DM, as diabolical as he is, did not operate his crimes in a vacuum, and far from it, IMO. DM had along the way so much positive reinforcement from others in his midst, IMO, if only by their careless silence, which was enough to validate him and spur him on until his crimes progressed to include the ultimate crime of murder, IMO, complete with the chilling conclusion of having incinerated his innocent victims body, IMO. DM's devoted criminal menagerie could have at least challenged DM at some point to yank hard on his reins that he had so cunningly attached to them, IMO.
Did the fact that so few if any resisted or rejected DMs criminal overtures and scandalous schemes communicate the message to DM that he was in fact invincible, just as his companions then thought themselves to be indestructible in his company and by association with him? Did they unwittingly embolden and bolster DM by their endorsement of his villainous impulses and ideas or by their participation until DM was convinced that nothing he proposed, or in fact would do, or ask of them, no matter how risky or shocking, would ever meet with anyones genuine disapproval and failure to comply? Did anyone ever refuse to play an extra to DMs starring role in his immoral game of life and death?
It seems that many people in the shadow of DMs power only indulged his craving for dire drama and terrible thrills without any thought for the victims of his and their crimes, IMO. Would they have been so blind and oblivious to the dangers involved that they could not see where DMs twisted mind was leading, and leading them haplessly along with him, until they too became his victims? Did none among them ever consider what the limits of DMs reign might be, where it would all lead or end? Did they ever entertain or anticipate the possibility that if left unchecked, DMs criminal tendencies might escalate out of control to the point of no return?
Did no one catch on that perhaps this millionaire DM was a fraud and a felon with only his own depraved need for perilous adventure in mind despite the risks to which he was exposed and would expose them to, and despite that they too would have had to become frauds and felons as well to appease him and remain in his good graces? Was their enabling of his fantasies, and their assistance to him in carrying them out, earnest acceptance of DMs behaviour and theirs?
At the very least, if more among them could have summoned up the courage to confront DM, they could have walked away from him when they were still under their own physical power and able to do so, unlike that of his alleged victims TB, WM and LB, who never, I suspect, had that choice, IMO.
DM was a predator who grew increasingly bold and unbridled until his vile thirst for excitement and power could no longer be contained, IMO. I do wonder if others had not so willingly indulged with DM in his dark fantasies and miscellaneous missions, or had at least tried to suggest or impose some limits, if DM would have been able to escalate to murder on his own, IMO.
Even after LB was murdered, and then when DMs dad committed suicide, and later when DM was charged with his murder, the loyalty to DM and his packs mentality continued unchallenged until their appearances in court, and even then, I could detect some remnants of loyalty toward DM, IMO. And now after getting a glimpse of the conversations that were taking place around or after these tragic events, DM did not seem to suffer from the rejection of his inner circle, his chosen few, IMO, and that is most unfortunate for everyone involved, IMO. Who knows if just one among them had the courage to shine a light of suspicion upon DM, if things today might have been different? As I have said all along, DM never acted alone, IMO, and he had plenty of time tested and trustworthy friends and acquaintances in his midst who seemed to have come under some kind of spell, but there was nothing magical about it, IMO. It truly does take a village, IMO.
I can only conclude that DMs missionaries lost any and all common sense, and with it their sense of direction, and therefore by following DM, they too lost their way, IMO. I hope that those who survived DMs influence will discover a new and brighter path to follow in future, and I hope that they will never again be so enthralled by the lure of crime and corrupt criminals for a promise of meaningless excitement, quick cash, or street status. DM was not heaven sent and I hope no one ever dares to forget it.
All MOO.
