It sort of reminds me of Clinton after the Ron Brown service.....tears to laughter in the literal blink of a eye.
Exactly!
People who have only seen Brenda's perfect ten second BOOOO HOOOO have no idea what we mean. They need to see the minutes before and after, just like we saw with Clinton at the Ron Brown funeral. Imagine if people only saw Clinton "sincerely weeping" for his friend Ron, and not the rest of it? It totally changes your perception.
On second thought, no you wouldn't. You're what they call "Fully Agendized."
Unless the perp was known to the family and the dog. Mrs. VD lied about dancing with Westerfield. What else might she be concealing?
This is exactly why I think that dear old dad has a part to play in this terrible tragedy. It isn't over 'til all the evidence is examined, all stories are checked out and all witnesses are questioned.
Bigot.
Especially, if, as mentioned by DVD, they have a child (Danielle) that sleepwalks! My daughter had a problem with sleepwalking, so I put additional locks on all the doors (out of her reach). For them not to check on a daughter that sleepwalks after doors are found ajar is just too farfetched for me to believe.
Ken was asking Brenda "but do you think she was already missing after you got back from the bar?" and "you said you got back at 230?": in the background you hear Damon clearly whispering directions to Brenda (NOT meant to be heard!!) "Don't talk about the timeline! Stay away from the timeline!"
It's an incredible interview, after they got "burned" by the very sharp John and Ken they got the PR firm and stopped dealing directly with media.
This was the same interview where John and Ken asked about her dancing with Westerfield at Dad's: Brenda was shocked, like she did not know this was known. Her "denial" was purely Clintonian: she only said "I don'e recall dancing with him, he may have danced with one of my friends". That is a very close paraphrase.
I hope that there is a tape of that John and Ken interview on KFI, in retrospect it is EXPLOSIVE
You called Travis.......LOL.....FresnoDA

| Excerpts from the live broadcast on the street where Danielle van Dam was abducted 2 weeks earlier. John is accosted by members of the Psychic Friends Network, David Westerfield leads undercover cops to fried chicken, then slams the door in John and Ken’s face. Neither Mr. Westerfield nor Mr. Kobylt were arrested over the course of the broadcast. | ||
Yes,as in "safe again in the arms of the Lord.". A common expression used by members of several large religious cults. I'm sure you have heard this yourself and know that is what they meant,but are going to try your best to spin it into something else.
BTW,clever of you to use a old photo in this to try to make people think it was taken at the same time as the press release.
The "weakness" is a couple of parents (outside the house itself, apparently locked in the garage for illicit and unusual activities) leaving a child unattended and ignoring, not once that night but TWICE (from their own statements), the alarm system of their home. Exploited "weakness"? Give me a break. How did he gain access? How did he know where she slept--look at your neighbor's homes. Unless you've been there, you likely haven't a clue, despite similar or identical floor plans, who sleeps where excluding (likely) the master suite. Their behavior CREATED his opportunity. If they'd been in the home itself, sleeping as they claimed, would have have dared to snatch her? If they'd paid attention to their alarm system, what then? These are NOT blameless "victims". Danielle is a victim of their incompetence as parents, as protectors ever bit as much as a victim of her murder.
I am sorry but I really dont feel good about condemning the parents at this point. We all have skeletons in our closets. That does not make us bad parents.
These are no 'mere' skeletons. A skeleton in the closet is hiding a past affair, not creating opportunities for your children to be abducted or killed. The condemnation is not about sex, this is about life-threateningly bad parenting.
Do you feel the same way about parents who 'forget' their children in the car for hours to gab on the telephone only for the child to die of heat stroke?
With Mark Klass and John Walsh on the families side I just dont understand some attacking the parents in such a slanderous manner.
Victim advocates both, Klass (btw, KFMB reported his foundation stands to benefit financially from the Van Dam search fund) and Walsh are siding with parents who share their experiences of having outlived a child. Neither is likely able to see this "objectively", instead both look at this through his own grief. I don't recall the Walsh case clearly, but I understand the Klass case was different in that Polly was spirited away through an adjacent sliding glass door and into the woods behind her home. No ignored alarms, no absenteeism for "adult" play.
It was downright offensive for the Van Dams to deceitfully suggest they were representative of every parent. Child abduction can happen to anyone, but this case isn't usual and they're certainly not lilly white and blameless for what happened. I'd like to see them investigated (by law enforcement and/or child protective services) as perhaps their two boys should be moved to a safer environment. I don't believe in this false idea of, "Leave them alone, haven't they suffered enough in losing Danielle."
So, he's tooling along, gets to where he's going and "Ohmygosh, there's a dead kid! Guess I need t'dump her in the bushes so nobody'll think I killed her."
The truth will come out. If he's innocent, I'll apologize to you.
You see the trumpeted and widely publicized cases of people in positions of trust who've abused that trust, and you've inferred from that, that the threat is universal.
You have been manipulated by the Leftist media's campaign to sow distrust of what were once society's leaders, and you don't even know it.
How sad.
Of course,and this is all you ever cared about to start with. The murdered little girl was only a useful tool for you to beat them over the head with. Now that you think they will become fellow cult members,everything is just peachy-keen.
How do you know? With that little choker around her neck, it sure makes it look like she was being groomed for the porn industry.
