I see the OD is blasting the Lifetime Network for sensationalizing the Craig List Killer case in a movie. I have to think that probably they are not only sensationalizing it, but the movie is probably the only recourse that the families of the victims have found to collect anything at all in monetary damages for the loss of their loved ones.
They hint that such movie is more or less despicable, but I thought at the time of the killings, and the boys arrest that his acts were quite despicable. I thought him to be a spoiled rich kid that could not face the music and take responsibility for his actions in gambling away his money, and also hung himself because he could not face the consequences for his selfish killing of those young ladies either. Killing people to save your ass from gambling debts or from the disdain of mom and dad is not acceptable behavior.
I guess we should be used to that kind of biased reporting by the OD by now. I have to think that anyone that will not publish the comments made by our own Swimmy, who has always had nothing to tell but the truth in all the time that I have known him. That goes all the way back to the original OD forums. Telling the truth is what frightened the OD into doing away with those very forums, which was the reason for the birth of Clipper's Busy Corner. ALL of our original members came from that discussion forum.
I feel badly for the young man's family, but that doesn't change the facts. My prayers are all that I can offer to ALL of the families involved. They ALL lost children as a result.

CB, it is not something I would care to see but sadly many in our society get off on other peoples tragedies and will watch it. Blood and gore sells and if a true story doesn't have enough the writers will make it so. Sad, but true.
