Just finished reading all the newly unsealed messages between BB/JM and the many various guys they were trying to solicit on Fetlife and it just occurred to me how all these men must feel now (apologies for the poor wording) that they literally dodged a bullet by not having been “picked” by BB/JM to complete their scheme, and it makes it all the more sad for Joe that he DID meet their criteria….

Thinking of Joe is truly just so heartbreaking.. he thought he was going for a consensual encounter. Ends up being caught up in some twisted plot and murdered. Has his character smeared by Banfield, all of his private details revealed to the world and is falsely accused of being a murderer himself. Poor, poor guy.

Brendan and Juliana are sick.

What pisses me off most at this point is that it wasn't 20 years. She'll be out at age 35 at the latest and she can still have children & know the joy of motherhood. Something she ripped from Joe's mom and Christine Banfield.

So so sick. I can't even imagine how this has affected his loved ones. As if losing him wasn't worse enough, the circumstances and the aftermath of the awful smear campaign is just unfathomable to consider. jmo.
