I get what you're saying (I think) and I agree.
I think what you're trying to say is John Q. Public sees a story like this case - follows it on NG for the 4 - 5 nights she was on and at first glance, wants to help.
The public doesn't like to "process" or "think about" everything that we have gone over in here. They probably don't even know about most of it. They act out of emotion and their first emotion is that a mother doesn't have her child - and that's sad.
In our world today - people see and hear about crimes everyday. Its everywhere - its ugly - its very hard to understand. And just like some experts want to blame children who become violent on the video games - can it not be said that the public, in general, is becoming desensitized to violence and crime?
We just had a high school principal here who was arrested for beating his own 15 year old daughter with an electrical cord. You can not imagine how many people - students and parents, community members are SUPPORTING this guy! Yep. I said supporting.
I'm disgusted with this case. I've been mostly lurking in the past day or so - only contributing when I see a need to - or a question to clear up. I can see both "sides" in all of this but we simply don't have all the facts and without those no one can form an educated conclusion. I'm keeping the faith that the Rangers and the FBI know what they are doing - they deal with this on a daily basis and things happen in the background that we know nothing of. So, we sit here and wait.
All I can do now is pray that Hailey is found and soon.

WOO, this is exactly where I am with this case. Usually I have a moment when I just know (sometimes wrong but mostly right). That hasn't happened this time.
