It’s because they ARE pure evil.
I think they should be seeking other avenues to publicize this, gag orders be damned. Maybe a procession of Patriot Riders and other tough-looking bikers going down the street near the place of Justina’s imprisonment, flying huge FREE JUSTINA banners? A spontaneous march of thousands? If I were her parents, I’d even consider appealing to Vladimir Putin to publicize the case internationally, it would be a ripe opportunity for the Russians to rub the USG’s nose in their own iniquity and hypocrisy. When someone evil has your child in their clutches, evil or no, any available tool will do to hack at those hands until they loose your child from their grasp.
I know I would be absolutely frantic, just as Mr & Mrs Pelletier are, if this were my kid. At some point.....months ago....I would have looked up some retired Navy Seals for a private duty expedition and have a chartered plane waiting.
The Pelletiers have tried to work within the *system*.....desperate measures are in order....and I don’t think anyone would blame them.
