HA! AND there it is! <blows on her fingernails> Told ya.
I am very very upset as well as outraged about this! Mr. Abeyta is speaking honest truth here and does no one care to see the truth for what it really is??!? Or is everyone just like NG and only want to hear what will further fuel the hatred and disgust at the parents!?! Mr. Abeytas meeting with the parents was even twisted into a negative in the media and public..
IMO it's quite likely still that these parents are not guilty of harming their child!! I totally agree with Nancy A's post upthread and she could not be more spot on with her words.. I honestly believe it has become about hating the parents and no one can even see the forest for the trees at this point.. It's so overrun with vehement hatred and anger.. And where exactly does that get us, or more importantly where does that help baby Lisa? IMO it doesn't.. Hating them isn't going to help anything.. Some may say it doesn't matter but I disagree and I do believe that we, even here at WS do play a role in the public and media and that we are a chunk of that public pressure that's being spoken of.. The negative hatred and even bashing of parents that are not in any way, shape or form proven to be guilty of harming their baby.. I don't see it being of any help toward finding Lisa and cannot help but put myself in these parents shoes that my being innocent and terrified and having the lynch mob mentality right outside my doorstep.. Terrified and having put my trust in someone I believed would help me find my baby.. I know that I personally wouldn't stand for what's happening, but then again I'm not in their shoes and am only on the outside looking in.. And these ppl are not me and may not have the same strengths to draw upon or the same support system in place that I do.. Mr. Abeyta is attempting to get the real truth of what's going on out there to the media and people like NG cut his mic because it's not what's gonna get her the ratings of over exaggerating, blowing out of proportion, and harping on the negatives bashing these parents over the head.. That's what the public wants and Mr. Abeyta doesn't give a flying flip about that BS he's attempting to get the truth out there..
I'm appalled and disgusted with this exact attitude that NG is encouraging.. And it doesn't do a damn bit of good for Lisa whatsoever!!!
Agreed.
And were *I* in a situation where my daughter had been kidnapped, I know for a fact that my security would be so shaken that it would be a VERY short leap to fearing that anyone could be out to harm my other children, my family or myself. Yes, even a woman who shows up at my door at 9:30PM unannounced whom I've never met.
It's not unheard of that folks in the Irwin's position are threatened, harassed, or even harmed by people.
Isn't it funny that people can readily believe that a parent would take their own child's life, but don't as easily believe someone would do harm to that parent.
I guess my point is, violence cuts both ways. If we acknowledge that parents could harm their child, we have to also acknowledge that some misfit may try to harm a parent suspected of harming their child. In the wake of Casey Anthony, I heard numerous people say they'd like to do this or do that harmful thing to her -- this is a woman - rightly or wrongly - who was just acquitted by a jury of her peers. Our legal system says she's innocent. As wrong as we may know that decision to have been, it doesn't change the fact that there are still some loons out there who want to hurt her. A punishment that is not ours to mete out.
LE understands this fact, it's why they put bulletproof vests on suspects and surround them with armed police escorts. So why don't we acknowledge it.
Protecting one's family takes on ALL forms. I'm going to say it again so everyone is clear:
PROTECTING ONES FAMILY TAKES ON ALL FORMS.
If my daughter had been kidnapped, you can bet I wouldn't let my other daughter, wife etc. out of my site. My wife would feel the same way to the 10th power.
This family leaving this place where their sanctuary has been violated, where press have photographed their boys, where unknown people - no matter how well intentioned - have just shown up unannounced; it is so understandable and necessary that's I'm frankly miffed by the righteous indignation people are spouting about it.
Mr Abeyta, a man who has LIVED this tragedy, gets it. Too bad so many who never have do not.
Those were Young's words, and they mesh with what the family's spokespeople say. So, keep reminding people!
