I believe the "lifestyle comments", have hit a nerve with some on FR. It seems that those who attack folks with a negative feeling for the parents are also those who defend other alternative lifestyles as free speech, for the most part.
Your response to this has been lucid and clear. I appreciate your tone and your well thought out argument. As for myself, I continue to wait for LE to finish their work. I also continue to have little or no respect for the parents in this matter and will continue to make my feeling known, regardless of personal attacks.
Thank you and I agree completely with your statement above.
I suppose that some of us are unable to completely separate the "reported" lifestyle with the event. There just seems to be such fertile ground for a connection.
IF RUMORS ARE TRUE, my opinion of the parents and that to which their children are exposed would be no different if no crime had occurred at all.
The fact that both victim's family and perp may be sexually deviant ignites a spark of suspicion in a lot of people. It seems like a natural reaction.
