No one can write fiction stranger than this case....

Reports of dogs fainting from bleach in the garage, searchers are drawn to an area by the stench of a roadkill dog, but no one smells a 2 to 4 to 6 weeks (choose your entomologist)dead body have eaten, with a thriving maggot mass.

A single man has pictures of naked women on his computer and deleted (did I understand that correctly?) animated child porn files on his computer. Folks are calling for his head, but feel buckets of sympathy for a mother of young children trolling for sluts to come to her home for a night of orgies.

ala Mr. Traficant: Beam me up!

I'm trying really hard not to be sarcastic, but this is sheer lunacy!

The lunacy is how the public misses the most likely suspects -- the parents themselves. The parents are suspect at least as passive accomplices, like the recent case in St Louis, where the killer street bum hung with the Dad drinking the night before.

As to why some in the media is so hard on Westerfield is easy enough -- after all he is a working middle-class middle-aged white male, and members of that class are the media's most fave targets even in the most flimsy circumstance.

But they, the media, are even more adamant about and sucessful in circling the wagons around the two who should have been the most investigated and examined subjects -- little Danielle's own mother and father, Barbara and Damon Van Dam.

That is lunacy -- like the stock market has clearly shown how lunatic to the point of extreme carelessness and recklessness the great mass of the public can be -- now there in San Diego yet another great public madness continues. G-d bless the jury that can be sane in the face of it, careful where wanton carelessness is the general say, dutiful and steadfast where a meanhearted recklessness blows like a great wind.
