I don't think anything you say impacts anyone, Roy.William, if the point of view I'm expressing has a negative impact on the sales of the book you mentioned you are writing in the Who's Who, I will give you my profoundest apologies.
reb said:like i said.. it's a bit hard for me to believe in that large-scale child sex rings are operating here in america until we see one get busted-- or see one, just ONE former escaped victim come forward with proof of what he/she went though. and that would be BIG news,, no? it's kinda like UFOs... many people say they exist, but where are they, really?
In court it usually takes actual evidence of perjury to get convicted for it, hence the subject line I chose for this post, "conviction requires proof of wrongdoing". So the fact that people came forward with lies,false stories, and got caught with enough proof of wrongdoing on their part to get convicted does not indicate to me that there is some conspiracy to cover up the truth.William R Thomas said:What is it you would like for proof. Some have come forward. AND been put in jail for perjury.
To make it simple, yes.. I was in such a position where I had to choose to risk my life or to tell the law what i knew, and a bounty was placed on my head for it, I guess that is why I have that view. For me coming forward may of helped another person from being hurt. But thats in the past.Floh said:Firstly, what are 'side' bangs?
and as to this:
loganone said: "I'm sorry, I don't buy "my life is in to much danger" to come forward - I believe it is called obstruction of justice to have information and to knownly hold it back from law enforcement."
boo hoo - as if anyone in a position of feeling their life were in danger would give a flying **** about 'obstruction of justice'! seriously: can it possibly be imagined such a thought would cross such a mind? :banghead:

My statement above may not of come across the way I wanted it. I would hope anyone with information would come forward and maybe that information would stop other children from being placed in the same situation.
reb said:just longish bangs that are parted to the side. check out their photos, they just all have a similar look. of course it could be just coincidence.. after all it was kind of a popular common style for boys in the 70's-80's.
I did talk to the LE... don't despairFloh said:So you chose not to talk to L.E.? why on earth would you so strenuously state: "I believe it is called obstruction of justice to have information and to knownly hold it back from law enforcement."? when you did not talk to L.E.?
i despair.

I was merely expressing my opinion.
HeartofTexas said:In my lifetime I've read about many varying kinds of threats on people's lives. Sometimes it's a former spouse who threatens to kill us, sometimes it's a perp, sometimes it's a molester who threatens a child with wiping out their entire family if they "tell". But sometimes I've read about cases where LE, or even worse, government officials, have threatened people's lives. I have no way of knowing if the latter threats are real, but they would certainly give me a reason to pause before going to any kind of authority figure with my concerns. After all, if LE is threatening you, it's hard to feel safe going to LE with your concerns. There was a case a few years back of a woman married to (I believe) the Seattle Chief of Police. She tried to talk to some of the officers about his constant threats to her, but nobody believed her and the SPD sided with the husband. He finally killed her. Obviously, this doesn't quite fall under the category I just described about LE and/or gov't officials, but it's still a keen reminder that sometimes the very agencies in place to help us end up doing nothing or, in a worst case scenario, thwarting justice.
So what I guess I'm saying is that I think there are different levels of threats on our lives that we have to take into consideration when deciding whether or not to go to LE with our concerns. It's more than a little difficult to hide from some agencies since they are privy to every kind of background and address information on all of us.
It would really depend on how much of a risk you are willing to take. Case in point. Noreen Gosch posted on her website that she has recieved a "death threat" (I only put that in quotes because it is in quotes on her website) I think she was very smart to say this, becuase if something were to happen to her, it is on public record that she was threaten. As a side note, it also states that they now know who the boys are in the photo. Has that information been released anywhere?William R Thomas said:For YEARS I have studied motorcycle gangs. The Hell's Angels, one of the most well known, highly organized, and well funded gangs in the world, have for years been known to go to people who have threatened them in some way or another, say it's your husband or wife, and they will corner them, and just take an ID, and tell that person, "we know where you live, and we know who you are. If you shut the *advertiser censored** up, you will be fine. Keep talking, and first your children will dissapear, and then your husband, and then you". NOW, you KNOW this is a well organzied ring with a penchant for putting their money where their mouth is, so to speak. Do you run and talk to LE, even though your life is in danger. hell no.
