Wtf did he do to nathan? Drip marks makes it seem like he wasn't hit. No saturation or spatter. But he was dripping blood in the bed. Did he cut him? 😭

It's all so over the top violent and vicious - at times you almost lose your grip on reality and think it's like a horror movie. But imagine the terror, the fear, the pain...having this monster burst into your bedroom while you sleep and just attack violently...I can't comprehend what these poor people went through.

DG is the embodiment of pure evil. And he smugly sits there, pleading not guilty and taking his stupid ****ing notes. He needs to suffer.

He will. Even if by some insane mechanism he got off in court (which will never happen) - he would still absolutely pay for this crime. Perhaps in worse ways.

I agree. it takes my breath away when I think about it for too long. It's like a horror movie but it's real. I can't even comprehend how terrifying that would be. and to be the family and know that your family members last moments were so horrifying. As a mother you would be broken knowing that at the worst moment of your son's life you weren't there.

My fear is that this little troll will be perfectly content in his little prison room with his TV and books and memories of his brutality, all the while being 100% protected from harm himself. Smugly sitting there, getting his 3 squares a day, thinking, "yeah - totally worth it". I am seething.

I don't know how JO even gets up in the morning. I see her in the building sometimes and she has this glow - a real warmth to her. What strength it would take. I remember during the press conferences, Rod seemed much more emotional than Jennifer. I can't believe her strength. I'm sure it's being tested to its full capacity right now.

Please let the O'Briens not be in court today.

Ugh what did that monster do to little nathan??? What besides a cut would drip and not cause spatter?

It is difficult for me to fathom how this person, who seems diminutive in the photos (imo), was able to get AL into the back of his truck bed.

It could also be adrenalin - that can make you pretty strong!

 

[JadeSLeuth]

IMO , GRAPHIC and DISTURBING:

We have both KL and AL being close to the ground when impact happened. I feel sure he injected them with something, they stumbled and went down then the sick coward attacked. I think he slit N's throat. I'm so very very sorry.

 

[dogmatica]

The frenzied violence of it all - the amount of energy and aggression - I wonder if DG was on meth when he did this??

Was just going to say the same thing. Ugh

YES it fits. I wonder if thats why he walked back to the truck. First, check that all is "a go" then go back to the truck for a hit?
