Loretta Fuddy was a Hawaiian health official and social worker. She served as Director of the Hawaii Department of Health and the Mayor of Kalawao County from 2011 until her death in 2013. Fuddy briefly became a household name on two occasions. The first was in April 2011, when she made national news for verifying the authenticity of certified copies of President Obama's birth certificate. The second time was after her death following a plane crash off the coast of Molokai. The ditching and subsequent evacuation were captured on a GoPro, and grainy copies of that video - perhaps in combination with people not getting enough sleep - sparked a conspiracy theory in which it is alleged that Fuddy was assassinated by one or more SCUBA divers who awaited her in the water. Let's get something straight: that sounds crazy because it is crazy. The thing is, the conspiracy theorists have a few frames of low-resolution video that they point to in support of their claim. And if you squint just right you can actually see what they are talking about. Spoiler alert: The conspiracy theorists are wrong. (I know, I know. What's next? Santa doesn't exist? Come on now.) Real World Police recently published - for the first time ever, anywhere - the full-length, full-HD video of the ditching and subsequent evacuation. Predictably, some loons showed up in the comments on that video parroting the Fuddy / diver assassination conspiracy theory. Rather than respond to them with text, this one calls for a video. And here it is. (Of course, this reveals is that Real World Police is part of the conspiracy. And who cares about what it shows here? This video is obviously doctored.) We'll be back to our regular programming with the next video. Hope you don't mind the interruption, and if you do — tough. [As a reminder, political comments that are not clearly related to the video may be removed without warning. That policy is party-neutral; Real World Police does not endorse any particular political agenda.]
