Damian, Jesse, and Jason are free. I spent a good part of the 19th in shock and then some of the rest of that day oscillating between joy and tears. I can't begin to imagine how these three men felt or their friends and families.
I look forward to seeing happy pictures of these men if any crop up. I could understand if they all decided to go "underground" and stay out of the public eye, but I hope not.
Justice has not been served here in full. I am certain that goes with out saying and I find it reprehensible that the state of Arkansas has not launched into this cold case to find out what really happened and locate the guilty party. For 18 years this person(s) have been running around possibly victimizing other children. As a parent I cannot begin to understand the feelings of the parents of those three young boys. I hope that as we celebrate the freedom of the innocent men, that we remember that there is another branch of the innocent that is left unattended to and that we turn our magics and attentions there.
One down, one to go.

I totally agree. I can not fathom what the so called justice system was thinking they were doing when all this went down. How they could go home to their families, their children like everything was ok. I only recently started following this story, yet I ache as if I was there from the beginning. I do hope the true criminal(s) is found before they do more harm.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what this is about...i think i missed something somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHey Tamara here's a general run down of this issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three
ReplyDeleteThis is an event I think every pagan parent and child should know about. Basically these men ( who were teens at the time) were convicted because they were different and the town instead of trying to find the real killer, they put witchcraft on trial.
Personally I take it as a message from dominionists: this is what we will do to you and your kind.
