Especially knowing that in so many of these cases, searchers and volunteer searchers would be all over the places he'd been--and remember, he did voluntarily disclose his whereabouts on his weekend trip.
"... and that would mean "desertion"?"
See Quimby's post #240--it appears to be military-related.
"Amore, the man said "NOT GUILTY" and we are trying to understand perhaps WHY he might not be NOT GUILTY. "
People do this very thing on almost every single thread. Click on one of the terrorism related threads, and people speculate about why this terrorist did that, or why the FBI did something else. Click on one of the elections threads, and people are speculating about why this guy said that, or why another guy voted on a bill in a certain way. And remember the Chandra Levy threads? And the Florida election threads? No one ever thinks twice, and almost everyone indulges in a little speculation of their own. Why are these Danielle threads different, I wonder?
Yes, and they are entitled to it. You know, I think some of the wildest threads we've had going have been the Clinton ones. I see a double-standard in a few people here..some of very same people who judge Clinton on rumor and inuendo, are suddenly becoming "appauled" at the rumor mill concerning the van Dams life style, and OTOH, label Westerfield a perverted child porn molester, because he has been "charged".
DW may well be guilty, and if he is, should pay the penalty. Then again, he may not be guilty. Someone is. We're for truth, justice and the American way. I dare anyone to take that right away from me. The "cheap shots" and sarcastic little "LOL's" do nothing but take away from the seriousness of the discussion.....
Everyone's opinion is important, even if it sounds far-fetched or off the wall. Could be one of the far-fetched theories just might be the case.
How are we going to get answers if we don't ask questions?
End of rant.
