to point to a horrifying pattern).

thanks, Steven D, for following the pieces that were written
about this case.
I am wondering how long it will take to get an autopsy report that one could consider "reliably reflecting the facts".
The darn thing is that sometimes you can't even trust the labs to do their jobs professionally or unencumbered by outside pressures.
Just wonder how well the camera man knew Shawn Lucas.
I hate all this stuff. I hate the internet and I hate the fact that everything can be manipulated, falsified, drowned in the digital mud and people are just hopeless to ever know what's true and what's not.
I'm wondering
if an autopsy will even be done, or if so, the report made public.
I've seen autopsies refused in similar cases until publicity in major media resulted is forcing the authority's hand.
This story is literally only getting attention in "fringe" outlets or on social media. I suspect the reason for his death will never be made public absent a great deal of MSM publicity, or the family hiring their own forensic expert to perform an autopsy.

I always thought it was routine to autopsy
young people who die of no apparent cause.

No
Only if there is reason to suspect suspicious circumstances. Here's a list for Florida:
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060630075119AA51gJT
Obviously, Mr. Lucas was not a child, so his death would have to fall under one of the other circumstances, such as those indicating suicide, homicide, evidence of the reckless of negligent conduct by others that led to his death, etc. So far we've seen no indication any of those circumstances were present. The only one that you can hang your hat on is "unexpected death by otherwise healthy person." but that is left to the discretion of the Medical Examiner who generally do not perform autopsies if they believe (or are led to believe) natural causes are the explanation for the death:
As far as I know the police have yet to release any report that would indicate reasons requiring an autopsy. Lack of media coverage, of course, would allow them to just wrap the case up as a death by natural causes. That would be the easiest, quickest way to dispose of the case and get it off their caseload.
The family could pay for an independent autopsy. Whether they will or not depends a great deal on whether they can afford it. The longer one waits to do an autopsy, the more likely evidence of foul play would be so degraded it would be impossible to detect.

Dead men tell no tales
There's nothing "tinfoil hat" about this at this point, though the news blackout will, in fact end, now that Snopes has weighed in. The ridiculing of suspicious ex-Democrats will begin shortly.
Occam, people. These people are all connected to an organization where we have seen demonstrable proof of election fraud, over and over and over.
If all the principals die, there's no more investigation of election fraud. If one or two more people turn up dead, nobody else will pick up the case and run with it. Because you just never know what might happen to you....
To stop an investigation or lawsuit
you don't need to kill every potential witness or individual associated with it, just enough people to intimidate the rest. I would imagine that The Beck firm which filed this class action suit is being heavily pressured to withdraw it or settle out of court at this moment.
"You can't just leave those who created the problem in charge of the solution."---Tyree Scott
Sad to say nothing surprises me anymore
Have you heard Hillary Clinton explain that FBI Director Comey determined she did nothing wrong. Seriously. Washington Post gave her 4 Pinocchios, and pants on fire. Utter lies. Looking directly into the camera and lying.
What difference does it make? Keep repeating the same lies, refuse to have a press conference, try to scare people, rinse & repeat.
MSM will not report anything. We, and Shawn, deserve better. We all do.
Comey's intent standard was pure bs.
He said things like she did not intend to betray the US or something of the kind.
Since when is that a standard for mishandling information that was "above top secret?"
As far as not intending to violate the law, that is also bs. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" is another way of saying that you don't even have to know the law exists in order to be found guilty.
His attempts to exonerate her were downright laughable.

Has anyone seen this interview?
Comes off as a little too CT for me, but at least some of it is plausible:
Interview with election fraud lawyer Cliff Arnebeck.
Just out today.
Absolutely
That would just piss me off more, though.
They better not withdraw it, or they'll have two million pissed off people to deal with. Including me, I'm in on that suit, as I'm sure a number of others here are.
I'm one of them!
I doubt they could drop it at this point. Not unless they want 2 million people suing them. Seems we have an binding agreement with them now to represent us! I doubt they would really want to drop this suit. This has got to be a cash cow for them! How could they lose? It will probably never go to trial and the DNC will come to some agreement to settle out of court, but either way it goes, I expect it to cost them a large sum of money and the attorneys surely wouldn't want to miss out on their cut!

the morning news website seems to me way too slick
and too inclusive of various subjects to not be funded by some "rich guys in power".
Whatever. Makes no sense to even speculate about all those dead people.
The US is full of "mysterious" dead people, whose "cause of death and or who killed whom" is never proven despite decades of "investigative reporting' on them. Jeez, why even bother? Aren't we all dying anyway?
As Hillary herself would say...
At this point, what difference does it make?
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

That was about lying.
The question was about the story that some nutter who had made a video was behind the killings. Hillary's point was, with four Americans dead, what difference did it make if the American public had been lied to by their government?
Duh, a big difference.
[edited] O fuck that shit - the nutter who made the video?
(this comment of HenryWallace did upset me, but it could be that I misunderstood what he wrote and wrongly attributed his comment to relate to mine. If that is the case, I apologize. But I realize that he didn't respond and did not confirm that I made the wrong assumption.
Anyhow, I am the last person to engage in speculation and I don't want to be drawn into one. The comments in this thread are feel like as if someone wants to "test us out". How nutty CT thoughts might we have. I don't like that. Just to make that clear.
Shouldn't have commented at all - but it happened, so no way around it to clarify it)
I hope you didn't mean to interpret my comment above in which I said
in that kind of way.
I hope I don't get that paranoid. Jeez. I mentioned this only, because I do believe that experienced cameramen "see" more things than other people and on their way often "hear little thing" that help to understand stuff.
Please confirm that you didn't refer to my comment. I would be extremely "unhappy" about it and as my ex used to say "you wouldn't like me if I were unhappy".
Are you an asshole in real life?
Or do you just play one on the internet?

Duplicate post.
I'm not the one posting personal insults.
I have no idea what you thought my post meant, but apparently you misunderstood it. I assumed that you were familiar with the context of the words of Hillary that you quoted in the post of yours to which I replied.
No matter how you understood my post, though, that is a heck of a reply.

I misunderstood, am confused and apologized. Too tired
to get back to the links. I take my whole comment back. I don't know why you linked to those videos. They had nothing to do with my reaction.
I understood your comment to mean that the person you called the "nutter, who made the video" as being the videographer Ricardo O. Villalba, the man who filmed the "serving the papers to sue the DNC with the class action suit for fraud."
Then I understood your words that you believed that I may believe that that cameraman has something to do with the death of Shawn Lucas.
In my mind that connection you had made (at least that's how I interpreted your comment) enraged me.
So, I am now more confused what you did refer to with the "nutter who made that video" and to which video you referred.
For me this is over. As I already said, I apologized to you, because it seems that I misunderstood your comment.

Looks pretty clear that JFK & RFK were assassinated by the MIC/Dulles brothers. And not a single president since has stood up to the MIC. Heard a joke once about each president being shown a video of the JFK assassination and then given their marching orders. Not so sure it's a joke anymore.
Either I've become a certified tin foil hat wearing CT nut or a violent revolution is unavoidable. I hope it's the former.
I'm betting on the latter

Don't worry about a tin foil hat. Just google the death of William Colby.
The Troubles cynicized me on dirty wars
The British and the US are birds of a feather, but then again every state with a military and/or intelligence service plays these games of destruction with the lives of innocence.
The lead investigator for the crash was an ex CIA person
as I recall and the crash was quite suspicious. The lead up to the invasion of Iraq was clearly a grand conspiracy, with active conspirators like Bush, Rove, and Cheney and conspiracy enablers like the great majority of the press. Large scale, malevolent conspiracies are possible and have occurred. We should not look for conspiracies in everything, but neither should we dismiss the possibility of conspiracies out of hand.
Coincidence may be cause
for justifiable suspicion, but it falls far short of being evidence for murder. These coincidences are worth investigating (to whatever extent that is possible) but making accusations based solely on them would, I think be very premature.
