Arrest made in JonBenet Ramsey murder

somerfrost · #1 08-16-2006, 09:33 PM

When this little girl was found beaten and murdered in the basement of her wealthy parents home 10 years ago, there was a lot of finger pointing and accusations against her parents. Patsy Ramsey passed away a short time ago, still under a cloud of suspicion. Today, an arrest was made in Thailand of a 41 year old teacher, he was being held on unrelated sex charges at the time. It is unclear what role he played in JonBenet's murder but apparently the Bolder Colorado DA has been working the angle for some time and the family was aware of it. Hopefully this case will now be solved, justice for a little girl and the cloud of accusations removed from the family. Time will tell of course, but if so...we owe Pat Ramsey a debt that can never be paid...once again, you are suppose to be innocent in this nation until proven guilty, maybe someday folks will learn that!

Take your time before drawing any conclusions on this case.

There was some sort of prior relationship between the Ramseys and the suspect ... all very murky right now ... but wait until it gets sorted out.

Oh I agree...hopefully this time everybody will allow the evidence to be presented and the accused to have his day in court.

guy confessed to drugging, raping, and then killing (acident)
seems odd when his ex-wife was going to give him an alibi
10 years to solve the thing, guess better late than never
I didn't think any parents could do that to their child
but they did do some things that could be construed as suspicios
during the first part of the investigative process

Sick Bird, aint he?
Looks like he likes men and likes them a lot.
Poor little dear girl and her Mom, may they both rest in peace.

Karr gives me the "creeps". This is very bizarre stuff.
And...as Tracie, the professor that he e-mailed said, "When we see criminal activity as entertainment, it says a lot about us all."
The Ramsey familiy has indeed gone through hell.
RIP Pat and Jon Benet. Justice takes time, but the truth will out.

Dude's neck looks like a twig.

He better hope they keep him in solitary confinement if he ends up in the big house over this....

Homosexuality and pedophilia are two ENTIRELY different things, and if I may point out, it wasn't a little boy they arrested him over. If he were attracted to men, he wouldn't be in this jam.

Gander · #10 08-17-2006, 02:23 PM

Thanks for letting me know that, I was pretty sure they were the same thing.
I betcha this guy swings from both slides of the plate. Sick bird.

This is the truth.

Gander, psychiatry stopped considering homosexuality a mental illness in the early 1970's.

Pederasts and pedophiles are sexually attracted to kids. Repeat. Sexually attracted to kids. Homosexuals are attracted to adults of the same sex as they. Repeat. Attracted to adults. Huge difference.

Fun (I say that sarcastically) fact to know and tell-- the majority of the instances of priests molesting kids are male priests molesting girls. But that doesn't get the same amount of press as the small number of male priests molesting boys.

I have no problem with guys who like to putt from the rough. Thats their life. I still think this guy is a flaming homo who needs lots of help and some food. He looks mighty thin & pekid.

Flaming.

Yep, here we go again! This guy is gonna get the same treatment the Ramsey's got, people learn nothing! He may be a sick bird, certainly he's hard to like based on available information...all the more important he gets a fair trial and folks wait until after he's judged by the legal system to draw conclusions! Our legal system is NOT a popularity contest...if we don't hold true to the rule of law we are no longer a civilized society!

Somer, I apologize if you thought I was convicting him without a trial-- I actually thought Mr. Ramsey was pretty classy with what he said about not doing this guy like the Ramseys were done-- I was trying to clarify that pedophiles are not the same thing as homosexuals and implying they are is untrue and unfair to homosexuals. Since Gander is still referring to him as a "flaming homo" despite the fact the man was married at one time in his life and has not, to anything I've read, ever been involved with adult males, clearly my arguments are falling on deaf ears.

Yes, you are right. Innocent until proven guilty.

My post wasn't directed towards you, Genuine Risk...there has been a lot of crap posted here and at ESPN about this, of course in the case of ESPN...I have to consider the source!

The only problem is the guy seems more than willing to take the blame (which is not to say he did it, but if he didn't he apparently wishes he had). It's pretty hard to say it's just like how the Ramsey's got treated.

In both cases, folks jump to conclusions without hearing the facts! I agree this guy wants to take the rap...whether that's due to guilt feelings, psychosis or attention-seeking only a jury can sort out! He's hard to like, everybody is gonna want him to be guilty...that makes it absolutely necessary that he gets a fair trial!

Somer,
Now that's something I totally agree with you on.
This guy gives me the creeps, but he's entitled to the same system of justice as all of us are.
He might be a "grandstander"...I don't know.
He might be a pedophile...again, I don't know.
Does he deserve a "fair trial"? That I do know.
Give him a fair trial, and let the jury decide.
I'm all in favor of justice.

btw...I agree with GR. There is a very big difference between homosexuality and pedophiles. Both are outside "acceptable behavior" by many in our society. Gay people don't usually murder children. I don't know why others are so threatened by them. They should be allowed to find whatever they want with consenting adults.
Pedophiles are repugnant...whether with little boys or little girls.

Gander · #20 08-17-2006, 07:52 PM

You guys are taking my tongue in cheek humor too seriously. You really should lighten up. First and foremost I feel terrible for what this poor family has been and is still going through. Secondily I have nothing against gay people. I have a couple of friends who like to play pattycake with the same sex, dont bother me at all. Third, I was seriously appalled by the guy's photo. He looks like a psycopath and I hope the truth comes out. What the hell is he doing living in Thailand anyways and writing letters to the family? Surely a guy his age can find better things to do with his time.
