John said they have been asked every conceivable question.
BS
``There's no question we're uncomfortable answering,'' he said.
more BS
Let's look at some more:
``There's been no common sense applied to any of this,'' John said. ``People don't live full normal lives for 50 years, turn into a madman in the middle of the night, kill their child, and wake up the next morning like nothing happened. And they don't go on to live three years, under intense pressure, and not buckle.''
Firstly, his idea of common sense seems to be different from that of most people. Secondly, this is the CLASSIC IDI propaganda. I'm not aware of anyone who thinks that someone in the house just suddenly turned into a madman. But perhaps most importantly, his assertion that people under intense pressure would buckle is BS in a concentrated form. There are people who have been in prison 20 years and more who still swear they didn't do it!
``We've not ever faulted anybody for looking at us,'' Patsy said. ``Our child, our home, we're the parents. But don't stop there. That's the trouble.''
Well, we KNOW that's not true. For one thing, that's always been another staple of Ramsey propaganda: that LE didn't bother looking anywhere else. That's certainly not true. Everyone from Mark Beckner to Henry Lee has stated that every path was examined. Some, like Steve Thomas and Mike Kane have gone further than that. They've stated that the DA was not interested in pursuing any line of investigation that DID involve the Ramseys.
As for not faulting anyone for looking at them, what, do they think we're *advertiser censored**in' STUPID, or something? They've acted and SAID that they were offended that someone would suspect them.
Police are too quick to assume that a dead child means a killer parent, the Ramseys say. When parents do kill, they say, there's history: previous abuse or violence, drug use, other problems.
We know that's not true, either. At least, not the way they claim.
``Of parents who kill their kids, how many of those were normal families who loved their children and went to church on Sunday and had no history of any problem at all?'' John said. ``How many of those killed their children, percentage-wise?''
Probably a lot more than we'd like to believe.
``This is not just about the poor Ramseys and look what it's done to us. This has been done to a lot of people that we don't know about.''
Yeah, I'm sure.
Not only do I have trouble believing that, but the idea that the Ramseys actually CARE about those other people isn't just laughable, it's downright offensive. I'm sure I'm not the only person who felt like putting his fist through the monitor screen at that idiot book-reviewer's claim that John Ramsey wants to HELP people.
The police are not interested in justice,'' John said. ``They are interested in making an arrest. Prosecutors are interested in getting a conviction. The interest in justice only comes secondary.
Sounds like the usual drivel from professional defense attorneys. Am I the only one who is reminded of the "ventriloquist" bit from the movie
Chicago?
``I was up in that bedroom, with my suitcase, going, `What does one take when one goes to the brig?' '' Patsy said.
You know, this really roasts my duck, folks. This isn't the first time Patsy made a joke about going to the slammer. One is reminded of her cracks about if she'd be allowed to take her red velvet pillow and if prison stripes would make her look fat.
I feel like a jerk for saying this, but I'm pretty sure if Patsy went to prison, she'd have a LOT worse to worry about! By now, I imagine we've all heard the stories about what other inmates do to prisoners who hurt children, right? Well, most of those stories come from MEN's prisons. Women's are WORSE. Add to that she was a pretty woman, weak from illness and apparently very genteel. She would NOT do well in prison. And that's as far as I feel like going with that line of thought.
``Anybody who's ever had a child, and thinks that, has to have rocks in their heads,'' Patsy said. ``I mean, I love my husband. But I adore, passionately, my children. And if he ever laid a hand on them, I'd knock his block off. People just don't use their common sense.''
Talk is cheap, folks. By now, most of us should be familiar with the cases where one spouse has stuck by another who had killed a child of theirs. I seem to recall that a few of us were talking about that just a few weeks ago. (Whatever happened to Sabot anyway? Things were getting interesting!)
``The police asked me that question,'' John said. ``I had to think about it, because I'd never even thought about it. The police said, `Just what if Patsy had done this? Would you turn her in? Would you turn on her?' Of course I would. I would have to.''
More BS.
The Ramseys dismiss the idea that they received kid-glove treatment from the police early on because they were wealthy and white
Well, he can dismiss it all he likes. In our system, money and whiteness talk. That's a simple, unpleasant fact of life.
``If we were treated any better than anybody else, then . . . '' John said.
``I'd hate to be treated any worse,'' Patsy said.
Boo-*advertiser censored**in'-hoo. Very funny. I could make a really nasty remark, but it's a Sunday, so I won't. So I'll just say this:
the simple fact is that if they HADN'T had that money, if they HADN'T been coddled by those rum-dums in the DA's office, if they HADN'T had a law firm who controlled half the state and was connected with the Democratic Party, they would be in prison this very day.
And that's all I'm going to say for now. I promised myself I wasn't going to fly off the handle today, that I was going be a good Catholic boy today. Guess I made a mess of that. But I'm not ready to start breathing fire just yet.
