Ive been going back and forth here, Ive noticed everyone has kinda dropped off the topic that JO could be somewhat of a suspect. Ive taken everyone of this kids poems printed them broken them down. It disturbs me, from what it looks like his poems talk about what he did, and why he did it all the way down to he was a racist kid, who wanted revenge cause she was dating a hispanic man. He even states in a poem Jokes on him... Its discusting. Ive been obsessed with this since i found this website, that kids poems. I want this kid caught and i want everyone to feel safe walking the streets again.
do you have any evidence that he knew Mackenzie?
that he was her boyfriend? that he threatened her? that they fought? anything at all?
I just find it incredible that people would want to think a kid is a murderer or even the fact that people think he is 'disturbed' because of some poems
is there more to this that only locals know of? there must be right? does his family have a bad reputation around town? are there other murderers in his family? does he have a criminal record? has he been a suspect in other crimes???
there's got to be more! or else we might as well just start arresting poets and writers everywhere based on the creepiness factor ... geez, stephen king would be in prison for life ... how 'bout edgar allan poe ... there's too many to even think of ... including me!
the poem about a guy named bob - it says right in there near the end that bob's story is an allegory
an allegory is basically a metaphor, commonly used in writing - symbolism that represents something else
this does not mean that this kid or any other person who writes dark stuff could not
also be a criminal
but please, can we all look for other ties - any evidence, any crumb ... I'll take a crumb that ties him to this!
anything else, people I'm begging - otherwise I'm beginning to feel like I'm in the dark ages or Iran 2008 or geez, even America during the McCarthy era
I'm not trying to be rude to you phenox01 or anyone else ... we just really need to consider how quickly we will condemn someone and the reasons for that condemnation
and if we have a suspect in mind, we absolutely need to sleuth him - which means looking at more than just one area of his life
that's my rant for the week - sorry so long!
