General Discussion and Theories #2

[Blomquist]

If you want to just split up a quote so that you can reply to each part separately, I just open the "quote" in another tab and then only copy the part I want to respond to. You can do that for each piece of the original quote that you're replying to. That way, if someone wants to reply to your comments, when they hit reply, it will still show your comments (without the original "quoted" comments. Maybe someone knows an easier way, but that's worked for me.

When you reply inside the quote, if someone replies to you, your comments disappear with the original quote.

Does that help?

Thanks AD I will try it.....

I am not sure how my comments get buried .... and apparently I have been told by mods that it was only the colour red that was a problem.... There is an area of a quoted post (even if it says 'purple' that will take you to the actual post..... HTH Maybe someone would be kind enough to explain how multi quote posting works to help myself and others out.... TIA

Blomquist-I never split my quotes, but I think all you do is make sure that QUOTE contained in square brackets is at the front of the post and /QUOTE in square brackets is at the tail end of the segment. If this works, that's how you do it!

I expect MB being British, and Brits being known for their stoic composure, is not so much bothered about the neighbours as the risk from the unknown insofar as being in harms way...JMO

Lets see if this works!

Yes, you have to make sure that QUOTE in the square brackets stays at the beginning and the end.

Correct Alethea, the opening is just QUOTE but the end uses /QUOTE put in the [] brackets! Happy quote splitting everyone!! You must make sure you have the backslash for the ending

Nope, I see it as she's afraid what people will think about her in relation to what her son is being accused of. Protecting her self image. The poor woman; just image being dragged into such a horrific position. Her name probably would have ever have entered the picture IF DM hadn't parked his trailer, with TB's truck inside in her driveway. Making it look like she may have been involved in TB's death. What a terrible thing to do; drag your innocent mother into the picture. I believe we will find this out through to be factual based on the neighbour of MB's. Sadly she wouldn't/couldn't even return home out of embarrassment and maybe for privacy reasons. I'm certain she would have been confronted by a neighbour or two, or more wanting to give her their condolences and possibly question her out of concern, but being as she's a very private woman, she didn't want to return to her home. Not only the neighbours, but reporters and public in general knocking on her door. No wonder she went into hiding. My heart goes out to MB. Must be awful considering your only child whom you believed was a prior good character, has all of a sudden turned out to be the possible devil himself. JMHO.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place when she had to deal with the signing over of DM's property. DM needed money to pay DP upfront and MB, his mother was more than likely the only person who would/could do that for him. Of course DP would see nothing unusual about it, he wants his money and this is the only way he could get it. And of course DM is not concerned about future lawsuits; he is now facing the worst suit possible. :floorlaugh: DM's day to day affairs, in DP's words, mean paying his defense. Again JMHO.

“The timing is beyond smelly. It doesn’t make sense to me,” said Andrew Fortis, real estate lawyer with Hummingbird Lawyers. “It raises a lot of red flags.”
Millard’s lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, dismissed the allegations.
“I don’t think there’s anything unusual about a family member taking over assets while you’re in jail,” he said in an interview. “I don’t believe there’s anything untoward.” Paradkar said arrangements were made to facilitate day-to-day affairs while Millard is in jail awaiting trial. He said Millard is “not concerned about lawsuits.”
On the day after his May 10 arrest, Millard, 27, hastily signed over power of attorney to his mother, Madeleine Burns, from the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre, public records obtained by the Star show.

Police have cleared Burns of any involvement in Bosma’s disappearance and murder.

“The family has been destroyed over this.”

<modsnip> Just as we allow that SB might read these posts, we should allow that MB might read these as well, and whether or not either one of them do, to me they are victims just as much as TB and should be treated with the same respect. To say that a mother was likely more concerned for her public image than for her only child is just cruel or thoughtless, and to add in laughing symbols only compounds what appears to me to be a major lack of sympathy to one of the victims of this tragedy. Do you speak for MB and her feelings, her motivations, her whereabouts and her neighbours? How can you be so certain?

I also find it far more believable that DM's mom does not want to be in the spotlight (for which I don't blame her) than the idea that she's been threatened by an unknown organization (but not scared enough not to hint at it in the press).

I don't blame her for not wanting to be under public scrutiny, mind you. I wouldn't either in this situation. But surely if others are allowed to suggest that she's in fear for her life (on zero evidence) we are allowed to suggest she's merely protecting her privacy.

We can believe whatever we choose to believe about MB. That is of course everyones right. Why would MB hint at anything in the press? I wouldn't want any part of my life twisted and trashed and speculated about in the press.... JMO Good for her keeping a low profile ! JMO

 

[MsSherlock]

I'm sorry Swedie, but I find this offensive. Just as we allow that SB might read these posts, we should allow that MB might read these as well, and whether or not either one of them do, to me they are victims just as much as TB and should be treated with the same respect. To say that a mother was likely more concerned for her public image than for her only child is just cruel or thoughtless, and to add in laughing symbols only compounds what appears to me to be a major lack of sympathy to one of the victims of this tragedy. Do you speak for MB and her feelings, her motivations, her whereabouts and her neighbours? How can you be so certain?

<modsnip> Unfortunately, lots of times when people become associated with a crime, they're failing to see how their actions will have an impact on their loved ones. Once the charges are laid, there's very little that the family of the accused can do but duck and hide. It's very sad and humiliating for everyone associated with the accused. However, IMO, he is the accused and in this case, DM is accused of taking TB's life. DM's family still has him alive, SB doesn't have that option. One is bad-the other much, much worse. MOO

JMHO, but comparing a persons incarceration and the affects it's having on their friends and family to the brutal murder of another individual and the deep grief that family is facing is like comparing apples and oranges.

IMO, DM's loved ones may feel embarrassment and a fear of invasion of privacy, but IMHO, that's DM's fault-he has been legally charged with 1st degree murder. In contrast, SB has been mentioned several times in concern to fundraisers, job, house etc by the same posters who find any mention of DM's family offensive. Concern that DM's mother may be reading these threads when those same posters make tongue and cheek comments about the community assisting SB anyway possible? IMO, that is beyond cruel. SB does read these threads. IMHO, there's a fundamental difference and things have to be put into perspective-TB was murdered. His wife is a widow, his daughter is now fatherless, his parents have buried their son. DM is simply in jail. Yes, its disruptive,concerning, embarrassing and expensive, but they can still visit him, touch his face and hear his voice. DM is still very much alive.

It's not my intention to beat a dead horse here, but IMHO, great respect should be paid to the privacy of the family of the deceased along with the innocent family members of the two accused. MOO

Blomquist, if you want to split a quoted post into separate parts, make sure each segment is pasted between quote tags. For instance, this is how your post appears as I type this reply. I've deliberately omitted the "e" at the end of "quote" and used a red font to illustrate.

[quot=;111] opens the quote, and the [/] tells the post editor where the quote ends. So if I want to reply to the two paragraphs individually, I would copy and paste the quote tags at the beginning and end of each paragraph, like this.

If I repeat the same process and add the "e" back in, I get this.

Also, you can reply to more than quote more than one post within the same post by using the "multi quote" function. In the bottom right corner of each post is an icon that looks like a quotation mark. Click on that icon in each post you want to quote. When you're done, click "post reply".

Example:

Thanks for all the posting tips guys.... I'm sure it helped more than just me..... so a big thank you to all

 

[Blomquist]

I am wondering....

Neighbours of MB in Kleinburg apparently said that MB was very private. The last name 'Burns' is not even remotely similar to 'Millard' ... so was there a msm report that explained how the neighbours knew MB was related to the Millard Family ?

Also if we assume that DM put the trailer at his mothers and that he was 'hiding' it there because he presumed no-one knew her or where she lived.... why would he do this under cover of darkness at 1am???? The way I see it 'someone' did not wish to be seen dropping off the trailer or was instructed to do this at night. DM was seen by his neighbours that evening prior to 1am working on his home with friends at Maple Gate Court..... so obviously not in any rush or panic to do anything JMO

The neighbours apparently recognized DM from the classic Mohawk photo (odd since he had it for a year or two ending in 2011 yet same neighbours claimed they hadn't seen him visit in the last ten years.
Perhaps neighbours claims are made in a gossipy neighbourly fashion, I don't know. I may have seen this on a MSM TV interview or I read it. Off to find the link...:findinglink:

Thanks Snoofo...thats what I had thought in regard to the neighbours knowing who DM was. It's very peculiar. Has been puzzling me...as has the delivery under cover of darkness..... jmo

IMO, DM wanted the trailer with the stolen truck out of the hangar ASAP. IMO it would have been pretty hard to 'chop up the truck' in the hangar when you don't know who might stop in (ie airport manager, AS - who knows?!). In regard to moving the trailer, obviously DM wouldn't have wanted to be caught red-handed with the truck in his possesion, thus he would do it after dark. Most likely he didn't expect the neighbours to pay much attention to it, and at first I don't believe they did. It was only after news broke of DM's arrest that they got together and decided they should make LE aware of the eyesore in MB's driveway. And IMO, maybe the working on the yard earliier that same evening was to try and establish an alibi, making sure the neighbours saw/heard him. JMHO

The truck was moved to his mother's prior to 10:30. The one neighbour saw someone bringing the trailer in while he and his son were were watching the hockey game on Wednesday night. Here's the link if you can see it. I'm over my quota of 10 for the month apparently.

The game that night finished at 10:23. It's a 2 hour drive from DM's house to the airport then back to his mother's house. So he would have had to leave his house shortly after 8:00, giving himself time to hook up the trailer. I wonder how late he worked in his back yard with friends that night.

Thanks Alethea

Not sure where I got the 1pm thing...but I think someone had mentioned that the game was shown again later on another channel.... but if it was around 10pm that the truck showed up then thats even more interesting. DM was at his Maple Court home during the evening of that Weds night. Evening to me would be after 6pm.... anything prior to that would indicate afternoon or late afternoon. JMO.....So either it wasn't him took the truck... or he drives remarkably fast and can hook up a trailer in record time. The neighbours said they were 'watching' the game I believe.... and that the truck that delivered the trailer had its lights on, which was the reason given as to why they didnt get a number from the plate.

This all suggests to me that it was dark...so after 9-30pm and before 10-30pm (if it was the live game they were watching). If it takes two hours to do a complete round trip from Maple Court to Ayr and then to Kleinburg and lets say 15 mins to hook up the trailer (depending on whether truck was already in trailer). It would suggest that he would have had to have left Maple Court at around 7pm to get there by 9-30pm .... so between 7pm and 8pm.

It seems rather odd that DM would be working on his house on an evening that he planned to deposit the truck at MB's house.... Maybe his friends were over to watch the game..... something doesn't sit right about this and imo DM does not appear to have delivered the truck.... JMO

Do we know for sure that the truck was at the hangar?
What if it was somewhere in Brantford?

I don't think we know where the truck was. I think it's mostly assumed that it was at the hangar because of the trailer. It seems like a logical place to store such a big trailer.

Was there any indication of the type of work that was being done?
Cutting grass? House Maintenance? No digging or washing anything? Just wondering if there was some kind of clean up happening?
