The sky darkened
The sky darkened. Literally. The expected rain is on its way, and the first clouds covered the sun at the exact moment it was announced that there is no DNA match to John Mark Karr in the JonBenet murder case here in Colorado. The sky darkened as it was announced that no charges will be filed. The sky darkened as it was announced that John Mark Karr was released from the custody of the Boulder Police.
We were wrong. He didn't do it. We wanted so badly for this to be it, for this to be real, that we fell for the lie. We believed that no DA in their right mind would extradite this pervert from Bangkok on suspicion of murdering JonBenet without the forensics to back up the charges. And the forensics definitely do not back up the suspicion.
John Mark Karr, thank God, will be detained after all, awaiting extradition back to California where he is wanted on child porn charges from which he fled in 2001. He will serve time, hopefully, but probably not a lot. And then, thanks to Boulder DA Mary Lacy, he will be set free on the streets of this country. He will be free to prey on children. On your children. On the children of your friends. On your grandchildren. On children yet unborn.
Mary Lacy must resign. She is a bumbling moron without the sense God gave a gnat, and she must resign from office immediately. For too long, Boulder has been in the limelight as a butt of jokes, and this will make national news for weeks. Probably for decades, as the crimes of this perverted, twisted animal John Karr continue to escalate. God willing, he will not actually escalate to murder, though that is the progression, often, in cases such as his. And by the way, the link highlighting her name is the link to her official webpage. Feel free to e-mail her. I assume it's safe to urge you to do this, as she has clearly posted her e-mail address on said webpage (or at least it's posted there as of 5:00 p.m. August 28, 2006). Just in case the contact info vanishes, however, I will post it here: mailto:boulder.da@co.boulder.co.us
God help America. We are a nation of idiots. I can say this at least insofar as Homeland Security helping this woman extradite Karr from Thailand were idiots for having done so. The Boulder DA's office are idiots. But mostly, the true idiots are those of us who dared to believe, to hope, to pray that maybe, just maybe, justice had finally come for a slaughtered little girl.
