Wow, I've only been away a few hours, but I am way behind.
I can't quote your post, saqqara, as it's way back on the other thread now, but I agree with you.
I kind of feel bad for people, such as this Mike Walker character, who have not directly involved themselves in the case, but are still being scrutinized. There is absolutely no evidence to support that he has anything to do with any of this, yet I think one poster even suggested that his new car could have been a pay off from Casey for something? That is kind of overboard, to me...no offense to the poster. That's insinuating that this guy, who has not injected himself into the case at all, is guilty of something.
I do agree with you- I have things on my myspace that might cause people to think I'm a dark person- hell, some of my art work is a bit dark at times, but I'm certainly NOT a dark person. Also, I hang out with lots of people who have tattoos- I even dated two tattoo artists. It doesn't mean I'm into gangs or drugs...I also have friends who have questionable myspaces, or give peace signs, or "the shocker" in photos, but they certainly aren't in gangs.
But it's not just about these people's myspace, because even Patrick, who has his religious affiliations listed all over his myspace, and no evidence of drugs, etc, is still a part of these speculations. So is the Mike Walker from oveido who obviously was very into electronics and robotics, and seemed to be very studious...someone noted that people haven't sent him messages, even though he was logged in?
I think some of the speculation gets a bit crazy in these cases
But, I can't blame the posters here for wanting to figure things out. I guess you just have to exhaust all options before you form a final opinion, and I think that's what these posters are doing. So I can see why they are doing it. They want to examine all sides before they move on.
But I would certainly hate to be on the opposite ends of these sometimes hurtful allegations, based on my myspace, or worse, on contents of a (perhaps distant) friend's myspace. I'm willing to bet that a lot of these myspace friends of Casey's are horrified at the prospect that she could have hurt her child, and are not in any way involved.
Just my thoughts on it
Best regards to everyone, and certainly no hard feelings.
