LOTS of people have pitbulls and large breed dogs- it doesn't mean they're into dog fighting. IMO dogfighting does not fit into the jolly good guy personae he created/put out there for himself.

Agreed and there are so many different types of intelligence- just because someone might not be good at say, standardized tests or regurgitating info at school, doesn't mean they're not intelligent or even a genius in other ways.

I get that people want to see the best in other people, I just find it astounding that anyone would *repeatedly* joke about rape and violence against women. Never in my life have I been around people that thought that was acceptable, let alone funny.

So true. If people "joked" like that around me I'd be tempted to call the police on THEM. Never in my life have I heard people joke like that; it really makes you wonder what *they* were up to.

Wow. I think it's safe to say JM wasn't paying those rates. ;0)

I'm not blaming his grandmother in anyway, but her comment coupled some other comments create IMO a really weird, almost "Twin Peaks" sort of picture. And i don't mean that as in a literal plot way, but in the overall interesting, somewhat unusual group of people way. I went to a very football...

I was largely raised by my grandmother, so I don't always see them as fitting into a sort of milk-and-cookies role that a lot of people do. Of course everyone is different, so that makes for a lot of different grandmothers out there. ;0) I know my grandmother would have bypassed trying to...

I will be forever weirded out by the way his grandmother allegedly said he was a good boy because he liked to eat his greens- and even asked for seconds. I mean, Huh what??!?!?!!! Some of the alleged sources in this case have painted a really bizarre picture. . . .

I've thought about this too, and I wonder that *if* there are current friends and they've talked- if LE has requested that they not speak to the press?

Even if they're not allowed to do something, I'd imagine in an era pre-GPS it was easy enough to do within limits. Granted this was in a foreign country (Barbados), but anyways, I had a cab driver in the middle of the night pull off to an out of the way gas station and come back and throw...

I was just about to say-- there has been a lot of safety concerns with Uber and Lyft etc drivers lately, not just due to occasionally lax background checks, but because sometimes drivers will let their friends work for them using their car and their account. My husband and I have experienced...

What's so disturbing- and something I've never even thought of- is that you can apparently take a cab out of commission and no one ever follows up on it or regulates it? I mean, it sounds like the cab was still found as still a cab-- not just a cab painted over. (of course that could just be...

Yes- driving a cab isn't as easy or as "easy money" as people often think. Ages ago when I lived in NYC the taxi badge/medallion (essentially a license) cost was $250,000-- I wouldn't be surprised if it has at least doubled by now. Obviously NYC is more expensive, but there's often a lot of...

The language in the various articles suggest that it was not say,traced to a new owner. Of course, there has been a good deal of incorrect or twisted and melodramatic reporting. . . so ???? ETA- sorry- I was replying to multiple posts on this topic, not just this one. This one is just the...

Him disappearing like that is creepy, but so is the fact that these people around him kept joking about that. Who does that? Certainly not anyone I'd hang out with.

I'd like to add-- I wonder if some of the people that thought it was funny to joke about him being a rapist attempted murderer are also some of the people that told the press he was a "gentle giant". If so, that speaks volumes.

That's one of those things that looks creepy in retrospect- clearly no one thought it was very concerning at the time. I've never killed anyone obviously, but if my friends kept repeatedly joking that I looked like a rapist serial killer, I'd getting pretty flipping p*ssed too. Actually if...

There are other sources of income in ALL communities. Legal, legal-ish, and otherwise.

There are just so many possibilities with this whole cab situation. . . . It could be nothing or it could be huge. We may never find out until the trial. Which I mean, I'm okay with- I think it's best that LE does everything possible to make sure they get the right person, the best...

I've never known the guy or the area either for that matter, I just want to clarify that by "farm work" I'm not really talking about say, driving a tractor or hoeing a field. There's a lot of stuff that you might tell your friend that their kid or grandkid or whatever could make some extra...
