He also told her that his dad had been sent to Bellingham by some kind of group, perhaps a military group, but the details were hazy.

Nothing to see here. Move on.

Bellingham High School cheerleader Briana Axelsson...

Great story about another airhead and a killer...

[spetznaz]

I just saw some students in that highschool Malvo attended say that he was a very nice chap, and they could not believe that it was him who did it. Which is quite interesting because these clean cut kids are defending someone who is for all purposes part of the sniping spree.

I guess this might be a Dr. Jekyl/ Mr. Hyde phenomenom where Malvo may have been a good chap at school but outside he was a terror since i doubt those kids would try to defend a killer outright. Or maybe the kid was basically within the norm limits of decency until he met Muhammad at the homeless center (one thing that is for certain is that the defence will surely try that one out during the trial). However whatever the impetus that duo still shot people without caring about the consequences of their actions, meaning that even if the kid was indoctrinated he would still be deserving of punishment (unless the defense says the kid was 'possessed' by Muhammad and became an automaton with no control over his actions).

That might seem ludicrous, but remember the legal system does not necessarily follow justice but the legal process (there is a subtle difference between the two, and in some cases like OJ Simpson the divergence can be more overt than subtle). However in this case i really doubt this murderous duo will walk free because for a person to pull of legal juijitsu then a very (or better yet extremely) competent lawyer (or better yet law team) is required that has a perfect grasp of jurisprudence, plus an ability to pick up mistakes made by the prosecution and use them to their advantage (eg think how the LAPD provided the defense with ammunition like 'tampered' crime scenes and investigators who had been making racial remarks in public). This lawyer (law team) requires a lot of money, a whole lot of money .....and that is one thing these two fellas do not have! Meaning they will have to rely on a court provided 'defence' which means they are certain to be prosecuted (lol, i saw the lawyer provided for that kook Muhammad being interviewed and that guy is either not adept at law or he is holding back for the trial, lol). Thus these guys will thankfully be prosecuted, unless some bolt out of the blue occurs, which in a case of people with little money is highly improbable if not impossible.

And as an aside i also saw a family member being interviewed, and she said that she saw that Muhammad guy force Malvo to sustain himself on a diet of honey and crackers (lol, yep, you read that right)!

Personally i find the relationship between Muhammad and Malvo very 'suspect.'

Malvo never ate lunch

SPACE ALIENS! I knew it! And you thought he was picked up by Immigration 'cause he was from Jamaica!

He also told her that his dad had been sent to Bellingham by some kind of group, perhaps a military group, but the details were hazy. Axelsson got the impression that perhaps Malvo's dad was still in the armed forces.

Here is the thing about the article that JUMPS out at me..

Malvo's dad IS still in the armed forces, just not ours.

Axelsson saw Malvo as one of many school friends, but Malvo may have wanted something more from the relationship. He sent her a small greeting card that had a picture of a coffee cup on the front, with an inscription that said something about the joy of waking up with coffee.

Inside, the card said, "I hope you like it dark."

OMG. This is what high school kids are saying to each other????? Yikes.

Just on the face value, with the information we have, it seems like this Williams fellow liked to have a bit of power. Since the women in his life wouldn't put up with it, he did the only thing he could: find a young man who he could force his will on.

Sounds like a jihadist group.

Oh, Daddy, how come you never like any of the boys I bring home?!

BTW..."I hope you like it dark"? Boys will be boys...
