It’s so small that I think it’s unlikely.
You’re talking about a couple thousand people from all across the country.
People who think that the Feds are going to feel some pressure to step in and take the ball from the state.
If the time exists for this sort of thing, it’s after the trial is over, not now.
I think it’s pointless anyways, atleast in regards to achieving their stated goal.
BBM:
I'll take it even further:
It's not just the petition that in practical terms is pointless.
I think the amount of focus being directed at KK, KK's actions or inactions, what KK knew and when she knew it, how evil KK is or is not vis-a-via PF, how KK is just as culpable for the murder of KB, etc., is also pointless.
Who swung the bat?
The goal is justice for KB, which in this case will be achieved in one way and one way only:
PF being convicted and punished to the max extent possible under the law for her murder.
In practical terms, it doesn't matter how people feel about KK.
Feelings aren't facts.
Fact of the matter is, KK struck a deal.
It's a done deal with the DA as far as KK is concerned.
DA May made the correct determination that PF needs to be made to pay for his vicious, violent extinguishing of KB's light. The DA paid a steep price in the form of the sweetie beauty of a deal he struck with KK, but he made that deal because he recognized that he had to make PF pay for his evil actions, no matter the cost.
We can continue to spin our wheels endlessly round and round regarding KK.
Understandably, people need a release valve at times.
Ranting and venting will likely continue until the trial and well after it's concluded, in fact.
Ranting and venting about KK, however, does not and will not advance the cause of achieving justice for KB at this point.
In fact, it may be harmful to that cause, inasmuch as it really shifts the focus and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, takes the onus of responsibility off of PF.
I'm sure PF loves all the negative attention being focused on KK.
(Who swung the bat, again?)
I ain't interested in playing "devil's advocate" in this case.
PF already has an attorney. So there's that.
PF is the one who has been charged with the murder of KB.
Oh! Which reminds me:
PF swung the bat. Repeatedly.
Knocking KB's teeth out.
Splattering KB's lifeblood everywhere.
It was a gruesome, horrific scene.
KB's suffering must have been tremendous.
PF is an evil monster.
Go get him, Dan.
You go get this monster.
Bring justice for Kelsey.
