Pierce County Sheriff buys plots to prevent Josh Powell from being buried near slain boys

snipped

Troyer and Sheriff Paul Pastor used their own money and funds from Crime Stoppers Tacoma-Pierce County to buy plots two and four. The boys are buried together in number three.

Great guys to do this. Woot! The bad part is look at the picture, it looks like a whole new section.

BBM. Bless them. These men are heroes to act so quickly.

Yes, that's what decent-minded people would do. If my brother did something like this, I would quietly have him cremated and either keep the ashes inside my own house or toss them somewhere he liked to be. But I would do it all quietly because I would be ashamed of what he did.

But this family appears so disordered by the generations of parental alienation and outright hatred, decency is non-existent for them. They can do whatever they want and everyone else is wrong and the enemy. It's quite frightening. It seems only Jennifer got out of that mess. God bless her. She must be made of some tough, golden stuff.

Every few days it is something new with this nightmare. First the murders, then the news of the chopping injuries, then the child *advertiser censored*, now this insane request. And I don't have a good enough memory to list all the other outrageous things that happened between the day Josh murdered Susan and the day he murdered her sons.

He isn't a martyr, he's a sick murderer and he shouldn't even go to potter's field.

It's even worse. First it was the murder of Susan. Second, it was the coward refusing to allow the Coxes to see her surviving children. Third, his refusal to allow them to have any of her belongings. Fourth was his and his father's taunting of the Coxes with Susan's belongings by, instead of returning them to the Coxes, threatening to publicize her silly teenage journals. Fifth was accusing them of abusing Susan as a child. Sixth was the coward and his father attempting, with disgusting little smirks, to destroy Susan's reputation, by claiming she wanted a sexual relationship with her mentally ill, stalker father-in-law, and claiming she was a sexually suggestive person who ran off with some other guy. Then came the seventh new nightmare, murdering Susan's little sons. And finally, the eighth fresh hell is the coward, through his surviving family, demanding to be buried next to Susan's children, the same babies he brutally destroyed with an axe and fire.

This family is so outside the bounds of normal decency they do not appear human, at all.

I would like to see JP dropped in the ocean. No stone to mark a grave, I don't want anyone to say his name again. At least with a burial at sea his death will have had some meaning - he'll be fish food which is more than he amounted to in life.

I will never say his name again. Once he killed Charlie and Braden, I refused to use his name. He's "the coward" to me now and always will be.

Fair enough guys. I understand your point of view. I never even considered the trauma of the Cox's viewing Josh's name on his stone.

I would love the hate to end. There is so much tragedy here already.

I hear ya', but the hate came from one end. This is not a case of two families warring. This is a case of a lovely, dignified and patient family being murdered and tormented by one man, and his father, while most of his siblings supported that conduct. The Coxes NEVER expressed hatred toward the coward. The expressed bewilderment, anguish, fear, desperation. Never hate.

That came from one direction. But I'm sending it right back to his dead corpse and the corpse's pseudo-human father. I hate the coward and his father for what they did to the Coxes - destroying Susan and then her boys and torturing the Coxes with new evil every chance they got. Torturing two, sad, scared parents who just wanted to know what happened to their baby and to see her lovely children again and hug them and make sure they were okay. Yeah, I hate him and that hate does not end because he offed himself after "surprising" Susan's children by axing them to death and letting them burn in an inferno he created.

And I hate the actions of some of the coward's surviving family. Much like their brother, they are showing no humanity, no compassion to a family who have lost almost everything because of the actions of their beloved monster.

Hate doesn't end just because the demon who created it is in hell. What he has done will have ramifications that last several lifetimes.

I sure hope so. I'm be more than willing to make a donation.

To the poster who suggest the Coxes move the boys elsewhere, I'd be more than willing to donate to that as well.

I know that WS is victim-friendly, but jeez this family is making it really hard.

I don't really see the Powells as victims. I see them as enablers and accomplices after the fact.

I understand that everyone is very upset. I really do. I'm upset as well. However, we need to stop the comments about what to do with JP's remains.

:tyou:

thanks for deleting my post. I was going back to do the same. Not a very nice thing for me to say.

Okay Guys - A reminder here. This post lands at random.

We don't call names. I understand everyone is upset. I'm pretty upset myself. But we don't post the uglyness. If necessary - we write out the post and then erase it, before hitting submit.

Crimestoppers stepped in here and have taken the high road. Let's follow their lead. They didn't bash and trash, they just did what they could and it was A LOT.

WS does consider the extended Powell family to be victims. And while some of their actions are questionable - we are not going to trash and bash them. Try to keep in mind that they are probably reeling also and while that may not be an excuse for their behavior, it does make them victims of JP's actions.

So, when talking about the extended Powell family, remember we attack the behavior, not the person committing the behavior - just like we attack the post and not the poster.

If you have concerns, please feel free to pm any mod and we will give you a hand.

Thanks,

Salem

The extended Powell family's behavior is reprehensible.

IMO

What does it matter where the bodies are buried? The souls are no longer within the bodies and in Eternity are in 2 entirely separate places anyways..

It doesn't matter to the dead at all. It matters to the living. That's what cemeteries are for. For the living to come and feel peace and quiet and think about the love they feel for the departed. Josh's family is trying to destroy the Coxes' ability to feel that peace. It is not fair and should be stopped.

IDK, Thinker Belle...it just seems to matter a lot for many...

I do agree with you completely and now that I really look at it, it is pretty repulsive. It is not fair that those who would like to mourn those little angels should have to also look at the grave of the one who murdered them. His remains should be put elsewhere for the sake of the Cox family, IMO.

 

[Thinker Belle]

I guess I am just thinking that it doesn't matter in the sense, that it those little boys will not hurt from it. But I do agree it is a slap in the face to those left behind.

God Bless Crimestoppers. What a wonderful thing to do. I bet they end up using those burial plots for someone more worthy and in need of a place to rest forever.

What a selfless act to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.

That's very true. But the living have to live with what happened and grieve the remains of their family. Should they have to walk by the grave of the person they believed destroyed their family, in order to visit the graves of the ones they lost? When they go to the graves of the boys, should they have to watch people grieve for the killer?

 

[Aedrys]

I knew it. I knew there was going to be controversy with the burials. I thought it would be with the boys at first, but what do you know, it's with Josh. He wanted control from beyond the grave, and I bet he knew some of his family would try to make it happen for him. I am so disgusted with some of the Powells. They are even worse than the Anthonys. Unbelievable that they can't leave well enough alone after what Josh did! Sorry, Josh. You don't get those boys in death, and you sure as heck don't get lay beside them for eternity. You gave up that right when you killed them! I am eternally grateful to Crimestoppers for buying those plots! God Bless them for that! Hopefully someday, the right person will be laid to rest next to them, Susan!
