I am just going to be completely honest and speak my very honest opinion, feeling, and where I'm very extremely surprised to find myself today.. I am hoping that my getting this off my chest somehow allows me to move on from this extremely uncomfortable frame of mind that I have found myself to be..
I'm perfectly aware that some, many, or even all may not at all agree with me, nor feel similar and I'm prefacing that I fully understand that, respect that, and have no wish or desire to have anyone at all agree with me.. To keep on the path of being completely honest, here, this post is probably in large part for completely selfish motives in my just attempting to somehow purge myself of this overall unpleasant frame of mind and feeling that I presently have.
I am very disappointed just like the majority of us are and the majority of that sadness, disappointment, and even sorrow is my hurt for Travis' siblings and just what a tremendous blow that this non-verdict was to them.. My heart is literally aching, very literally hurting for these precious individuals, with Steven being who I am most worried and concerned about as to just what effects that this will have on him.. While I fully believe they all 7 are deeply hurting and pained by this tremendous blow and let down of just being left in the hell of limbo..just floating with no real end or finality anywhere in sight..but it is Steven who I have the most concern and worry about..The bright light that seemed to be so damn close marking their very much nearing the end of the long, dark tunnel and so very badly needing the end to come so that they can have closure.. close their lives to Jodi Arias permanently, and actually begin the healing process that they have been literally kept in the holding pattern of for 5 very, long years.. Their being able to put an "end" to this horrific chapter of their lives and to move forward in a positive direction far, far, and in the opposite direction of all things Jodi Arias..
That so close to the end of the dark tunnel that they could literally "feel it" drawing near in these last few days leading up to the day of the non-verdict..that great hope of this all drawing to a close was so cruelly stripped of them just within those few overpowering moments wherein the Courts non-verdict was read..well, it is just beyond painful and anguishing for what they have been forced to endure throughout and then to have this shocking and tremendous, unexpected blow right here as they were nearing what they very much believed was finally to be the end..well, its just literally gut wrenching even for me, a perfect stranger merely on the outside looking in, with literally no tie or connection in anyway to this family..and yet the pain for which they have now found themselves to be once again firmly within the clutches of ..the no end in sight..and learning that not only is the end NOT NEAR, but the shocking realization that they must literally endure much of the horrific and relentless pain, sorrow, and continued anxiety and worry about their beloved brother's justice and would that justice ever be served on his behalf..
IMO IT TRULY IS EARTH SHATTERING WHAT THEY WERE VERY LITERALLY DRIVEN HEAD ON, AT TOP SPEED STRAIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL OF THIS NON-VERDICT REALITY HAPPENING..MY HEART IS HURTING VERY BADLY FOR THIS FAMILY AND IT IS FOR THEIR PAIN, SORROW, TORTURE, AND LIVING HELL THAT ABOVE ALL ELSE IS TROUBLING TO ME THE VERY MOST.. COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT I AM EXTREMELY LIMITED IN WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO, TO OFFER, TO IN ANY WAY HELP OR EASE IN EVEN THE MOST SMALLEST OF WAYS THIS FAMILY'S HEARTACHE, STRUGGLE, AND CONTINUINING PAIN...I HAVE IMMEDIATELY DONATED MORE MONEY TO HELP EASE ATLEAST THE HARDSHIP FINANCIALLY SPEAKING WRT THEIR FINDING THEMSELVES IN THE NIGHTMARE OF JUSTICE NOT YET SERVED ON BEHALF OF THEIR BROTHER.. ITS THE ABSOLUTE VERY LEAST THAT I CAN DO TO SOMEHOW HELP THIS FAMILY FOR WHOM I AM HURTING SO BADLY FOR AT THE PRESENT TIME IN WHAT HAS BEEN FURTHER HEAPED UPON THEM. I CERTAINLY SO WISH THERE WAS MORE THAT I COULD DO, OFFER, OR IN ANY WAY HELP THESE PRECIOUS SIBLINGS IN THIS THEIR GREATEST TIME OF NEED.
While my greatest heart break is this precious family's continued pain, I also have come to a crossroads, so to speak, regarding my very real faith and belief in our country's justice system..yes, with Caylee's being stripped of justice for her horrific end to her sweet, little, young and innocent life I was indeed very disappointed and disgusted, but never did I truly believe that it was indicative of our justice system actually being "broken" or no longer properly working the way in which it was created and intended to do.. I truly felt as tho, Caylee's Injustice was not at all the rule, but rather it was the very, very rare exception to the rule that we all know realistically has always and will always exist..
I no longer have that mindset.. In fact I have very much the opposite mindset in truly believing our system is absolutely "broken", faulty, and downright is no longer working properly the way in which our founding fathers created and intended it to be.. There is something very, very wrong and I want to preface it by saying that the tired repeating of our system works well and that it is better yet for the guilty to go free than for the innocent to be wrongly convicted and sentenced.. IMO that's bull$hit, plain and simple and quite frankly I've become extremely offended by this used up, repeated cliche regarding the guilty that slither through the cracks.. Its grossly offensive in that these guilty individuals are literally afforded such extreme rights, and literal tip toeing around on eggshells for strait up, soulless, evil individuals "rights"..ensuring to go overboard in bending backward 10times over in letting them literally twist and turn the justice system to such extremes that they are literally giving the legalities all new meaning.. Meaning that is so far removed from what and how our justice system was created to work in ensuring that the guilty are held fully accountable for the crimes they've committed against their innocent victims..and ensuring those innocent victims are not revictimized, further harmed and violated.. That the innocent victims are protected from their perpetrators rather than raped, abused, and slaughtered all over again by the perpetrators.. I now have come to know that the way in which our system of justice was intricately and wonderfully designed to protect those who need, deserve, and require protection from those exact individuals that the system is designed to ensure are fully held responsible, fully accountable, and there for adequately and appropriately punished with penalties and consequences for their crimes.. I now have come to know often times the system is delivering the complete opposite of the intent that it was designed to deliver.
I have come to the brutal realization that the defendants and their counsel have truly transformed the system of "justice" into an unrecognizable system of injustice wrangled through loopholes, continued manipulations, and distortions of what is truth and fact to a system that not only protects the most abhorrent of human beings that roam this earth alongside of us, but very literally rewards the evil.. fully allows through use of the "justice" system to once again horrifically violate, rape, steal, take from, and literally slaughter their victims all over again in the process that was created and intended to hold accountability and ensure severe consequences to those who perpetrate the crimes against the innocent victims..
Over time the continued manipulations and distortions on the part of many defendants and their criminal defense attorneys have broken down the entire core design and intended purpose of our justice system..it has been twisted and turned to work in a counteractive and counter product way in which it is repeatedly working on the behalf of the individuals who are actually responsible for perpetrating the crimes..therefor literally working against the innocent victim for which the system was designed to protect and ensure justice is served on behalf of the crimes committed against them.. The victim becomes the one whose rights are so restricted to an extreme in certain circumstances, with the perpetrator's rights being given an overabundance of protection and even quite literally to the degree of allowing the perp's rights to be so protected and tip toed around that the entire process of our system is defeated with there being no consistency whatsoever in seeing the system serve and ensure justice on behalf of the victims wronged by the righteously protected perpetrators..
I am very personally offended at what very real twisted manipulation has taken place over the course of these last decades in which our system is quite literally flipped in a good amount of cases. The perpetrators of violent crimes who again and again having glaring indicators of they're going to continue to violate, abuse, and even kill innocent victims..yet again and again those exact perpetrators rights are what is of the utmost of importance and again and again they are protected to such a degree that justice is prevented and very literally rape, murder, and other horrendous violent abuses find their way into the lives of more and more innocent victims due to our system NOT WORKING..NOT DOING THE JOB FOR WHICH IT WAS CREATED AND INTENDED TO DO.. INSTEAD WORKING FOR THE VIOLENT OFFENDERS WHO ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON IN REAPING HORRIFIC CRIMES UPON MORE OF THE INNOCENT..
I AM SICK. I AM VERY LITERALLY JUST SICK OVER WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE SYSTEM AND HOW IT HAS BEEN SEVERELY MANIPULATED AND DISTORTED TO A DEGREE THAT IMO IS VERY LITERALLY NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE WORLD IN WHICH WE AND OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN ARE LIVING IN!
<< end of my self serving rant! >>
In going back to this case specifically My heart is truly aching for the Alexander family and the way in which I feel they were literally blindsided at top speed when smacked head on with this NON-VERDICT.. My continued prayers for them now more than ever along with doing what miniscule amount of help/assistance that I can offer in contributing financially to help offset at the very least their continued financial burden from the rendering of NO VERDICT WRT their brother's murderer.
I am fully supportive of whatever path the family chooses to take, be it their desire to dig in their heels, trudging forward with a second seated jury in hopes of Jodi receiving a DEATH PENALTY verdict for her crimes against their beloved brother..or whether they choose to take a different path of less resistance in their needing to bring finality and closure to justice being served for Travis. I am with them 100+% in whichever path they choose and will be of any help and assistance that I can in their seeing this all the way through to the very bittersweet end for their brother, Travis.. I TRULY HOPE that they understand that No matter what some people may strongly opine in their own minds(ie.the jury foreman) about Travis and their belief of the blasphemous bull$hit from the slandering murderer's mouth that this innocent, much too kind hearted for his own good, victim was somehow bearing of responsibility in his vicious murder due to his being abusive toward this heinous, migrating wildebeest that brutally slaughtered him.. Nonetheless I have hope that Travis' 7 siblings know and understand that by far and wide the vast majority of us are fully recognizing of the TRUTH..and that TRUTH is that Travis is the innocent victim here, period!.. and regardless of what the slandering ***** spews from her hideous mouth TRAVIS IS THE ONLY VICTIM THERE IS IN THIS CASE, PERIOD!
TRAVIS ALEXANDER = THE ONLY VICTIM IN THIS PREMEDITATED MURDER CASE!
JODI ARIAS = THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL GUILTY OF THE PREMEDITATED MURDER!
May God see fit to bring about the much needed Justice for the ONLY VICTIM there is in this case, Travis!
