Because the smearing of feces on the wall was documented and the sizes-too-big PJs had feces in them. I say this with respect but I'm surprised you're pointing the finger at JB. From what we know about Burke he is the one most likely to exhibit symptoms of scatolia.
I'm not pointing the finger at anyone....I've been doing the exact opposite.
Both kids were living in dysfunction junction and clearly had some issues yet one of them is being blamed for it all as if a trail of bread crumbs leads directly to him. There were two children living in that house and since none of this was tested, that means there are two possibilities.
I have diagnosed BR with nothing. I'm simply going on the reports of several people in the Rs life. Who by the way did say he was smearing feces on bathroom walls. Your right it could have been JBRs fecal ball, but no one has said she played with hers. All reports were on BRs smearing. I dont think he was on the spectrum, I think he was a victim as a child. For what its worth, I do have experience with a child who was abused and having jealousy and abandonment issues. I see a lot of BR as a boy in my 6 year old son (adopted, mine none the less)
I have never stated one way or another what DI I am. For the record I'm RDI, all three of them have something to do with what happened that night and the hindrance of justice to this day.
On Phils show, my opinion of BR is based on what I saw and heard for myself. I have eyes and intuition that have served (ME) well over the years. I stay true to myself and not what some other unknown person thinks I should feel or believe. But hey, thats the great thing about these forums and the posters in them, diversity of opinion.
Nobody here knows if they are right or wrong until we have a confession or a conviction. Until then, its all personal opinion and like butt holes we all have one.
You don't have to specifically state one way or another. Anyone blaming Burke to the extent he is saving and sculpting poop and then throwing it like a monkey is clearly BDI. Amazing that an old feces smear on a wall and some in a pair of PJs can somehow create such an elaborate fantasy. While there's certainly nothing wrong with speculation as we all do it on this case, I'm in the now minority that likes to see the speculation grounded in something resembling reality.
All your posts are about discussing how "disturbed" Burke is so no need for any pretense about not diagnosing him. You've got him throwing his poop around the house like a monkey and joyfully laughing about her murder. Your descriptions and scenarios regarding Burke are speaking of someone who had a free fall descent into madness. LIke many others, I have read the books, watched the docs, etc. and I have never seen anyone involved in the case come anywhere near describing Burke to such a magnitude.
Yes....we all have buttholes.
I certainly agree with you on one thing....Burke was a victim.
Seems like its open season on BR.
Indeed.
IMO it does a huge disservice to the case. BDI is nothing new obviously. Long time members like you and otg(and others) have had this position for years and with loads of research and well thought out points, attempt to make a realistic case for it. What is new is him being morphed into this stark raving mad lunatic who flings poop, bludgeons over pineapple, and laughs maniacally about it. This train of thought did not exist before the CBS doc aired. If that's what people took from it, then it was even worse than I initially thought.
1. A pair of JonBenet's feces soiled pants were lying on her bathroom floor, origin unexplained.
2. The grapefruit size piece of feces was observed in JonBenet's bed.
3. AFAIK the larger sized pair of pants lying on JonBenet's bedroom floor did not contain feces, i.e. fact check this!
4. Feces were smeared on JonBenet's candy box.
5. BR smeared a bathroom wall with feces as a younger child.
6. Both BR and JonBenet had toileting issues relating to feces.
6. is likely the take away item, or generalization to be assumed.
.
Yeah and this goes back to both children having some major problems in this department and a lengthy history of it. Even though we have no way of knowing who was responsible for each of those incidents, it is all being thrown in Burke's direction.
how does Spitz think it all started down at the breakfast bar?
.
That's a very good question and one I'd like to see an answer to. That whole "the manure hit the fan in the breakfast bar" scenario has never had an adequate explanation.
